Radio Mirchi partners Gaana for content sharing
MUMBAI: This is music to my ears! Gaana is expanding its mix of unique and exclusive audio content by adding Mirchi Murga and Hansi ke Phuwarey, two of Radio Mirchi’s most popular humor shows.
Mirchi Murga with Naved is Radio Mirchi’s most popular comedy segment, having won the best Radio Sparkler Award at Indian Excellence in Radio Awards (ERA 2015). Naved has donned many avatars for years, with his jokes taken sportingly by some (and not so sportingly by others).
“Radio Mirchi’s humor content is some of the best. Gaana is becoming a home for all premium audio content, with millions of listeners starting with music, and finding more and more everyday on the platform,” said Gaana COO Prashan Agarwal.
In addition, Hansi Ke Phuwarey with Sud, by comic Sunil Grover, is a very popular series known for its deadpan humour. Hansi ke phuwarey has Sudarshan aka Sud reading out jokes from a book with the same title (HKPh). On Gaana, a new joke will be released every day, building a daily listening habit.
These two programs are now live on Gaana, and Radio Mirchi and Gaana intend to add more original content soon. These offerings will also be promoted across Radio Mirchi’s 44 radio stations across India.
Along with its extensive music catalog, live radio stations, and other music experiences, Gaana has been expanding its original content library, with over 10 new series. With specials such as Sit Down Comedy with Rajneesh Kapoor, or The Asha Verdict with Asha Bhosle, Gaana’s specials add a new dimension to the product.
“Mirchi has created some very good on-air personalities and in digital media with its RJs. We are happy to have this partnership with Gaana, where Mirchi’s prank calls can now be heard by his global fan base. We expect as much consumption to come outside India as from India as well,” added ENIL (Radio Mirchi) MD and CEO Prashant Pandey.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
