When you don't make it to theatre but have to be satisfied with being a reporter

How serious do you think the business of news is? And on that same chain of thought, how serious is the job of reporting a conflict from ground zero?

If you tried to deduce the answers from the clip of a talented reporter from the house of Republic, it's worthy of unintelligible actions, some half-hearted dance moves, which makes for an absolutely bizarre P2C and goes on to show that the talent needs some polishing before she could make it to the theatre or the big screen.

No one is going tough on the reporter, but it's the sheer insensitivity of her reporting style which has made the public lose their calm.

Is there room for such theatrics in the business of news, if you ask the media house Republic Bharat she comes from the answer would probably be yes. Who can forget one of their prized reporters trying to chase a car, like a low-budget version of a film, in Mumbai during the time when investigations into the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged murder case were being shown on channels around India.

Once again, the channel owned by Arnab Goswami has become a laughing stock for netizens with memes being shared on social media. 

Srinivas BV, National President of Indian Youth Congress, took swipe at these theatrics.

Several social media influencers too shared the clips and called out this act as ‘hip-hop journalism. Check out such memes going viral across social media platforms.
