NEW DELHI: Highlighting a major transition in the Indian television news landscape, senior journalist and prime-time anchor Shivangi Thakur has officially resigned from Zee News. Prior to her exit, she was serving as the Assistant Editor and was recognized as one of the prominent editorial faces driving the network’s prime-time programming and major field deployments.
Thakur’s departure brings an end to a highly impactful stint with the Hindi news channel, where she anchored flagship bulletins and spearheaded key news segments. Her next professional destination remains unannounced.
A Decade of High-Risk Field Journalism

Notably, she has reported from the frontlines of three major international conflicts, including high-risk, on-ground assignments covering the Russia-Ukraine War and the Hamas-Israel Conflict, earning widespread recognition for delivering hard-hitting journalism from high-intensity war zones.
Broad Industry Footprint
Beyond international reporting, Thakur has spent the last decade tracking major domestic developments, ranging from high-stakes political campaigns and crime investigations to natural disasters across India.
Before anchoring at Zee News, she held key editorial and reporting roles with several of the country’s top-tier Hindi television networks, including:
-
Aaj Tak and India Today Group
-
News18 India
-
TV9 Network
Her exit marks another high-profile movement in the senior editorial tiers of the Indian broadcasting industry, leaving industry watchers watchful of her upcoming media assignment.
