Navratri, Durga Puja, Dussehra and Diwali are virtually here! Festivities and celebrations have commenced in the tone and vibe of everybody I come across, they’re on the airwaves and all around us too. A contagious happiness is slowly spreading and I love it. This time of the year is particularly wonderful for us given it’s also that time of the year that were wholly absorbed in the exhilarating preparations of The 14th Indian Television Academy (ITA) Awards. The ITA Awards 2014 are fast approaching and we’re super encouraged, totally enthusiastic, absolutely elated and positively exhausted, all at the same time. It’s going to be great show!

THE ITA AWARDS 2014 … India’s most credible TV Award Show has once again received staggering support from the Industry in particular & community at large. The enormous number of entries, the nominations, the online voters, the award recipients, the print media, TV & online coverage, and the viewing audiences worldwide is growing by the minute. We’re overwhelmed, to say the least and so very grateful. Details of the spectacular event will be carried in our next issue so watch this space for the thrill of it all.

Moving on, much significant stuff has taken place on the airwaves this past month. On Colors “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa” satisfactorily exited making way for the fiery, divisive & sometimes scandalous “Bigg Boss - Season 8”. The contestant seems mix is a bit incongruous this time but we’ll have to wait and watch, who knows, they too might just have an addictive effect on viewers as in the past. Good luck to all!

The other reality show creating a buzz of sorts these days is “Dare To Dance” on Life OK channel. A distinctive and an interesting format on Dare to Dance has undeniably taken the benchmarks of dance shows a notch up, to another level. 


Zee TV has launched yet another new show “Bandhan… Saari Umar Humein Sang Rehna Hai”. The show explores a rather unique attachment between a little girl and a newborn elephant calf.

Star Plus too has a new one to offer… Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Everest”. An inspirational story of a girl child who fights against the odds and successfully breaks all glass ceilings & conquers unsurpassed heights.

Sony Pal’s recently launched show “Simply Baatein with Raveena” has been heartily accepted by audiences. It’s wonderful to see the ladies in the audience taking notes as Raveena’s guests offer valuable advice that most housewife could definitely use.
Judging from the delightful promos, Sony TV has a cute one coming up too “Itti Si Khushi” . All in all, achhe din seemed to have arrived on the desi telly waves for sure.
Sab TV starts the ever loved Antakshri with Annu Kapoor..

On that cheerful note, it’s ta-ta for now. Happy holidays and wish you & your families a wonderful and very prosperous Diwali. Until next time, happy reading!
