MUMBAI: Who says news anchors and reporters are boring fuddy-duddy folks who only research and track developments through the day?
Well Shereen Bhan and Megha Vishwanath, who work for CNBC TV18 as managing editor and assistant editor respectively, show they are not in this twitter post they put out on Sunday, 12 April 2020.
In the video, Vishwanath is playing the guitar – and that too pretty dexterously – and Bhan belts out the John Denver classic Country Roads, which many of us can’t get enough of. And mark our words, Bhan sure can sing. She is pretty much on key and makes you feel good. They go on to mix it with Lucky Ali’s Milke Bichad Na to Dastoor Ho Gaya and both do a pretty good job of it. Before finally switching to Country Roads once again.
The duo finally sign off with a pretty sheepish giggle. And they have tagged the post as “newsroom jamming”.
So, remember guys, unlike most of us who are at home, these two are actually trudging their way bravely to the news studio, working their butts off to bring viewers the latest in the time of COVID-19.
Hats off to these unsung heroes of the pandemic!
