Mumbai: Sudhir Chaudhary will be joining Aaj Tak as a Consulting Editor. He has recently resigned as the chief executive officer of Zee Media where he was associated for over 10 years with the news broadcaster.

India Today Group's vice-chairperson Kalli Purie in a letter welcomed him and said, "Sudhir and Aaj Tak are collaborating to bring to our 100 million viewers an exciting new show anchored by him. This show will be under the supervision of news director Supriya Prasad."

Sudhir was last seen on the award-winning, high-engagement, TRP record-setting show DNA. He has one of the largest followings on social media and a galaxy of awards from every reputable organization.

Sudhir resigned from Zee Media to start his venture. Commenting on his new innings, Purie added, "I am glad he has taken a call that will not disappoint his fans who are paramount for him. It’s excellent that his first venture is in alliance with us, and I hope that we will be able to work together on other projects. I also wish him well for his non-news initiatives."

"I am confident that Sudhir and Aaj Tak will be a powerhouse combination that further strengthens our portfolio of superstar anchors making us the news brand in the country," she further added in the letter.
