ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash | Episode 7 - Navika Kumar, Group Editor - Times Network
Navika Kumar is a household name when it comes to television news. She has been a flag bearer for women journalists, one of the few woman editors of a news channel. In a candid conversation with Smita Prakash, Navika Kumar opens up about her family, her transition from print to television news, and the struggles of multitasking as a mother and an editor. For the first time, she narrates about what happened that evening during the controversial episode which included Nupur Sharma which drew a lot of flak. Without mincing any words she sheds light on the feud between her and friend-turned-adversary Arnab Goswami. We also come across her Zen-like persona while dealing with trolls and other critics.

This is a podcast not a witness stand of court .
Few days back I saw Farukh Abdulla being interviewed by Navika . He had no answers to her interrogative questions on Kashmir Issues and Hindu massacre. He ultimately left the studio. What a marvellous anchoring by her. God bless her..
Two great female TV Journalists!! Wish you both all the best !!

Still can't forget the evening when Navika jumped around the studio with her colleague Rahul breaking false news about Arnab! High time she acknowledged that she was wrong!
Super to hear out to Navika. I agree totally on one aspect of Navika that ignore all of that which does not suit you..live & let live. And the ease with which Smitha spoke to her, it was awesome...look forward to more such Podcast
Much respect to Navika! Love the let go attitude! It's an inspiration. Smita, love this new series! Keep up the good work! It's such a pleasure to listen to people just put out their perspective with no BS, also to listen to the human behind all of the things we see. Thank you!

Absolutely loving these podcasts. It has that sense of relaxation, where you can sit in a comfortable chair and listen to some great conversations. Lots of love for Smita for adding that personal touch in each of these conversations that makes it even more interesting 👏👏
Except on Arnab, she is genuine on most of the things
It's such pleasant experience to see you both talking like two very grounded, level headed, intelligent and hard working ladies talking with remarkable clarity and conviction, Smita Prakash and Navika Kumar.
One of the finest conversations on KZread ❤️ . Two of the most graceful women in the business.

Her rants against Arnab on TRP kissa affected her popularity. That incident made many to think that she was a puppet in the hands of her paymasters. Barring this, she is way better tha leftist woman journos.
I literally feel, Navika is in sync with my thoughts, her story too is mine, my parents similar
Ladies,, You are partially right when you say today everyone is questioning. The problem is that the Media is always questioning the Opposition, whereas BJP is in power! The 4th pillar of democracy is supposed to ask tough questions of the ruling dispensation to hold them accountable. The most powerful person in the Government is PM Modi. Please enlighten the viewers on how many times have you guys been able to ask PM Modi questions during the past 8 years???
Navika you are extremely intelligent and are top Indian star journalists, we love your work, our evening start with your program God bless you be happy and smile always 😊
The way Smita maneuvers the engaging conversation with the guests is excellent 👏👏👏 This show is here to stay. Nice 👍
Till now I used to watch her sometimes but now I love her as a person. So lovely talk between two empowered women of our Country.
My lucky number 7 and lucky to see 7th episode, 2 International Icons chatting together. Jai Ho!
She’s responsible for what has happened to Nupur Sharma irrespective of what excuse she gives. I will always blame her for igniting that level for hate between two ppl for mere TRP. She’s endangered Nupur for life.
You must bring Arnab!!
3 people have taunted either Arnab directly or his Republic TV Channel, when he was going through a low phase, after the false accusation of bribing to get TRPs. They are, Rahul Shivshankar, Rajdeep Sardesai and Navika Kumar. Although, I respect all 3 of them, their criticism against him was a shock for me. My respect for Arnaab increased 1 notch high, after watching the podcast with Smita Prakash, where he didnt name or shame any of them, even after coming out clean from this scam. He said he doesn't like bitterness. This man is GREAT 🙏
Excellent free-flowing conversation, and I enjoyed every bit of it. More power to both of you, keep up the great work. 🙏😊
Smita Prakash jee and Navikaa Kumar jee Koti Koti Naman for serving Bhaarat .🙏🙏🙏🙏
Loving these podcasts, laid back Sundays! Navika is shrewd, smart and not as though She speaks of herself. 😆 Invite Rajiv Malhotra Sir, J Sai Deepak, Neelesh Oak, Anand, Arnob.
The excellent quality of the audio adds to these very interesting and informative conversations! Keep them coming 😊 thanks
With due respect to her, she can never become Arnab..

