TV Newsance 265: Kangana’s farmers’ protest comment, POOKIE baba on Amish’s show

This week, we’re back with a roundup of the best and worst of the TV news world. Jay Shah has been elected as the youngest chairman of the International Cricket Council. Of course, netizens couldn’t resist trolling him, labeling him a product of nepotism — but hey, we wish him all the best!

Speaking of nepotism, Kangana returns to TV Newsance once again with another head-scratcher of a statement.

Naturally, the backlash was swift, even from within her own party. We’ll take you through her TV appearances and the bizarre things she had to say.

Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to go viral, Amish invited Aniruddhacharya, aka POOKIE Baba, to his show for a Janmashtami special. We’ll break down the problematic remarks this baba has made and how Amish handed him a platform on national TV.
