Rajni Kaul, Indian media personality known for being the first broadcaster to have read the BBC‘s Hindi bulletin, has passed away in New Delhi, reports confirmed Wednesday. She was 93 and is survived by her daughter.
Though famous for her association with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), for whose Hindi department she was a pioneering force not just as a newsreader but also as their first staffer around six decades ago, Kaul had a vibrant career with stints at several other leading broadcast houses, both national and international.
She lent her voice to All India Radio (AIR) in Delhi, India and thereafter to the Voice of America (VOA) in Washington, United States.