Loved this podcast. Loved the way it was done by Smitha. Navika you are star. Your answers were so grounded and your experience and maturity comes out so beautiful.
You are a successful journalist, Navikaji. Your anchoring has good following. You are one of the top Indian TV anchor
It was great to hear the chit chat between two outstanding journalists ....and friends!..... Continue with your program Smita...
I liked this chat, it felt like two friends talking casually.
I adore you both. Keep it up you self assured ladies.
Amazing duo,keep inspiring
Loved it. Kudos to Navika and Smita for such an engrossing conversation. Informative, entertaining and excellent. Stay strong and blessed.👍👍
Its great listening to these podcasts. Keep up the good work.
Great conversation to see both great journalists. Both of you set the bar high for the youngsters coming into journalism nowadays. Keep up the good work ..
Its nice to see Navika apart from the channel . Its refreshing to get to know her as a person she is honest , brave and pretty chilled - one could actually begin to like her 😉

Navika doesn't know the meaning of the word HONESTY, only thing is good about her is that she's a patriot, she should have apologized for taking sides with Prambir Singh in blaming Arnab on the TRP SCAM. It costs nothing to say sorry.
I am loving these episodes 😍❤️
Its wonderful to see a different side of Navika Kumar. I like her candid talk. She is very casual and self critical. Amazing to see her. True Punjabi!!!
Thanks Smitaji,like you, I am also from Karnataka, and this is called the real interview technique so many we things we did not know about Navikaji,well done.

ANI NEWS is my favourite, now. Kb end ho gaya pata hi nahi chala. I m a home maker, when get free listen to u guys. Lovely to hear two matured voices 👏 👌 Both were awesome.
It was wonderful interview. It was really amazing to know Navika ji as a person.
2 gentlewomen of Print media... Alwys smiling...
Netaji in background!!! This is the change of echo system (not the political right or left) which is much needed. 👌
Navika ji is my fav of all journalists. It was lovely to get to know her personal side n outlook towards situations Df he had been in her career. I wish her best of everything she dream of. Always b hee faithful admirer n listener.
I REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO BOTH OF U. Thank U

Great podcast, continue it
Wow! I really like the format of the interview. It is like, in the exams you don't understand the question but still, you write the answer you know and you get full marks :) 👏
This woman is so chilled out! Love it!
Pl make podcast with nupur sharma...
The best podcast i have ever seen. Hats off to Navika & Sincere thanks to Smita
Thank you for this wonderful podcast.
Excellent interview. I identify with both women, specially because I am a professional woman and have been there !
You both are awesome... all the best to both of U
Why as an editor of a main channel conduct an important debate from an area (in Kashmir) when it’s well known that Internet connectivity is poor.
It was a brilliant conversation Smita ji.. Sometimes you must bring Dr. Karan Singh.. It will be a great audio treat.. So please bring him in your podcast, it's a benign request to you.. And that conversation should be in ornamental English.. I will wait..Regards.. Jai Hind
Amazing conversation 👌👌👌👍
Beautiful conversation. Very good podcast. Nice adventure Smita.
I have chanced upon your podcasts and seen two.. this one and the one with suhel seth… you are doing a marvellous job of managing your guests…… Since I don’t watch TV nor listen to any debates as a shear waste of time , I did not know who you are , neither Navika kumar… I personally have had terrible time with journalists doing absolutely false stories during my working life and hence branded them all with one brush as complete charlatans…… however listening to Navika on this podcast today has really made me feel good…. She comes off as a wonderful talented and committed person with a passion for what she does… most of all I loved her attitude towards life and the reality check she lives by ….. kudos to both of you ……and God bless
You both are truly the angels of change 🎉❤
The interview with Navika was awesome, thank you Smita Prakash👌😍
Such a wonderful podcast. It's very difficult to say which parameter I didn't like - questions, answers (some philosophical), at times personal touch, ....!!
BEAUTIFUL discussion and interview
Super, loved it, great respect for you both 🙏👏👍
Thank you Smita for these podcasts and interviews of the media people. It helps to humanise them and understand their view points too .
Pranam Madam,Classic podcast ! Two sharp minds discussing on every thing under the sun... with breaking all the myths and clearing all doubts ...! about the so called "patrachial" society of India....take a bow great ladies!!!

Navika ji is one of the best journalists I've seen on TV spaces! Has a lot of command on panelists! And makes them speak proper in most of the cases unlike other channels!
Nice to see you both .. Excellent
Very good program. Lots of learning. 💐🙏💐🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Great interview. Loved it.
Fantastic conversation .
❤ you both for your nationalistic approach in Indian journalism that patriotic & nationalistic Hindus want from your personalities.
Loved the frank conversation!
Navika is too honest and down to earth. The interview was a revelation as she is so humble.
Loved this podcast !
So practical and daring.
Agreed to Navika Kumar , there's no prescription of handling your house hold from any other person from outside. Today everyone is "Life Coach". Ridiculous! Thank you @Smita ji for such a candid session. Didn't know Navika ji's witty side before. You two women really talked a lot.👍 😊.
you can never know a person enough! absolutely loved listening to this podcast.
Great Interview ! It is great to see people of your stature being So grounded !!
