“I didn’t use any religion card to gain access in the media industry. I worked hard and did a lot of work before I got any recognition,” he added.
Media veteran Yousaf Baig Mirza, who heads the Public News channel, said Singh was chosen as newscaster due to his flamboyant looks and voice pitch.
Singh graduated masters degree in journalism from Federal Urdu University Karachi. He started as a reporter. Though the immediate family of Singh is based in Pakistan, his extended family members keep on visiting from India.
