Mani Megalai further revealed that despite a career spanning 15 years as an anchor, she never faced such unprofessionalism or immature behavior on any show.
She wrote, "NOTHING is More important than SELF RESPECT ! I strictly follow that in all stages of my life. Even Fame, Money, Profession, Opportunities or Whatever, Never Mind. Everything is Secondary when it comes to Self respect. Hence i walked away from CWC."
"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. Lot of negativity & dominance overshadow the Originality of the show. This s not the same CWC which i used to enjoy working before. So im not part of it anymore," Mani Megalai further added.
