B4U Music promoting new talent
B4U Music has completed directing and producing the Desi Boyz' new video Teri Galiyon Mein.
The band's current album is called Desi Boyz.com. The song in question is sung by Zubeen. B4U Music was also involved with the concept as well as executing the innovative idea. The song is a serious "dard bhara" love song but the lyrics take a hilarious look at love and broken hearts.
The song deals with the memories and experience of the frontman Devdas who remembers his good old days with Paro even as he drowns his sorrow with fellow "aashiqs" at "Caf Dard" – a "Desi" Broken Hearts club. This video has an unusual twist at the end.
B4U Music claims to reach over 15 million viewers in India. Earlier the channel had tied up with Indigaana.com and released the album RAW with Milestone, which had tracks of all new artists. B4U Music is trying to give promising talent a break which is often difficult to get. B4U Music is also producing two videos for this album, which are to be shot very soon.
Kalyanasundaram, director – creative and editorial, B4U Music, had these remarks to make: "It gives me immense pleasure to announce that in our very first year of operations we have made a music video for Desi Boyz. This is our way of contributing to the music industry and offering our support to the numerous talented artists out there. Ours is a vision to nurture and promote this industry."
B4U claims that its channels B4U Music and B4U Movies can be viewed in over a 100 countries including the US, UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Mauritius, Canada and Asia through five satellites.

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
