Top 20 Bollywood Television Anchors Of All Times

As we sit on weekend evenings, taking a much needed refreshing break from the everyday dramas on television, the shows on weekend or the award shows are not only good forms of entertainment after a hard day, but they are also a source of good laugh. They have a separate energy altogether, which is hard to be found in television dramas where the daughter-in-laws are continuously crying due to the evil mother-in-laws. The shows are good, because they have good anchors, who not only make the audience laugh, but also bind the entire show together with their antiques and energy.
