Popular television anchor Bhavna Balakrishnan has carved a niche for herself over the years hosting several TV shows, while also exploring new avenues as a cricket commentator, playback singer and a dancer. Having hosted shows like Super Singer Junior, Airtel Super Singer, and Jodi No.1 on Vijay Television, Bhavna has also been serving as a commentator and garnered a name as one of the most popular sports journalists in India after Mayanti Langer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup. Recently, Bhavna sat down for a candid conversation with Galatta to talk about her experiences as an anchor and also opened up on her stint on Vijay TV's Jodi No. 1, including the time when she shared the stage with leading Tamil actor Sivakarthikeyan, who was her co-anchor on the hit dance competition reality television show.
Speaking about her time on the reality show, Bhavna explained, "I could not see Sivakarthikeyan as a co-anchor even in Jodi No.1 because he was an entertainer and I was an anchor. So, our roles were very clear. I would produce the content and carry the show forward. He would take care of the entertainment aspects. My job along with Ramya Krishnan would be to get him into the act. These were our roles. And, when the roles are assigned, you will never overlap. And, if there's an emotional moment, Sivakarthikeyan would give me a signal telling me to take care of it. If there's a fun moment, I will step back because whoever can handle it at that point of time, will handle it. It was like that. The only problem I had with Siva was that I would lose my voice because of laughing non-stop. I used to tell myself that I shouldn't lose my voice when we used to anchor. That was during our time together in that one season."
