Description

What does it take to build an empire when no one gives you a roadmap?


In this episode, Sultana Siddiqui, the force behind ‪HUM, talks about starting from scratch, fighting nepotism, and carving out space for women when the industry refused to make room.


From working in a garage to launching one of South Asia’s biggest entertainment channels, she reflects on loss, resilience, and why teaching the next generation is her biggest mission. We also explore the state of Pakistani media, its obsession with saas-bahu sagas, and why she still believes in creating stories that matter.
