Sahara One looks to start a debate with a new series
MUMBAI: As India evolves, so do Indian families. Typically the older generation remains tied to tradition, while the younger generation wants to break away from age old customs and beliefs. People recognise this in their own families. For years, television, that great mirror of society, has focused on the changing dynamic in relationships. Now soon Sahara One will be airing content that will capture evolving relationships between mothers in law and daughters in law who are the linchpins of the Indian family.
The interaction between a mother in law and daughter in law has changed considerably. This leads to them having a difference of opinion that has to be negotiated with great sensitivity and patience. The forthcoming show on Sahara One will weave all this into a story that will have not just entertainment value, but will start a lively debate. Viewers can look forward to a dynamic story line, characters and situations that they can relate to.
Women who watch TV serials want to see women-centric content. This has always been the case. However things are a little different now. They no longer want froth and frivolity; instead they want to watch content that starts a debate and brings subjects that are not openly discussed, into the limelight. And here is where Sahara One is looking to score with their brand new serial set to air soon.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
