Here are 10 Best Female News Anchors in India:

1. Anjana Om Kashyap

Hailing from Jhansi, Anjana is an executive editor of Aaj Tak. She started her career in the field of journalism from Doordarshan and then moved to Zee News and in 2007, joined Aaj Tak( Then News24). From Aaj Tak, her news anchoring occupation gets started. Her excellence is worthy of praise.

She is criticised for her biased anchoring and, is accused of reporting in favor of the right ideology. She was also highly trolled and faced lots of criticism for her behaviour.

2. Richa Anirudh

One of the sweetest hosts is Richa Anirudh who hosts a talk show called Zindgi Live on IBN7. Her way of getting emotionally connected with the people coming as a guest on the show and listening to their story is something that makes her unique.

She started her journalism career with Zee News and, later joined IBN7 (then channel 7). Now, she has her youtube channel named Zindagi with Richa. Her Twitter bio says Trying to be a Human and with her hosting skill she is proving that Humanity is all above.

3. Shweta Singh

She is actively working in the field of journalism from the first year of her graduation. Before becoming part of Aaj Tak, She had been part of Zee News and Sahara also. It is a bit amazing thing and also reveals her humble nature that even after completing more than 20 years in journalism, she still considers herself a misfit for this profession.

4. Nidhi Razdan

Host of NDTV news show Left Right & Centre graduated from Lady Shree Ram College, Delhi, Nidhi joined NDTV in the year 1999. She is now executive editor at NDTV. Be it political or social stories, she has covered a wide range of topics. However, Nidhi’s journalism is quite inclined to the left and she can be seen fiercely criticizing the BJP government.

Her reporting credibility was questioned when She interviewed the PM of Norway and claimed that Norway would mediate between India and Pakistan on the J&K issue, which was straightaway refused by Norwegian Ambassador, Nils Ragnar Kamsvag. Needless to say that her way was quite irresponsible and misleading.

5. Mini Menon

Born in Jammu, She graduated from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, and then did a master’s in Communication Research from the University of Pune. She started her journalism career with CNBC TV18 and then worked as News Editor for Times Now. In 2007, she joined Bloomberg TV India as Executive editor.

At present She is active as a Co-founder and Editor of Live History India. Live History India aims to collect the stories from history and various historical incidences to make it easier for history lovers to get the facts and facets of Incredible India. Hope that this platform will do good justice to Indian history by not whitewashing specific incidences.

However, her too much courageous journalism “caused concern” during the Kargil war and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, where she was covering the Hotel Taj live. Her irresponsible way of conducting her work brought BD lots of criticism. Hope BD becomes more sensible while covering such sensitive incidences.
