Radio Mirchi launches ‘Bade Log Badi Baatein’
Mumbai: Following the interview with President Abdul Kalam on Republic day, Radio Mirchi will now air a special series of interviews on their show ‘Bade Log Badi Baatein’. The show has been created as a national property to be aired across all its network FM stations.
Personalities such as Sri Sri Ravishankar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sunil Gavaskar, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle amongst others will be heard on the show.
‘Bade Log Badi Baatein’ will feature important personalities who have achieved the best in their fields in the last 50 – 60 years. These famous faces would get up close & personal with their fans through the radio station, share-interesting anecdotes from their lives, their philosophy and outlook in general towards things and situations; and more importantly, details related to how India has changed since their childhood.
The show will be aired on Radio Mirchi every Monday from 9 to 10 am across Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Jaipur, Indore, Ahmedabad and Pune.
Radio Mirchi has already featured interviews with the former Chief Justice of India Y K Sabharwal and spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
