Legendary media personality and radio presenter Fareed Khimani has announced his resignation from Capital FM.
The resignation marked the end of his stint at the media house that spanned several years dating back to mid-2000’s with a break before returning to the station in 2019.
The media personality revealed that he struggled with the decision to quit for weeks.
He appreciated his fans and colleagues who made his stay at Capital FM an incredible experience from start to finish.
"It was what I always wanted to do. And I did it. It was incredible from start to finish. When I was asked to come back in 2019, I didn't even hesitate. I have loved every minute of it. But like all good things, even this one had to come to an end.
“As I tendered my resignation, I wrestled with the decision for weeks. It wasn't easy, but it felt right. Thank you @swimbohouse for my first shot and to @chriskirubi for inviting me back. To you the listeners and this incredible group of talented folks I worked with throughout my journey.” Khimani wrote.
“A special shoutout to @soni.side.up for being such a fun and authentic co-host. It was extremely short but had such a profound impact on my career. The seat and the mic are now open...." He added.
