The reality show host, Waqar Zaka informed his fans through a Facebook status.

Zaka has left Play TV to join HTV Entertainment. According to him, things weren't working out with Play TV which forced him to leave.

HTV was launched in October 2010 and supervised by its Chief Executive Officer Faizan Syed. Since his arrival, he has transformed HTV from a medical channel into a health and lifestyle media platform. HTV was recently featured by BBC for its proper execution of a show on topics considered taboo in Pakistan.
