‘Fuzon’ rocks the MTV session
MUMBAI: The crowds had a blast at the MTV studio, last Tuesday. The Pakistani music band Fuzon performed at the MTV Session.
The band reportedly entralled the audience with their blend of eastern classical melodies fused with western rock.
Fuzon debut in the year 2001 with album Saagar with guitarist Shallum (Shallum Asher Xavier) and keyboardist Immu (Imran Momina) as the founding members, says a press release.
Later they included vocalist Shafqat Amanat Ali, son of legendary Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, to their band to create music that appealed to their senses by mixing modern arrangements with traditional melodies. Saagar contains stuff as diverse as the mellow Dooriyan to Mora Saiyaa.
According to the band, “the album is about lost love, pain, inner strength”. Just one album old, hit songs like Mora Saiyaan and breezyTere Bina are making big time hits.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
