Sameena has been part of PTV since January 2019 and now has moved to Karachi to join her new channel. It is pertinent to mention that Sameena Kaamran, previously known as Sameena Rana, got married to her former colleague and Bol News anchor Muhammad Kaamran in 2020 who is based in Karachi.

While talking to MediaSpring Pk, Sameena said:

“Coming back to private media was a decision that I had to consider and take because I have been with state broadcaster for three years now and It was time to move on. Moreover, moving to Karachi is an important decision on the personal front too since this will help me give more quality time to the family since my husband is also in the same city, managing the family remotely being a working woman in another city with an infant son is not an easy job. Working at PTV was one of the best experiences of my career. That place is certainly a TV channel where one must work once. I have loads of best wishes for Pakistan Television. I am sure this new place and new city will be a great turn in my career. And one thing I must say I will really miss Islamabad.”

Hailing from Faisalabad, Sameena has been part of the Pakistani media industry for more than nine years now, she started her career in 2013 when she moved to Islamabad to join Pakistan Television as a news anchor. In 2014 she moved to Sach TV in Islamabad.

In 2018, Sameena moved back to Lahore and joined Captial TV which was moved to Lahore from Karachi. She was not only a prominent news anchor of the channel but also an ace newscaster Sameena was also the face of the news hour of the channel known as Pakistan @ 8.
