Prema Sridevi is
one of the most respected television journalists of India. She is currently
working as Editor, News and Special Projects with Republic English News
Channel. She is a trusted ally of veteran Arnab Goswami who has a habit of
giving tough investigative projects to her. She has always justified the trust
shown on her. It is because of this fact that Arnab poached her from Times Now
when he started Republic. Like Arnab, Prema was also with Times Now since its
inception.
Profile of Prema Sridevi
Prema was born
and brought up in Thiruvanthpuram. She is a Nair by caste and her father’s name
is Rajashekharan Nair. She has done post graduation in Mass Communication from
Commits Institute, Bangalore. While doing PG, she did internship with Deccan
Herald, The Times of India and NDTV. When Times Now started, Prema was among
the first recruits. She got offer from Times Now when she was in the final year
of PG.
Prema did
wonderful job with Times Now and was considered a strong point behind the
stupendous success of this channel. She left Times Now when Arnab Goswami
decided to put papers and start a new channel.
Prema Sridevi
stole the limelight during the initial days of Republic. She had explosive
tapes which give hint of some conspiracy behind the death of Sunanda Pushkar.
Arnab wanted to run those tapes when he was in Times Now. However, the
management was not ready to go ahead with such explosive contents. Obviously,
Arnab ensured that Prema retained those tapes for future use.
It should be
noted that Prema as a responsible citizen had shared all these tapes with the
Delhi Police. However, neither UPA Government nor Modi led NDA Government
showed courage to ask Delhi Police to probe the matter. It seems this endeavor
of Prema may finally give justice to the departed soul of Sunanda Pushkar.
Husband and Boyfriend of Prema Sridevi
When it comes to
personal life, Prema ensured that her privacy never gets breached. She doesn’t
share anything about her personal life. In one of her social media profile, she
has just indicated that she is still single. Apart from that, there is no
relevant information.
Police Complaint
against Prema Sridevi
Times Now has
filed an FIR against Arnab Goswami and Prema Sridevi. The issue is tapes
related to Lalu – Shahbuddin and that of Sunanda Pushkar tapes. Obviously, the
duo had these tapes while working with Times Now. But, the point is about
journalism ethics. If you consider these tapes to be out in the public
interest, you have to do that at any cost. Times Now was not ready to run those
tapes and hence they retained copy and ran on the new channel. There is absolutely
nothing wrong here. The act of Times Now only shows its desperation and
dwindling TRPs. The response of Arnab Goswami summarizes their frustration.
Prema Sridevi
had given these tapes to Delhi Police. These tapes were available with Times
Now. She didn’t keep it only with herself. In fact, she tried to help the
investigating team. If nothing worked out, making tapes public through Republic
was only option left for her.
Ha ha ha ha ....... the profile has been created in May 2017 .....Just to ensure that you can create a euphoria following the launch of Republic TV. Had you been a great journalist you would have been retained by Time Now.
ReplyDelete"Prema Sridevi stole the limelight during the initial days of Republic." what a lousy statement. We are still in the initial days of Republic TV.....Seeing this blog post it is very much evident that Prema, Arnab and Republic TV raised the Sunanda Pushkar to steal the LIME LIGHT...................Such pathetic journalism. Self declared "Most Respected Journalist"..................LOL........
Dont be so harsh on her. It requires guts these days to come out with so many 'exposes' via the media. Republic is doing very well by bringing to the fore-front the news which other MSM was hiding till date.
DeleteAgree with Mr. Mehtab. You really need guts and immense courage to do this kind of job. They are in competition with Times Now and showing this kind of video could really jeopardize their lifves; God forbid me. Sometime you really do want to do and they are doing the same. Not retaining by channel does mean you are not loyal or diligent. they long stay with NDTV exemplify their dedication towards job
DeleteNever heard about Prema Sridevi earlier!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to her and the entire team of Arnab Goswami in Republic TV.
