For eight years, anchoring was the backbone of Anupama’s career. She appeared in TV shows and events; gradually she began to find her niche in the fiercely competitive Kannada entertainment industry. Anchoring is so much more than reading a script and presenting a programme. It’s confidence and quick thinking, clear communication, audience participation and response to a situation on stage that comes from an unexpected situation. Anupama’s career is an excellent one, and then it was an opportunity for the audience to get a glimpse of what she appreciated.

She steps down as a professional and, in the process, has ended her career. Television viewers are used to seeing their favourite anchors so often; to leave a job you have held for many years is a huge decision. Anupama’s retirement has so far been discussed by many people at home and at the university, and fans and viewers have watched her career since she got into the industry.

For TV, Anupama was more than a presence in the room, and she was good with guests. She was different from others in the field in that she was personable to talk to; she was in a lively atmosphere but also professional.

In the last few years, the Kannada TV industry has changed dramatically. Reality shows, digital platforms and social media are changing the way in which you are an anchor. Anchors are now expected to be versatile personalities who can communicate with audiences in the television and online mediums. Anupama’s eight years of work had been at the right time as the world of television was changing, and it was a game in progress for these eight years of work.

Her retirement has also led some fans to recall some of her best moments on TV. She was frequently broadcast on Kannada TV shows and has done very well; we wish her the best in her next step. She is a familiar TV face.

Anupama’s story also reflects on the role of anchors in entertainment. The stars and TV personalities are more familiar, and viewers are more familiar with them. But anchors, too, are the glue that holds the show together, direct guests and lead them to live activities, and are the face of a whole programme. Good anchors can very well influence viewers’ perception of an entire show.

Anupama left behind so much knowledge and memories from eight years in the industry. She has shown that careers in entertainment can differ and moving from one profession doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end of the relationship with that industry. So fans will definitely want to know what she will do next.

Even though her anchoring career is over for her, Anupama’s work on Kannada TV will be remembered by the viewers who have watched her. Her decision to step down after eight years closes a big chapter, and maybe one that will open new frontiers and challenges.

She was a great person to work with, and as she presented herself and her presentation in front of the audience, she was pretty comfortable in her own skin and was well-known to Kannada television reporters. Whatever she does next and what she is working on, her followers who have followed her will still be rooting for her and looking forward to her future.
