She interviewed a variety of Pakistani celebrities, artists, performers, religious leaders, athletes and politicians. There were also segments on Islam, and health and beauty. The show was banned in 2010 by the Dubai government. Sources say that Khan showed actress Noor Bukhari and her husband fight before Bukhari's interview. Her husband claimed in court that "our family matter", so the court banned Khan's show in Dubai for six months.

Khan won the Masala Lifestyle Awards For Best TV Presenter 2008 and Masala Lifestyle Awards For Best TV Presenter 2009, out of five candidates, from Zee Tv, Sony TV, Star Plus and ARY Digital.[10]
