Rashi Vats Day was declared on November 21, 2023 by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner to celebrate the FOX 26 KRIV Houston anchor's 10 years of service with the station.
"When you start talking about the diversity of our city, and not just being diverse but being inclusive," Mayor Turner said. "You have represented this city extremely well. A working mother of two and a proud daughter of a mom she sees as her inspiration. Rashi has put her heart and soul into giving back to Houston through her work and life."
Vats thought she was going to do an interview with Mayor Turner about the end of his final term in office so the "day" was a total surprise.
