Lopamudra Sinha, a news anchor at Doordarshan Kolkata branch, never imagined that she would faint while live reading the news. In a video shared on her Facebook account, Sinha narrated how the teleprompter suddenly disappeared and she lost consciousness.

"The teleprompter disappeared and I fainted, I fell off my chair," he said, quoted from NDTV. Prior to the incident, Sinha felt unwell and dehydrated. However, he never felt the need to drink water for years while working as a news anchor. But on the day of the incident, he felt extremely dehydrated even after asking for water. Fortunately, he managed to drink water before fainting, although there were still some delayed news."

"I have never brought a water bottle. Whether it's a fifteen-minute or half-hour broadcast, I have never felt the need to take a sip of water during a 21-year career. However, I feel thirsty even after 15 minutes. When the TV shows visuals instead of my face, I point to the floor manager and ask for a bottle of water," he said. When reading news about heatwaves, Sinha's speech began to become unclear, and he struggled to finish his reading."

However, the incident happened at the right time, when the television program was airing an animation. With the help of some colleagues, Sinha received assistance when he fainted. "While reading the heatwave story, my speech started to become unclear. I tried to finish my presentation. The teleprompter started to look blurry and I fainted. But luckily, it happened when a 30 to 40-second animation was playing on television. At that moment, I fell off my chair," Sinha said.
