Ghap Shap with with BBC Asian Network’s
Noreen Khan on marriage and staying positive.
by Adeeba Sanna Zahoor Noreen Khan is a hugely popular radio and TV presenter. She currently takes the much sought after drive time slot at the BBC’s Asian Network radio station. She balances that with being a business woman, having her own accessories and clothing line and has recently started her Noreen Khan - OFF MIC vlog. Having always had a passion for music, Noreen knew she was destined for the music industry, and after volunteering at her local hospital radio show when she was younger, she knew this is where she wanted to be. And here she is, chatting to Asian Style Magazine on the topic of her latest vlog last week: “Why aren’t you married yet?”. Welcome Noreen, you mention in your Vlog that people send you messages frequently asking you when you will be getting married etc, however, do you also get pressure from your family or do they have the same viewpoint and understanding as yourself? I’m very fortunate that my parents and family have never pressurised me about marriage. My mum is very open minded and totally understands where I’m coming from and simply says ‘Noreen when the time is right it will happen for you, I’m not worried that you’re single’. I’m very lucky I have very cool parents!
