Aaj Tak has finally found a new host for its flagship talk show Seedhi Baat. The speculations were on rife about the future of the talk show after the departure of Prabhu Chawla from the India Today Group last week.

The new Editorial Director of India Today Group M.J. Akbar is all set to don a new hat of a host of Hindi talk show Seedhi Baat. M.J. Akbar is recording his first episode of Hindi talk show Seedhi Baat today with senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyer.

Seedhi Baat is known for its fearless and grilling approach and the outgoing host Prabhu Chawla was awarded as the best talk show host for Seedhi Baat by Indian Television Academy.

In September, India Today Group was restructured when M.J. Akbar joined as Editorial Director and Prabhu Chawla was eased out and was made Editor, Language. Last week Prabhu Chawla parted ways with India Today group and joined The New Indian Express as Editor.
