DIBANG "Crisp and stern, that’s him. For a minute, you’d think he’s bland. No smiles, please. Wait a minute, there’s more to this front man of Aaj Tak. It’s his insatiable energy for news that makes him fearlessly aggressive on air. Professionally, he’s rated amongst the best Hindi anchors in the industry today. He’s made an impression on rural India, subtly. “It’s about making a connection with the viewers,” says 34-year-old Dibang. Of course, his surname remains a secret. “I’m more popular in Rai Bareilly than in Delhi.” Camera shy? “Never, I even acted in an Italian film by Italo Spinnelli.” Difficult moment? “When my colleagues Ranjan Jha and cameraman Gopal Singh Bisht died in a plane crash along with Congress leader Madhav Rao Scindia. I got really emotional on air.” His flirtation with TV began when SP Singh asked him to join Aaj Tak." from The Times of India
