Anjana Om Kashyap’s “Jesus Moment” or Just Another Prime-Time Plot Twist?

 

Anjana Om Kashyap’s “Jesus Moment” or Just Another Prime-Time Plot Twist?

So, this morning, a video shows up. Anjana Om Kashyap, once the high priestess of primetime bootlicking, appears to confess: yes, she was bought by the Godi media machine. Yes, she’s been lying to the public for 11 years. Yes, she kissed up to power, covered its mess, and sold propaganda dressed up as journalism. And now, hallelujah, she wants to be reborn.

In Christianity, they call this a “Jesus moment.” In Hinduism, we’ve got the Kumbh bath, a symbolic cleansing of sins. But in Anjana’s case, she’s been so deep in the ideological sewer for so long, it’s less Kumbh and more municipal drain. The gods must have missed a memo, because she’s been stinking up democracy for over a decade.

And now, conveniently, she wants to come clean.

How noble. How timely. How... suspicious.

Because let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t just some spontaneous burst of conscience. This reeks of falling TRPs, fading relevance, and maybe a whisper from the powers-that-be that she’s no longer useful. When a once-untouchable media darling starts singing about the truth, it’s not repentance. It’s a career move.

So, what now, Anjana? You expect a standing ovation for admitting you sold your soul? If this is real, and that video does look legit (watch it here), then don’t just confess. Start naming names.

Will you revisit the lies you helped spread like gospel? Will you expose how elections were rigged in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Delhi? Will you call out the Election Commission for moonlighting as a BJP spokesperson? Will you finally report on the Kashmir failures, the cozying up to Trump, the plane crash in Ahmedabad, and the mountain of corruption your network conveniently ignored?

Because here's the truth: if you're just staging a redemption arc for your ratings, you're not brave. You're just late.

And let’s talk about the media, the “Fourth Pillar of Democracy” that now doubles as a PR agency. This entire industry is rotting from the inside, and Anjana was right there holding the mic and the match. If she’s really ready to speak the truth, she can’t just tiptoe out of the fire she helped light. She needs to burn down the lies with it.

Don’t insult the public with crocodile tears and dramatic close-ups. If you’re sorry, stop performing and start reporting. Otherwise, take your second “Jesus moment,” wrap it in saffron spin, and spare us the sanctimony.

We’ve seen this show before. We’re just not buying the rerun.

Note: Response to AI-generated Video: 

"Yes, you’re probably right, it must be fake. Because if it’s real, then we’re looking at a journalist openly admitting on video to lying to 1.4 billion people for over a decade. That’s not just a career-ending scandal; it’s a confession to defrauding the public, betraying journalistic duty, and enabling state-sponsored propaganda. And people like that don’t just grow a conscience overnight.

But even if the video is AI-generated or manipulated, it still demands investigation, not just into its authenticity, but into who is behind its release. If this came from Anjana’s team or her media network, it reeks of another desperate TRP stunt. A way to fake vulnerability, hijack the news cycle, and rebuild credibility with zero accountability.

And let’s not ignore the timing. While this video spreads, we’ve got an airplane crash barely being covered, and Modi flying off to Canada on a 'forced invite', a diplomatic embarrassment wrapped in conditions he quietly accepted. These are serious stories. But instead, the national conversation is suddenly about Anjana's alleged soul-searching? Convenient. Classic BJP media playbook: create noise, confuse the public, bury the headlines. If this video is a distraction, it’s doing its job beautifully, for them."
