CNBC Awaaz has launched a new debate-based show ‘Takkar’ to be hosted by well-known anchor Amish Devgan. The show – to be aired on weeknights at 9pm – will see Devgan interrogating participants in his inimitable style.

Commenting on the show, Alok Joshi, Managing Editor, CNBC-Awaaz and CNBC-Bajar, said:“The core idea behind ‘Takkar’ is to bring forward a platform that truly addresses issues faced by the common man and gives the people in power a fair opportunity to explain their side of the story.”

Said Devgan:“Healthy debates are one way we can attempt to raise people’s voice and opinions about policies and laws governing our society. ‘Takkar’ is conceived to address these issues and give a chance to our participants to justify their actions.”
