Former Editor-in-chief and CEO of Zee News, Chaudhary joined Aaj Tak as Consulting Editor last week. Through the show, Chaudhary and Aaj Tak plan to reach out to 100 million viewers.
In the build-up to the launch of the show, Aaj Tak had been teasing about its possible name by turning the screen black & white intermittently. Prior to the first episode’s broadcast also, the channel turned black & white for some moments.
The show picked up a lot of traction even before the launch, thanks to its digitally driven campaign that had viewers engaged across various social media. The channel launched a tech-enabled interactive campaign - #AskSudhir. As part of the campaign, Chaudhary asked for ideas for his new show. The campaign attracted over 3 lakh whatsApp messages, 1.2 lakh listens on Twitter Spaces and 75000 Tweets.
