Mani Megalai further revealed that despite a career spanning 15 years as an anchor, she never faced such unprofessionalism or immature behavior on any show.
She wrote, “NOTHING is More important than SELF RESPECT ! I strictly follow that in all stages of my life. Even Fame, Money, Profession, Opportunities or Whatever, Never Mind. Everything is Secondary when it comes to Self respect. Hence i walked away from CWC.”
“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. This s not the same CWC which i used to enjoy working before. So im not part of it anymore,” Mani Megalai further added.

Randeep Hooda is unbothered by all the negativity around him and doesn’t care about the social media murmurs at all. Recently while speaking at India Today Mind Rocks 2024 Youth Summit, the Highway actor was asked about the impact of boycott culture on movie releases and Hooda asserted that any popularity is a good popularity for showbiz runners.
According to Randeep Hooda, the concerning part is when no one is talking about you not when in some or the other way you’re making headlines. He added, “But that should not also be a case of just creating sensationalism. Boycott culture is a social media hoax.

The Cocktail actor kept the facts straight saying that the only reason why audiences’ would not watch a film is because they didn’t find the trailer appealing. It’s either the trailer or someone’s favorite actor that brings them to the theatre and no other force can resist it. “It has nothing to do with this boycott culture. I don’t care about it at all. I have been canceled many times. I am here bro,” Randeep Hooda added.
