And ultimately, erased," he wrote in the internal resignation followed a workplace culture marked by "retaliation, exclusion, and psychological harm," Dhanraj said."A place where asking hard questions – about tokenism masquerading as diversity, problematic political coverage protocols, and the erosion of editorial independence – became a career-ending move," the e-mail has not appeared on air since early December 2024.

Smriti Irani calls Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi a ‘side project': ‘I am a part-time actor, full time politician'

Smriti Irani is all set to make a comeback on the small screen with the second season of her iconic television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. In a recent interview, the actor-politician opened up about managing both the careers. While describing herself as a full-time politician and a part-time actor, Smriti called the TV show a 'side project'. While talking to NDTV, she said, 'Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is a side project. For most consumers, the project is not one individual, it's always a group of actors coming together. A group of writers coming together. I am, very humbly so, the most recognisable face out of that mix of people but I am a full time politician and a part-time actor. Just like many politicians who are part-time lawyers, part-time teachers, part-time journalists. I just happen to be doing it simultaneously, which is difficult to grasp. I am just the one in the spotlight.' ALSO READ | 'We broke the so-called glass ceiling…I am paid more than the male actor': Smriti Irani on pay parity while shooting Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi; how to ask for it Smriti Irani further shared that she is unbothered by people who say that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi promotes patriarchal values. 'Couldn't care less, because the criticism was not constructive or informed. The show spoke about marital rape 25 years ago. The show about adult literacy 25 years ago. The show spoke about euthanasia 25 years ago. Those were issues that were not even touched by mainstream cinema, and we did it commercially in a television slot which was meant for family viewing. One needs to understand 25 years there was nothing called pay parity. We brought pay parity where one's talent and not gender decided how much one would get paid. Ektaa Kapoor was given 10:30 slot, which was a dead slot and we created prime time.' Talking about how she feels about making a comeback on screen, Smriti expressed, 'For a 49 year old to have a 25 year run, not only in media, but also politics… That is a blessed run, because in our country's history, never has somebody managed to, with God's blessings, managed to be successful in both these very competitive fields. And more so, if you're a woman to be at the top of the game continuously for two and a half decades in media and politics is no mean feat. But that is also somewhere where destiny and luck has had a role to play.' Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi will air from July 29 at 10.30 pm on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
