Hila Noorzai is set to host a four-day talk show, “Vier avonden op rij,” on NPO 1, airing from 7:05 PM, offering her a platform to explore topics close to her heart, particularly injustice, and engage with those directly affected. While open to the possibility of a longer-term talk show, she acknowledges the current crowded landscape and focuses on making the most of this opportunity. Noorzai emphasizes the importance of meaningful conversations over elaborate showmanship, prioritizing substance and genuine connection with the audience.

Noorzai reflects on her personal journey, including learning to express her emotions and balancing her Afghan and Dutch identities. Despite the emotional control she maintains while presenting, she values emotional expression in her personal life. Her family’s experience as refugees from Afghanistan has shaped her pragmatic outlook.

Noorzai expresses a clear preference for television over radio, citing its greater reach and influence, while also appreciating the skills and opportunities radio has provided. While she values her experiences in radio, she prefers TV and has no desire to co-present with a man again, recounting instances where her contributions were overshadowed.

As a presenter, Noorzai states her preference for being the one asking questions, emphasizing the importance of advocating for oneself and not fearing rejection. She has learned to view rejection as a professional rather than a personal setback, understanding that opportunities may arise later.

Noorzai emphasizes the importance of planning and setting goals, viewing her current position as a destination she has worked towards. Securing a permanent contract with Avrotros provides her with stability and peace of mind for her parents, who are proud of her accomplishments.

Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, on July 22, 1992, Hila Noorzai’s career spans various media roles, including radio DJ, presenter, and participant in reality TV shows. She studied Media and Entertainment Management and has worked for Qmusic, AD.nl, and EenVandaag. Noorzai currently resides in Amsterdam with her husband.
