Saurabh Dwivedi, one of the most famous faces of the digital media world, is everywhere these days. Ever since the former editor of ‘The Lallantop’ said goodbye to India Today Group, there was only one question in the minds of his fans that what will Saurabh do now? The news of his sudden resignation after a long and successful journalistic journey of 12 years had created a stir in the media world. But now the curtain has been lifted from this suspense and the news is such that it will surprise you.

After journalism, now I am interested in acting

Everyone thought that Saurabh might start a new news channel or digital platform, but he has changed his path. Now it has become clear that Saurabh Dwivedi is not going to be limited to just news. He is soon going to make his acting debut through OTT platform JioHotstar’s new web series ‘Space Gen – Chandrayaan’. This series is based on the historic mission of India which attracted the attention of the whole world.

What is the story of this new series?

This series is the story of India’s ‘Chandrayaan-2’ mission and the struggle of those brave scientists who did not lose courage to win even after coming close to defeat. More than the technical aspects, ‘Space Gen – Chandrayaan’ will show the emotions and human condition of the scientists who felt the pain of losing contact with the lunar surface just 2.1 kilometers away. Saurabh Dwivedi will be seen in a special role in this series produced by TVF (The Viral Fever). Fans will be able to see him in a completely new avatar on January 23, 2026.

The real reason for resignation and the game of timing

Saurabh Dwivedi had ‘shocked’ everyone by suddenly resigning on January 5, 2026. There is talk on social media that his last few shows, which included sharp comments made on Indore water crisis and BCCI, could be the reason for his resignation. However, officially Saurabh has called it his ‘personal journey’ and ‘new beginning’. After his departure, Kuldeep Mishra has now been given the command of ‘Lallantop’. The interesting thing is that the very next day of his resignation i.e. on 6th January, the teaser of his series was released, in which Saurabh’s glimpse can be clearly seen.
