Matching kids’ energy levels
Sivaangi is known for her high-energy performances, but hosting Naanum Rowdy Dhaan has been a different ball game.
“When I compare my energy with kids, mine is actually less! So, I need to increase my energy. That’s why I make sure to work out before every shoot. For exercise, breathing, and stamina—it all helps me keep up with them!” she shared.

First reaction to hosting the show

Unpredictable and funny moments on set
Hosting a show with kids means expecting the unexpected, and Sivaangi has had her fair share of hilarious moments.
“Oh, absolutely! There were so many funny incidents. Sometimes, the kids would take over the show, make up their own rules, and I’d just have to go along with it! One time, a kid started imitating me, and I couldn’t stop laughing. These little surprises make the show even more special.”

Difference between being a contestant and a host
Having been a contestant on Cook with Comali, Sivaangi knows both sides of reality TV. “Being a contestant means focusing on yourself, but as a host, you have to ensure the entire show runs smoothly. With kids, you can’t predict anything, so I have to be ready for anything! It’s a whole new experience, and I’m learning so much.”

Preparing for the role
Sivaangi took a unique approach to preparing for the show. “Honestly, I didn’t prepare in a specific way. I just reminded myself to be patient and to enjoy the process. I also watched a few kids’ shows to see how hosts interact with them. But once I was on set, the kids themselves became my best teachers!”

Behind-the-scenes pranks and fun
The mischievous kids have kept Sivaangi on her toes. “Oh, there were so many pranks! The kids would gang up on me and come up with all sorts of tricks. One day, they all decided to answer my questions with nonsense words just to see how I’d react. It was pure chaos but in the best way possible!”
