How did you get on television in Tehran?

I’ve been lucky to have quite a unique career in the entertainment industry where my face pops up in seemingly the most unlikely places. I’ve had an avid interest in culture and politics and when I was asked to appear as a guest expert on a new Iranian channel that hopes to rival that of Al Jazeera I jumped at the chance. I’m currently in talks to appear on other channels from the Middle East.
