Manimegalai has recently quit the popular hit Tamil language cooking show Cooku with Comali. The star host shared the news on Instagram through a long post. The first season premiered in 2019 and the show is currently on Season 5. But a major twits came when Manimegalai shared the news of her exit. She also justified the reason behind it. The anchor revealed that another female anchor who was supposed to be a contestant overshadowed her job. She further alleged that her co-anchor often used to interrupt her during the scenes. Manimegalai highlighted the hard work she has done over the years for this show. 

In an Instagram post, Manimegalai wrote “Not a Part of Cook With Comali anymore. With utmost Sincerity , Honest & Dedication i always give all my 100% of efforts & Hard work in whichever programme im committed to. Same with CWC Since 2019 Nov, where the journey of the Stress buster show began. But 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.”

The anchor continued, “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.”

“I have been in this field since 2010, this s my 15th year as an Anchor. Had ups & downs but never experienced such immature behaviours. But i still Wish only the best to the Person who did this to me. May god bless her with More Shows & Opportunities so that others will not be Suffered. LIVE & LET LIVE. And makkaley, i wil ll always cherish all memories of our favourite Cook with Comali & im glad that i have worked with most professional production team from Season 1 to Season Thanks for all the love Chottiiiii’s,” she added. 

Manimegalai gained popularity by working in shows like Franka Sollatta, Freeya Vidu, Hot Seat, and Black. She also appeared in Irandam Kuththu, Viduthalai Part 1, Dada, Irandam Kuththu, Asuran, Kaalidas and Maayavan to name a few.
