According to media industry sources, Rubika Liyaquat will host primetime shows on News18 India. She will also take on the role of Managing Editor of News18 Rajasthan, leading the channel's editorial operations and content strategy.

Rubika's return to Network18 is significant because she previously served as a consulting editor and prime time anchor for News18 India. During her previous tenure, she led special programs and coverage of major political and national issues, establishing herself as one of the channel's leading faces.

Now, Network18 has once again given her a significant national role. With News18 India's return to prime time, she will once again engage with viewers across the country. She will also take on regional journalism and editorial leadership roles by taking charge of the group's News18 Rajasthan.

This Rajasthan-related responsibility is special for Rubika Liyaquat. Originally from Udaipur, Rajasthan, Rubika has carved a niche for herself in national media during her nearly two-decade career. Now, leading News18, a channel based in her home state, is considered a significant milestone in her career.

Before returning to Network18, Rubika Liyaquat served as Senior Executive Editor at Times Now Navbharat. She was also given the additional responsibility of Vice President (Special Projects). She recently ended her tenure at Times Now Navbharat. Since then, there has been speculation about her next move in the media industry. Now, with her return to Network18, these discussions have come to an end.

Rubika Liyaquat began her journalistic career with Live India. She subsequently held key roles at leading media outlets such as News24, Zee News, ABP News, News18 India, Bharat24, and Times Now Navbharat. With extensive experience spanning reporting, anchoring, and editorial leadership, Rubika Liyaquat will once again serve in a key role across both Network18's national and regional platforms.

While she will be the national face of News18 India's prime time audience, she will also assume editorial leadership of the channel as Managing Editor of News18 Rajasthan. Many congratulations and best wishes to Rubika Liyaquat for her new stint at Network18.
