Honestly, we all miss her, miss her a lot. Palki Di has changed our taste of international news. Thank you @ANI and @Smita Di for inviting Palki Di for the podcast.

Palki’s USP is simplicity. No melodrama, focus on content, easy communication, excellent pronunciation and off course her 1000 watt smile. The whole package is simply very appealing .

I am Mozambican🇲🇿, living in South Africa🇿🇦.... We miss you Palki! 💐👏🏽

[rientoshalom]

I really miss this lady. She is the reason I started watching Wion. You are a great journalist Palki.

[missionpehlapageairholypdf]

She revolutionized the way the world watched news. I read comments from Americans and Australians among many others praising her style of journalism.

Palki Mam, the Queen. She took an Indian Channel to International audience. Hope she will be back. ❤️

[gilbertvalmoria]

[sunnyy]

Even the international audience are missing you in Wion. 😁

[HariPrasad]

Palki is an epitome of beauty with brains, creativity with credibility, empathy with alacrity, professional with profundity

[Kerrylinton]

Palki is so sincere. That's what I love the most about her. She has clarity and seriousness and dedication to her work that is one in a million. I was surprised to hear that she didn't have an elite background and that makes her even more inspirational. I relate to the 'not wanting to create attention' to herself at work. Sadly, this is the truth for most working women. I hope more people will feature she. We have a lot to learn from her.

[chandanapalit]

She is mesmerizing... How wonderfully she explains everything. I can listen to her for hours without any break... I hope she comes back soon... India needs journalist like her where freedom is speech is

[ashishganjoo]

Gravitas with Palki Ma'am was a marvellous I really respect her and her style of journalism...

[shrirangpatil]

This was the first time I heard a journalist discuss media issues rather than outside issues. Extremely informative and gives great insight into today's television news affairs. Would love to see more like these in the future. Please make it happen. It is critical for viewers to understand why television news has evolved in the way it has.

[meilynchan]

I am a latinerican woman living in Quebec, Canada. I found Palki when the Israel war broke out and I was looking for a realistic, impartial, truthful newsmedia as a source of information. It never occurred to me that it would come from India! I love it and it is now the source I go to be well informed about the world. Keep up the good work!

[babaengnakatrickapatid]

[TheKothariamit]

My Team is in the Philippines, I was there in September and was amazed to see 3 Filipinos were fans of Palki .. More Power to you Mam .

[sergeysabestian]

Palki's gravitas show was my favorite and WION is one of the best news broadcaster.

[estrellaleuterio]

[hazeldsouza]
