From radio jockeying to television, this live show host is busy juggling tasks

From radio to television, is switching medium a difficult task?

I have been with radio for five years and I have gotten into the flow of things. But TV is new to me. It has a different kind of buzz and it involves greater interaction with the audience.

What is the format of Bindass Live?
This show can best be described as a platform for youth to speak out their minds and voice their grievances. It is a daily show and each episode targets issues like homosexuality, smoking, child rights and many other issues. Every day, we also have artistes from various fields coming on the sets, like DJs, tattoo artists and models.
