Maria Wasti

She currently hosts the game show Croron Mein Khel on the Pakistani television channel BOL Entertainment.

It would be later in the 1990s that Network Television Marketing (NTM), the country's first privately owned channel, showcased content specifically targeted at the young generation, and Wasti became interested in acting.

In the mid-1990s,[4] Wasti was approached by Bakhtiar Ahmed, the program manager of PTV Lahore Centre, to be cast in a play called Sarah Aur Ammara alongside Resham, a film actress.

[5] Wasti recalls that her first experience in acting was because of her passion for art, but later her parents told her to pursue the career in a professional manner.

[3] She also cites the reason for the decrease in the quality of drama serials as the lack of a supply of actors, actresses, writers, directors, and producers.
