I would hope that it is not an obstacle also given my experience in this industry. 'It means a huge amount to me as well because I am very proud of my accent.

'I went to boarding school in the UK which is what did this to my accent but people say to me "when can you get back on TV because it's so distinctive we automatically know it's you, if we are not even watching or preparing the dinner or whatever, we know it's you" and I think that is a really valuable thing. 'I get told on a multiple times, daily basis, "oh my God, we love your accent" where's that from and ordinary people love it which is great, fantastic. 'I am not going to deny that there have been issues surrounding my accent and I cannot say that I have experienced this at any time, anywhere in any country other than since moving to this country and this is my country, so it's been a little difficult,' she said. 'I am up for any broadcaster, commercial or public,' she told Daily Mail Australia, while admitting there may be a problem with that plan. The 40-year-old enjoyed a successful six-year stint at CNN International in Hong Kong but the lure of working in her homeland proved too much in early 2013 and she signed with SBS to host Dateline.īut now, almost two years later, she believes another challenge beckons.
Rao also told Daily Mail Australia rumours she left the show because of cuts announced to the ABC and SBS were untrue, but said: 'I might be doing them a favour by leaving'. Former SBS Dateline presenter Anjali Rao has broken her silence about why she quit her role hosting the respected current affairs show saying she needed a new challenge, but fears she may struggle to land a 'dream' role because of her distinctive British accent.
