Uday Shankar

Uday Shankar has been writing about entertainment for long enough to have covered industry controversies, legal battles, and more than a few celebrity health scares. He approaches sensitive coverage the way a senior editor should — with restraint, care, and a clear awareness that some stories can cause real harm if handled carelessly. His tone on difficult topics is measured without being sanitized. He reports what can be confirmed, flags what cannot, and doesn't sensationalize what doesn't need it. Readers trust him on the stories other writers overreach on.
