I have worked with Arnab at Times Now and as opposed to what Vasu said, Arnab is exactly the same shouting personality even off the screen. Working with him and taking your job seriously will send you to depression. Fortunately I never took my job seriously and always laughed at his behaviour but many people working directly with him were really disturbed as far as I observed.

[@barnikbardhan2775]

Sure, but he was at Times Now later. There's probably a 10 year gap between the period Vasu is talking about and you working under Arnab. Also adding my wife briefly worked for Arnab, she mirrors Vasu's description. At the same time a cousin who worked for Arnab and corroborates your description. So maybe he changed over time.

@@tiashachakrabortychakra9332 here it means ppl u can count on fingers, just check his biodata, and just observe his reporting , he is one hell of a biased journalist has a serious left bend with most of his investigations revealing something u can predict from the start bcoz of his politics, his father sold out india during nuclear program when he was diplomat. If u even watch his latest report on adani buying mumbai airport from GVK, he runs an agenda against adani, but overlooks why GVk is selling the airport license. As documented GVK being pulled up for monetary fraud by maharashtra govt, but he omits that part as GVK is close to Gandhi's. So u get part of truth in his investigation not the whole.
