Music India dedicates channel to kids on Children’s Day
MUMBAI: Celebrating Children’s Day, Music India, a 24 hr Hindi music channel plans to dedicate it to kids allowing them to script, present and package all the shows.
The channel promises that on the 14 and 20 November, it would be transformed into a platform that is “for the children, of the children and by the children.”
Special guests Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao (from Vivah) and Shreyas Talpade (from Iqbaal) will brighten up the day for the little ones. Watch the kids take on the stars and pose questions about their childhood and school days, states and official release.
Sending out a message to kids Shahid Kapoor says, “I think childhood is the best time of your life, I’ve had a lot of fun before I took on the responsibilities, and when you are a kid you experience the best time. Have fun enjoy yourself but be a good person.”
Another treat to add to the fun will be brought to viewers on Judwaa hosted by identical twins, Aanya and Manya playing back to back Hindi songs. Music India will thus bring a bouquet of shows on Children’s Day.
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.
