“में करन जोहर नहीं हूँ”. Yuvraj Singh tried his hand at comedy on Sony TV

...on Comedy Circus tomorrow at 9:30 pm

In the first episode of Comedy Circus – Chinchpokli to China, guess who was the celebrity gracing the occasion. Well, it was none other than the most eligible bachelor of the nation…Yuvraj Singh.

Yuvi was accompanied by Ali Asgar for a stand-up performance. Ali played Shah Rukh Khan who has his own talk show and is trying really hard to get Yuvi on his side of the team from Preity Zinta…(remember IPL). But Yuvraj was adamant to remain in Preity’s team. Even the prospect of getting a hug from SRK himself before every match did not get Yuvi to change sides. But it did not end there, Yuvraj went ahead and also said that “mein Karan Johar nahin hoon”.

It was definitely not a first of sorts only for Yuvraj , it was also the first time Ashutosh Kaushik took to stand-up comedy with Shweta Tiwari. It was for the segment Ram Milaye Jodi where famous television celebrities come together for a stand-up act.

A myriad of emotions and situations come together from Balaji Telefilms’ on NDTV Imagine

... from January 19th 2009

NDTV Imagine will debut two back-to-back new shows from Balaji Telefilms. This exciting new time-band will kick start with ‘Bandini’ at 10:00 p.m. followed by ‘Kitani Mohabbat Hai’ at 10:30 p.m. and will air Monday-Thursday only on NDTV Imagine.

Breaking away from the cult of conventional soaps for the first time ever, Balaji Telefilms presents Bandini, an invigorating tale of a young girl who is forced into a marriage of convenience with an elderly man twice her age. Set in the backdrop of rural India, this narrative vividly traces the journey of Santu and her tryst with destiny.

Love changes people in the most unbelievable way. How far will love take you? Is it strong enough to take up the challenges? Is it deep enough to survive all conflicts? ‘Kitani Mohabbat Hai’ answers these questions in more than one way for Arohi and Arjun, the main protagonists of the show. Two completely opposite individuals, who think and behave differently, come together in this powerful and heart-warming love saga.

I’m very pleased with the line-up of our shows we have created for NDTV Imagine. I am equally excited to be back with a 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. time-band, giving viewers a chance to experience once again, one hour of pure entertainment from Balaji Telefilms on prime-time - Ekta Kapoor

In its own simple way, Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai seeks to re-establish traditional marital ties to strengthen the fabric of Indian society.

The story revolves around Akshara a shy, demure, obedient daughter who has been brought up like a princess in a traditional Marwari family. She has a very protective upbringing and has only experienced relationships that emanate love and protection.

This week on Oye! It’s Friday!, Farhan gets candid with the beautiful Deepika Padukone, chatting about her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, her experience working with the Khiladi Kumar, her favorite yesteryear actresses, her hopes and dreams of settling down and getting married, and of course… Sonam Kapoor! It’s Deepika like you’ve never seen her before, only on Oye! It’s Friday!

His chat with Deepika does not prepare Farhan for what comes next. The hot and steamy, Sherlyn Chopra sets the stage on fire with her sizzling-ly bold performance of Dard-e-Sherlyn and Khawaab Dekhe Jhoothe Moothey.

Rounding up the show is a very special surprise for Farhan – his dad, the renowned lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar, decided to visit him on the sets of Oye! to wish his son for his birthday. Papa Akhtar chats with Deepika and Farhan, revealing many of Farhan’s secrets and the childhood pranks he has played.

"Behind every successful man there's a woman"... The First Ladies on NDTV Good Times.

Every Saturday 10 pm

It is said, behind every successful man there's a woman. It hasn't been made clear exactly how though. Did she drive him up and over the wall, forcing him to escape to greener pastures? Did she make him run away and get a life? Or was she the little voice in the background, telling him to make something of his life or she wouldn't stick around?

Please welcome the legally wedded better halves of India's top men. The wives who sustain, inspire and of course benefit from, the exalted status and heady success of their super-achiever husbands.

The conversation is conducted by glam world insiders and star designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. They meet the wives, and get them talking about love and life, find out what their day is like, what makes them tick and even put their skills to the test in studio. Gauri Khan, Nita Ambani, Suzanne Roshan and ten others sit, talk, joke, laugh and be themselves on this all new show.
