Chhattisgarh, Apr 9 (Agencies) Surpreet Kaur, 28, is a news reader at Chhattisgarh's private IBC-24 channel. Surpreet did not know that she would have to read the news of her husband's death on TV.

Surpreet read the breaking news of her husband's death in a road accident yet she did not let her emotions come in between.

Surpreet Kaur maintained her calm during Saturday morning's live news bulletin as a reporter called to give in details of a fatal accident involving a Renault Duster car at Pithara in Mahasamund district earlier in the day.

The reporter told that three of the five people travelling in a Renault Duster were dead. Although, the reporter could not identity the dead.

After receiving the information, Surpreet could figure out that it might be her husband who lost his life in the road accident since he was also to travel in a Renault Duster on the same route, around the same time, along with four companions.

"She is an extremely brave lady. We are proud of her as an anchor, but what happened today has left us in shock,"Hindustan Times quoted one of her colleagues.

"She got a sense that it was her husband's vehicle. She read the bulletin and only when she came out of the studio, she started calling her relatives," HT quoted a senior editor.
The editor said the staffers had come to know that her husband was dead while she was reading the news. "But we did not tell her. We did not have the courage," the editor explained.
