Parina Taneja

With nearly a decade in digital media, Parina Taneja doesn’t just report on the news; she lives for the 'extra' in extraordinary stories. As the Deputy Editor at The Daily Jagran, she leads the non-news verticals- Entertainment and Lifestyle, turning the chaos of the trending world into sharp, editorial storytelling. From the high-octane drama of Bollywood and OTT to the 'juiciest' updates across the Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada industries, if it’s happening on screen, it’s on her radar.

Parina’s career is a star-studded highlight reel, featuring interviews with the likes of Kartik Aaryan, Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadha and Kabir Khan. When she’s not leading the newsroom or managing content strategies, you’ll find her at the frontlines of launch events and press meets. A self-proclaimed 'entertainment junkie,' her pulse beats in sync with K-dramas and BTS tracks (yes, she’s a proud ARMY).

Beyond the glitz, Parina is a seasoned Lifestyle storyteller. Whether she’s exploring the intersection of wellness and fashion, navigating the nuances of safe solo female travel, or tackling the grit of Delhi’s air pollution, she writes with a 'boots-on-the-ground' perspective. She is a firm believer that stories must be told or they die—and she refuses to let a good one go unheard.

A Kamala Nehru College (DU) alumna and a former India TV stalwart of five years, Parina spends her off-hours with her nose buried in a romantic thriller or a suspense novel. On lazier days, it’s a rotation of podcasts, movies, or re-watching FRIENDS for the hundredth time. She’s also a beginner-level Spanish speaker (courtesy of Cervantes), so if you catch her on a good day, she might just say ¡Hola! to your next big story.
