If you have been watching TV news (really?), you know Times Now anchor Navika Kumar loves reading WhatsApp chats of actors.
Case in point 1.

Now, this has led to an overwhelming fear in the minds of Indians. You know, what if Navika Kumar gets her hands on our conversations and starts reading them out on primetime news?
I, for one, have nothing to worry about. Because the only person who texts me is my mom and she just sends recipes of gravies that work for both chicken and paneer.
But it is amusing to watch Navika do this day in and day out (amusing being the operative word) and the internet has a lot of opinions about it.
Navika Kumar is the only Journalist whose Journalism is based on Whatsapp msgs & Chats.

The best joke of 2020 so far has been Navika kumar saying we cant show you the number coz we respect the person’s privacy and then continue to read their entire whatsapp chat on the big screen

When is @WhatsApp going to add a third tick to our chats to indicate, ‘Read by Navika’?

Hi. Planning to change phones. Do I keep a Google Drive backup of my WhatsApp chats or will Navika do it for me?

Whoever you are I will read your whatsaap chat and tell everything to everyone – Navika

All whatsapp chats are group chats with Navika Kumar as the silent group member.

Navika, if you are reading my chats, can you please reply on the family group on my behalf? Mujhse nahin hota.
