Kajol may be ‘fired’ by Prasar Bharati board

Bollywood actor Kajol may cease to be a member of the Prasar Bharati board for repeatedly missing meetings.

Kajol was appointed a part-time member of the board, which oversees the functioning of public broadcasters All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan, last year.

According to the provisions of the Prasar Bharati Act, members who are absent without taking permission for three consecutive board meetings are understood to have “vacated the office”.

The Information and Broadcasting ministry (I&B) had sent a letter to Prasar Bharati seeking details on whether Kajol had attended recent meetings, sources said.
