MX Player becomes the only platform in India to host the most popular and longest running telenovela – ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’
MUMBAI: With its vast library of in-demand content, MX Player has been catering to over 175 Mn Monthly Active Users. Now, the world’s largest local video player and India’s leading streaming platform is stepping up efforts to serve English speaking viewers by acquiring rights to feature one of the most popular and longest running TV show in America – ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’.
As part of its content acquisition deal with BBL Distribution, the show that is watched by around 35 million viewers in over 100 countries will now feature on MX Player, making it the only platform in India to host the show.
Running for over 32 years, The Bold and the Beautiful has made history around the world and is now in India for audiences to binge watch at their convenience on MX Player. The show has completed over 8000 episodes and has remained relevant to its fans and viewers even today. Portraying the lives of the Forrester family and their fashion house, Forrester Creations, it delves into the life of the wealthy family and how love affairs, scandals, and betrayals affect each of the family members and their relationships with each other.
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.
