In past Geo Tv has also collaborated with Indian media houses to produce music contest shows with some cliched motives like “peace”, “bridging the gap”, “bringing both countries closer”, “mend relations” to name a few. Such shows are recorded in UAE. The last such show was Surkeshetra. It is really difficult to comment whether such shows really bring both countries together or not, but definitely such shows surely get lot of mainstream media attention. Interestingly contrary to the claims of bringing peace, the publicity campaign of Geo Tv also present such shows as a battle between two countries. Following its own tradition of this “one-sided love affair“, now Geo Tv is coming with another show named Asia’s Singing Superstar. The show will be hosted by Ahsan Khan and Shafqat Amanat Ali. Shafqat Amanat Ali is already conducting auditions in UAE to select the contestants from India and Pakistan. The show will be aired next year on Geo Tv, har pal haseen hai har pal geo.
