With a fresh face, Zee News will gain unmatched trust level and its viewers will get ​​a fresh and unique perspective in the analysis of each news piece on the show.”

“The show will have only one angle which is a common man’s angle. And Sourabh will become the voice of the common man with DNA,” added Ojha. “Simplifying the big news in simple manner for our viewers is the USP of DNA and Sourabh’s connect with the common man will make the show a common man’s show.”

Ojha said that DNA has touched several milestones and set new benchmarks in terms of TRP and it will contine to remain a credible show through unbiased news coverage.
