Rajani Varrier, a senior television journalist, has completed nearly 25 years in the media industry, reflecting on a journey that began unexpectedly and evolved into a career defined by responsibility, learning, and resilience.

Her entry into journalism dates back to March 2001, when, while preparing for her second-year postgraduate examinations, she unexpectedly cleared the written test, interview, and screen test at Kairali TV. What began as an unplanned opportunity soon turned into a defining career path.

She spent 11 years at Kairali before moving to Asianet in April 2012, where she continues to work. Over time, she also pursued a diploma in journalism to strengthen her professional foundation.

Varrier said that although journalism quickly became her passion in the early years, the passage of time, changing circumstances, and personal experiences have reshaped that outlook. She noted that continuing with the same intensity of passion may not.
