Cooku With Comali Host Manimegalai Quits Show After Priyanka Deshpande 'Takes Over' Anchors Part

Cooku With Comali Controversy: The Tamil reality show has made headlines for a fallout between a contestant and the show host on set. Following the massive spat, the host of the show Manimegalai announced that she had quit as the host. She took to her Instagram account to pen a long note and share the reason behind her decision.

This is not the same CWC that I used to enjoy working with before: Manimegalai

On September 15, Mani Megalai took to her Instagram account to share a series of photos from the sets of the show Cooku With Comali. She shared the photos with a long, lengthy note. She noted, "Not a Part of Cook With Comali anymore. With utmost Sincerity, Honesty & Dedication I always give all my 100% of effort & Hard work in whichever programme im committed to. Same with CWC Since 2019 Nov, where the journey of the Stress Buster show began."

While she did not mention any name, she continued in the caption, “But NOTHING is More important than SELF RESPECT ! I strictly follow that in all stages of my life. Even Fame, Money, Profession, Opportunities or Whatever, Never Mind. Everything is Secondary when it comes to Self-respect. Hence I walked away from CWC.” Mani Megalai added, “This season was completely dominated by another female anchor, especially in Anchors Part, who was actually supposed to be a COOK of the show, but she often forgets that & deliberately interrupts alot in Anchor portions by not letting me to do the Job. Even asking for our rights & raising a concern becomes as an offence in this season. But I'll always raise voice for whatever is right for me & I don’t care about anybody. Lot of negativity & dominance overshadow the Originality of the show. This is not the same CWC that I used to enjoy working with before. So I'm not part of it anymore.”

Had ups & downs but never experienced such immature behaviours: Manimegalai

Manimegalai concluded her caption by writing, “I have been in this field since 2010, this is my 15th year as an Anchor. Had ups & downs but never experienced such immature behaviours. But i still Wish only the best to the Person who did this to me. May god bless her with More Shows & Opportunities so that others will not suffer. LIVE & LET LIVE.”
