Afghanistan’s Got Talent will be the 55th adaptation of the show, following recent Brazilian and Kazakhstan installments. Judges and a celebrity host are yet to be announced.
A source on a Metro article said, “There may be a war raging in Afghanistan – but people are still living their lives and they enjoy watching TV just like anyone else.”
