Tabish Ahmed Hashmi is a Pakistani-Canadian stand-up comedian, television host, and actor. He is best known as the host of the digital talk show To Be Honest on the YouTube channel Nashpati Prime, and the prime-time television comedy talk show Hasna Mana Hai on Geo TV.[1] In 2026, Hashmi joined the first season of Pakistan's Got Talent as a judge[2] and made his feature film debut in the crime comedy film Aag Lagay Basti Mein.[3]

Early life and career

[edit]

Hashmi was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan.[4] He graduated with a degree in engineering from the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology and later completed a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi.[5] Before transitioning into the entertainment industry, Hashmi lived in Canada, where he was employed professionally in the logistics and supply-chain management sectors.[6]

Career

[edit]

Stand-up comedy and digital media (2015–2022)

[edit]

Hashmi began his career in entertainment performing stand-up comedy, notably appearing in the live local collective The Laughing Stock in Karachi.[5] He gained wider public recognition through self-published digital comedic videos. In 2020, he was profiled by Aurora magazine as a notable digital media figure following his rapid audience growth on social media platforms.[4]

In 2020, Hashmi was cast as the host of To Be Honest (TBH), a digital celebrity talk show produced by Nashpati Prime.[5] Directed by Azfar Ali, the web-series featured unscripted, candid interviews with entertainment personalities and digital content creators, including Sanam Jung, Saboor Aly, and Irfan Junejo.[5] The series ran for three seasons, establishing Hashmi's profile for quick wit and conversational broadcasting. He announced his departure from the digital platform in January 2022 after signing a broadcast contract with Geo Network.[5]

Mainstream television broadcasting (2022–present)

[edit]

Hashmi transitioned to mainstream television hosting in 2022 with the launch of Hasna Mana Hai, a weekend evening comedy talk show broadcast on Geo TV.[1] The format blends celebrity interviews with audience interaction and satirical sketches.[7] During cricket tournaments in 2025, he also hosted the live sports-comedy program Haarna Mana Hai alongside former international cricketers Rashid Latif and Fawad Alam.[8]

In January 2026, Hashmi appeared as a guest commentator on Geo TV's current affairs program Report Card, discussing municipal governance and civic infrastructure concerns in Karachi following the Gul Plaza commercial fire incident.[9]

In June 2026, Hashmi was announced as one of the judges for the first season of Pakistan's Got Talent,[2] the Pakistani version of the international Got Talent franchise. The programme premiered on Geo Entertainment on 4 July 2026, with Hashmi appearing on the judging panel alongside Mehwish Hayat, Ali Zafar and Usman Bashir.[10]

Film debut (2026)

[edit]

Hashmi made his cinematic debut in the 2026 Eid ul-Fitr theatrical release Aag Lagay Basti Mein, a situational crime-comedy film directed by Bilal Atif Khan.[3] The film starred Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan in lead roles, with Hashmi playing the supporting character Changaiz (alias "Chota Marble"), the son of a local crime syndicate leader.[11][12]

His transition to acting received positive critical commentary; the Khaleej Times noted his character's introduction as an entertainment highlight of the film,[13] while Dawn Images observed that he balanced a menacing persona with comic vulnerability.[12]
