Naghma Sahar, a popular face on Indian television, is a news reporter for NDTV India, and used to host Salaam Zindagi on NDTV India.
Born and Bought up in Bihar . After securing a Masters degree in Geography from Delhi School of Economics (University of Delhi), Naghma was working towards getting a Phd degree. But life, it seems, had other plans for her.
She was awarded a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in rural development. During this time, Naghma worked with Aaj Tak for a month as a researcher. She went back to academics only to join Aaj Tak later in November 1999.
She started her career in the television media as a reporter in 1999. Before that she had a brief stint as a print journalist with Asian Age.
A shy person by nature, Naghma was into academics and coming face to face with million of viewers was certainly not something she planned for herself.
She joined NDTV in 2003 and has since been anchoring primetime news on NDTV India while also reporting on important events. Covering stories that touch human lives has been Naghma's forte. On her talk show, Salaam Zindagi, she gets to use her natural sensitivity while handling stories of courage and success. She now hosts International Agenda, a presentation on International news and Indian defence policies towards world nations.
Today, she is a known face on NDTV. From print journalism to broadcast journalism, this lady has come a long way. An anchor of several prime time shows, Naghma has also worked with the United Nations Population Council and the Centre for Social Research (CSR) - an NGO which focuses on women issues
She loves to travel and spends most of her free time reading. One of her all time favourites in Literature has been Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.
