VidUnit rolls out candid new talk show with Rashami Desai
MUMBAI: VidUnit has stepped into the long-form arena with a move that blends star power, storytelling and serious digital ambition. The influencer-first platform has unveiled its first original series, fronted by television favourite Rashami Desai, as it expands from short-burst creator content to full-fledged digital IPs.
The new show, Rashami Ke Dil Se Dil Tak, brings an unscripted and unfiltered flavour to YouTube, leaning into heartfelt conversations and the kind of emotional honesty the internet rarely gets without gloss. Rashami welcomes celebrity couples into an intimate setup where they talk about love, work, health, family and the unsaid bits of life behind the cameras.
It marks Rashami’s first major outing in digital-first long-format storytelling. The show blends warmth with whimsy, switching between tender exchanges and playful compatibility challenges that keep the mood light while uncovering the messy, magic-filled layers of modern relationships.
The opening slate features some of television’s most adored couples including Dipika Kakar Ibrahim and Shoaib Ibrahim, Gauahar Khan and Zaid Darbar, Surbhi Chandna and Karan Sharma, Claudia Ciesla and Arjun Goel, and Neha Bhasin and Sameer Uddin.
Rashami said the concept is deeply personal to her and that VidUnit felt like the right home because the platform understands the pulse of digital audiences. She added that she wanted a space where stories could be shared without judgement or filters and thanked founder Sourabh Kumar and his team for backing her vision.
Sourabh Kumar described the project as the start of VidUnit’s broader plan to build high-impact digital properties rooted in authentic storytelling. He said signing Rashami as its exclusive YouTube talent gives the platform a powerful connection with the Hindi-speaking market and added that the company is building a wider slate of IPs across genres and formats as part of its next growth chapter.
Rashami Ke Dil Se Dil Tak will stream on YouTube soon, promising viewers a front-row seat to candid conversations and the chemistry that keeps these relationships humming.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
