Renowned television anchor Manimegalai recently stopped hosting the popular Tamil cooking-based reality show Cooku with Comali due to a dispute with “another female anchor” (Priyanka Deshpande). Taking to her Instagram handle on Sunday, Manimegalai penned a long note and revealed how the other person completely dominated her. Posting a picture from a pooja ceremony on the show, she announced, “Not a part of Cook With Comali anymore. With utmost sincerity, honesty, & dedication, I always give my 100% effort & hard work in whichever programme I’m committed to. Same with CWC Since 2019 Nov, where the journey of the stress buster show began.” ‘Bigg Boss Tamil 8’ Promo: Host Vijay Sethupathi Ready To Inject Fresh Energy and Unveil Unexpected Twists in the Reality Show (Watch Video).
Manimegalai Confirms Her Exit From ‘Cooku With Comali’
Speaking about how self-respect always remains her top priority, Manimegaai explained that she would trade it even with money, fame or opportunities. Further explaining her sudden exit from the show, she wrote, “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 ill always raise voice for whatever is right for me & i don’t care about anybody.”

She said, “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.
