Days before yesterday, it was a rumor, but, it's a reality now, the resignation of Ravish Kumar (Former Senior Executive Editor of NDTV India) is effective immediately, announced by the company itself in an internal mail.
Kumar, who has been an integral part of NDTV for over 26 years, and hosted a number of programmes including the channel’s flagship Prime Time, Ravish ki Report, Des Ki Baat, and Hum Log, left the company, over its soon-to-happen takeover by Adani Group.
Veteran journalist Ravish Kumar, is also known for his tremendous work on issues that impacted the people of the country. Furthermore, He has been twice conferred with the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award and Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2019.
In a recent video, released by him on his official youtube channel, Kumar expressed his grief by saying that- "9 PM would be on my mind as soon as I woke up in the morning. But right now, it could not be prime time or even 9 o'clock. He will keep remembering the red mic, besides he doesn't know what he will do at 9 PM now."
