Listen to Story Tamil television presenter Manimegalai announced her decision to quit the cooking-based reality show, Cooku With Comali Season 5, recently. She blamed a senior anchor, who is presently a contestant - a cook - on the show. Though Manimegalai didn't name the cook, fans were quick enough to point out that she was talking about Priyanka Deshpande, one of the leading anchors in television space.
In a detailed note, she wrote, "Not a part of Cook With Comali anymore. With utmost sincerity , honest & dedication i always give all my 100 per cent of efforts & hard work in whichever programme im committed to. Same with CWC Since 2019 Nov, where the journey of the Stress buster show began (sic).
" She mentioned that her self respect was more important than fame and money. Manimegalai reasoned out that the ongoing fifth season is dominated by a 'senior anchor, who was actually supposed to be a cook of the show'. Here's the post: A post shared by Mani Megalai (@iammanimegalai) She wrote, "This season was completely dominated by another female anchor, especially in Anchors Part, who was actually supposed to be a COOK of the show, but she often forgets that & deliberately interrupts alot in Anchor portions by not letting me to do the job.
Even asking for our rights & raising a concern becomes as an offence in this season. But ill always raise voice for whatever is right for me & i don’t care about anybody. Lot of negativity & dominance overshadow the Originality of the show.
