New Delhi: Bloopers on television news are not uncommon, but when you get the name of a visiting head of state wrong, especially if you are the nation’s public broadcaster, trying hard to reinvent itself over the last year, the embarrassment is huge.

Here’s what happened during a late night show on Wednesday night.

While anchoring the late night bulletin on DD News, a ‘casual’ anchor, pronounced Chinese President Xi Jinping’s name as ‘Eleven’ Jinping, obviously confusing Xi with the Roman numerical for eleven.

According to the reports, the inexperienced news anchor, who has since been removed, was put on the show as the main anchors choose not to present the late night broadcasts.

President Xi Jinping, who is on a three-day visit bi-lateral visit to India, has signed 12 key bilateral documents promising India investments worth $30 billion.
