Sitaron ki baarat :). Review on Five Best Television Hosts or Personalities

I thought and thought what next I can write on. I do not listen to music so the option on writing on music albums, best songs etc is not available for me. I haven?t watched any new/old films so that makes the movies review option null?I better stop beating around the bushes and come to the point?the only thing I do everyday is watch TV?so why not write something about it then?so here I am?raking my brain to list down the 10 best hosts/anchor or personalities on TV( n not 5)?you all are free to disagree, debate or support me on whomsoever you wish to?

To begin with, I would only be focusing on the Indian Television Industry as it is growing each day by leaps and bounds... Nowadays, it is not difficult to be on TV? if you have a phone (a mobile phone preferable to send all those sms?s), internet connection, some money and a little/no talent?you can dream of becoming a TV star?acting is no big deal when it comes to TV as we see hoards of young aspirants being shoved in and out each day?but even in these mad race?there are some genuinely good TV stars who are their because of their sheer talent?and my review desires to bring them to the limelight ( like if they didn?t have any!!! )

1. Vir Sanghvi ? He is one of the best in the business?both on TV and on the print media?He is the editor of the Hindustan Times (Delhi) and his articles are a delight to read? Similarly his interviews and shows on TV are informative, interactive and a pleasure to watch. He has a great command on the English language and the only time he gave a show in Hindi?it was a disaster?nevertheless he is one of the respected lots in the business?

   
   




2. Barkha Dutt - A lady who has carved a niche in whatever she did?be it news anchoring from the cozy air conditioned sets in Delhi to the dimly lit bunkers in Kargil?you can?t have another Barkha?she is too good when it comes to news anchoring?the respect and accolades are all well deserved?NDTV will be lost without her?n she is tough gun with a heart which is humane?never shows her biasness or emotions on screen?and has worked her way to all the inner secrets of the major political parties?which is tough by any standards?

   
   




3. Rajdeep Sardesai - With his ruffled hair look, he is the best political analyst and anchor you can get on TV?for once, I will show my personal biasness towards this man?( I have a big time crush on him )?he was the right hand of Prannoy and gave NDTV the start it wanted?his shows were always well rated and he was the best?interviewees had a tough time with him as he didn?t give them a leeway?the elections are always so much more fun and informative with him?the respect, the admiration is evident from the amount of awards he managed to get as a news anchor and the media coverage he got when he quit NDTV?a journalist still belonging to the old school?sting journalism is a no for him?

   
   




4. Karan Thapar - He is a veteran on TV?with his endless shows, interviews and articles ?he is never out of news?with his impeccable style of interviewing, you can just pity the poor interviewee?he doesn?t grill them fast n quick?it is a slow painful process many a times?n who can forget his ?the famous tie? which he got as a gift from our mushy dear (I mean Musharraf for the uninitiated)?he was all in the news?yet again!!!

   
   




5. Roshan Abbas - He has had a successful stint on the small screen?I don?t know if most of you know him or seen his shows?he is a good theatre actor and has a good experience while hosting game shows and some interviews as well?one of the few people who is good in both English and Hindi?a well read person who has a good screen presence?

   
   




6. Shekhar Suman - You can?t ignore this man?with his humor, punch lines and continual shows?he is a name to reckon with?personally I prefer him for talk shows and as a stand up host?his serials were good, different and worked well with the masses?excellence in Hindi and English is his biggest asset and the ?I don?t care?attitude gives him an extra edge?.ripped apart quite a few of the biggies on his shows?a great watch, anytime!

   
   




7. Cyrus Broacha - Now who hasn?t seen him or heard him?he is by far the best on his channel?his jokes are not below the belt, sometimes difficult to comprehend but most of the time funny?his wit is now and then subtle & on the face? a distinctive brand of humor?as an anchor, he does his job well?interaction with people on the day to day basis makes him more normal or abnormal?your take! ? a good time pass always?n he makes sense as well?irrepressible sometimes?

   
   




8. Sajid Khan - His comic timing is good?I was not a keen watcher of his shows earlier but now I am?he leaves no stones unturned to dismantle the top notches of the Indian film industry and does a good job too?he has no fineness in one language and his weapon is the ?aam junta?talks he does?he can carry of a stand up act pretty well but no acting please?a person who has managed to prove his mettle?finally?

   
   




9. Derek O brian - If u watch a quiz show, chances are you will see him hosting it?he has an inherent sense of charm that excludes on screen every time he speaks?an excellent orator with dollops of intelligence?no wonder he is the best in quiz show hosting?suave is thy name?

   
   




10. Amitabh Bachchan- I couldn?t have let him go?nope?he revolutionized Indian television?what can I say about an icon?the warmth, the love and genuine exhilaration that contestants show when they meet him?says it all?a person who has touched the skies but his feet are firmly on ground?a show host, a quiz master, a great actor?done everything with élan and proved the critics wrong?every time?
