kTV 2 Anchor Rejects “Acting,” Prefers to Move Forward Step by Step
Among the noteworthy faces deserving attention and spotlight is Dr. Randa Bahman, an anchor at Kuwait Television’s Channel 2 (kTV2), who combines knowledge, intellect, and appearance. An academic who has dedicated her scientific expertise to serving her mission and instilling key concepts in the minds of the current generation in the fields of entrepreneurship and business, she chose to proceed step by step, avoiding the rush for fame and widespread recognition. Consequently, she declined to pursue acting.
Bahman stated: “I began my journey with simple steps. Initially, I did not have grand expectations about how far I could reach through this experience. However, when I observed positive feedback from the audience and sensed genuine interest in what I offer, I felt a stronger motivation to continue and move forward, striving to enhance my experience and deliver content that resonates with people’s interests and finds an echo within them.”
She added: “Media, in general, captivates me, and I find myself interested in its various forms and pathways. I do not confine my experience to a single media genre; rather, I believe that diversity in experiences enriches one’s media presence and provides a broader space for expressing one’s ideas and capabilities. Therefore, I have no objection to trying my hand at presenting programs with different themes, whether social, cultural, or entertainment-oriented. What matters most to me is finding myself reflected in the content I present and being able to engage with it authentically.”
“Fame”
Fame is not my primary goal, nor was the pursuit of widespread recognition the driving force behind my choice of this field. In earlier stages, I was offered opportunities in other areas, including acting, which could have served as a gateway to fame and visibility. However, I preferred to pursue this media genre because it aligns most closely with my personality and best expresses my interests and convictions. I am interested in the nature of the issues I address and feel that I have something meaningful to contribute through them. Moreover, I find in this type of work a genuine space to express my thoughts and discuss topics I believe are important and influential in society.

“Media Orientation”
She clarified: “Media, in general, captivates me, and I find myself interested in its various forms and pathways. I do not confine my experience to a single media genre; rather, I believe that diversity in experiences enriches one’s media presence and provides a broader space for expressing one’s ideas and capabilities.

Fame and Choosing This Media Genre
Fame is not my primary goal, nor was the pursuit of widespread recognition the driving force behind my choice of this field. In earlier stages, I was offered opportunities in other areas, including acting, which could have served as a gateway to fame and visibility. However, I preferred to pursue this media genre because it aligns most closely with my personality and best expresses my interests and convictions. I am interested in the nature of the issues I address and feel that I have something meaningful to contribute through them. Moreover, I find in this type of work a genuine space to express my thoughts and discuss topics I believe are important and influential in society.
“Television Segment”
The television segment, titled “Sustainability in Action with Dr. Randa,” features a group of young presenters and aims to bring the concept of sustainability closer to the audience by presenting it in a simplified and clear manner, far from complex theoretical and academic discourse. It does so by linking scientific concepts to everyday practices and reinforcing sustainability as a culture and behavior that can be applied across various fields.
“Book”
Bahman revealed the imminent launch of her new book, “Handbook of Business Essentials,” which she is publishing in collaboration with the British publishing house Austin Macauley, as part of the activities of the 49th edition of the Kuwait International Book Fair, scheduled to take place from November 18 to 28. She explained that the book presents the most prominent management theories and modern business strategies in a clear and simplified style, taking into account the nature of students for whom English is a second language.
