Shashi Tharoor, Priyanka Chaturvedi Turn Hosts For New Parliament Channel

Shashi Tharoor's show will be about conversations with eminent personalities, Priyanka Chaturvedi's programme will have women MPs share their journeys.
They are articulate, erudite and much sought after for their opinions by the media and also others. Now, Opposition MPs Shashi Tharoor and Priyanka Chaturvedi are moving to the other side of the mic as hosts for their own shows on the newly launched Sansad TV.
Politics in all likelihood will be off the table when Congress's Shashi Tharoor hosts "To The Point" and Shiv Sena's Priyanka Chaturvedi anchors "Meri Kahani", both posing questions instead of answering them. While Mr Tharoor's show will be about candid conversations with eminent personalities, Ms Chaturvedi's programme will have women MPs share their journeys.
"I have interviewed actor Michael Douglas and a couple of others for United Nations Television, so I cannot claim to be totally inexperienced as an anchor, but it's a refreshing change to find myself asking the questions rather than answering them!" Mr Tharoor told PTI.
"It is an interesting space to be in as you control the narrative... you can ask the questions you want to from the guests," Ms Chaturvedi added.
