Sudhir Chaudhary was the face of Zee News for nearly a decade. So much so that the Hindi TV news channel’s brand, after a point, was indistinguishable from him. So, when he abruptly quit in June 2022, all eyes were on his next move.
Ten days later, Chaudhary, amid much fanfare, joined Aaj Tak as consulting editor and anchor of Black & White, a new primetime show. Kalli Purie, vice chairperson of the India Today Group, which runs Aaj Tak, boasted that her TV channel was the natural home for a household name in news and that she was glad Chaudhary had taken a call that would not disappoint his fans.
