TV Newsance Rewind: Ads, anchors and Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav

This week on TV Newsance, we are reunited with our old friends – Gareebdas and Lakkhu – as we take a trip down the memory lane. 

First, we rewind to the COVID era when Gareebdas and Lakkhu come across a very important respite for migrant labourers – government advertisements in newspapers. Because why wouldn’t they read newspapers during the pandemic, when there is death all around and reaching home safely is a privilege?

Then, they move on to explain the key ingredients for celebrating Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav – with some tiranga and a whole lot of rashtravad flavours – because talking about democracy, economy, poverty and hunger is not the way to go, just like our Godi anchors. 

And finally, Gareebdas tells us the ultimate formula to becoming Ameerdas – advertisement money!
