[@manatoshbanerji6451]

She is beyond her classical physical beauty, is admirable in her acute understanding of world affairs and quietly effective as a TV journalist. She currently hosts BBC TV program Impact several days a week.

[@packer812]

She is very good looking. I don't care if she's a bad journalist. I am watching BBC World News becaus of her.

[@Agent.K.]

I only watch TV when I have to discuss something with my parents (cuz they're watching 24/7 lol). So today they were watching bbc and I saw her for the first time. 10 mins later I stood up and told them I have some "research" I must do xD.

[@Mrlalandary]

She is not a bad journalist. She is excellent.

More and more reason to watch B.B.C. World News.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

mujeeb lalandary She's a regular journalist. She doesn't reflect or analyse what she reports. That's why I am not as much interested in her work as in her personality. She as a person is way more interesting than her politics.

Just because they migrated back then, she could become a journalist today. Imagine had they stayed in Afghanistan.

[@ikik1648]

I know all these comments mean well, but coming from Johnny Harris' video about society's expectations for female reporters, we should be focusing more on her accomplishments than her looks / voice.

[@jonathanfowler4838]

Do you have a link to that Johnny Harris video? I couldn't find it (admittedly I was searching quickly).

[@Alisisrar]

No doubt Yalda Hakim you are a very beautiful lady with colored eyes. Your style of speaking and delivering in English too very attractive and eloquent. Despite optimism you during this interview showed in Afghanistan, nothing changed there as only two days before three women returning home after work in a TV station were shot dead in Jalalabad. I had also been to Kabul & Jalalabad during 2006 and saw the backwardness from my own eyes.

[@sk-4464]

[@josephbear4036]

It is clear when I watched 'Our World' that Yalda is an articulate reporter but unfortunately having watched her feature on 'Our World' I realise that she oversimplifies certain issues especially within Asian (Far Eastern) cultures.

[@kaleemkhwaja7624]

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

She is intelligent and eloquent, it's a pleasure to listen to her, but you can't talk Afghan politics without mentioning Afghanistan's lack of sovereignty. You can't discuss the puppet regime without addressing its role in oppressing its own people. You can't mention the occupiers without referring to economic exploitation and neocolonialism. I am, once again, disappointed by her.

[@saffronshadow]

Yalda is my Delila

[@prathameshuphale7399]

Hollywood goddess

[@baltzlyn5769]

I have watched many impact shows presented by her. My conclusion is that she is a good presentor but an unqualified reporter as she has quite obvious biases towards some countries and cultures perhaps because of the radicalised ideology dominating BBC, the media she works for.

[@jankhan683]

Nizhi Xu this is not about her qualifications its about her and our beloved country Afghanistan

[@zoperxplex]

If you mean that she is about to demonize Islam, then, no, Ms. Hakim is unlikely to engage in a brand of journalism orientated with that objective in mind. What she does provide is a different perspective to the one normally observed from a Western European spectrum.
