MUMBAI: Fox Life is back with the new season of Twist of Taste. The new season will give the viewers a peek into the life of Vikas Khanna in his second home — the United States of America; as he meets iconic chefs and other experts in his field.
The show will air from 15 October every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm.
“We are excited to bring in a new season of Twist of Taste- every season so far has been a viewer favourite, and one of the most popular shows on Fox Life. In line with our vision to bring authentic experiences for our viewers, the new season has been designed to showcase Vikas’s personal journey through America, keeping the theme of experimenting with the local cuisine intact,” said Fox Networks Groups business head Swati Mohan.
The channel and the host will travel across the East Coast of the US giving viewers a glimpse into his own early experiences in New York. While further episodes take them to Boston, Philadephia, Washington D.C., etc and those that inspire Khanna as he samples and twists the varied, vibrant and mouth-watering flavours this multi-cultural country has to offer.
Khanna added, “With Twist of Taste, Fox Life gave me such an enriching opportunity to discover new cultures, unique flavours and new people. But, this season, it really is a new twist – I get to show people My America – my second home, and Fox Life has given me a rare chance to share a side of my life that is so personal to me. My passion about cooking and the experiences from my journey of becoming the chef I am today, I relived these memories and got the chance to be inspired once again. I can’t wait for Fox Life to see it!”
MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
