MissMalini Entertainment launches its first studio web series– ‘The Girl Tribe’
MUMBAI: MissMalini Entertainment, India’s leading platform for celebrity, fashion and lifestyle entertainment and a trendsetter in Indian digital media launched its first ever web series called ‘The Girl Tribe’ on June 13th.The 10-episode series is an extension of “Malini’s Girl Tribe”, one of Facebook’s fastest growing and most engaged communities, where women of all ages from college girls to global CEOs partake in meaningful interactions in a safe and supportive space. The show is a natural extension of this community and aims to spark a national conversation amongst men and women alike on topics often judged too taboo for the mainstream media, and yet too pressing to ignore any longer.
Malini Agarwal, the host of the series, will be seen having thought-provoking conversations with strong and eminent personalities from all walks of life, including BuzzFeed India Editor Rega Jha, social activist Trisha Shetty, actresses Sonali Bendre, Sameera Reddy and Richa Chadha, and India’s first transgender model Anjali Lama, among others. Malini will dive deep with these guests into unscripted and candid discussions on heartfelt topics that will resonate with all audiences – trolling, body positivity, mental health, empowerment, acceptance, gender identity, and the changing rules for women. The show will also take time to showcase some incredible stories of female accomplishment and perseverance, through its heroes and warriors segment, developed to inspire viewers to live their very best lives.
Speaking on their first-ever web series, CEO of MissMalini Entertainment, Nowshad Rizwanullah commented, “MissMalini Entertainment has always been at the front lines of Indian digital media, striving to represent the passions and interests of our young audiences. Throughout our evolution from India’s first professional lifestyle blog to a leading multi-platform media network, it has been our single-minded mission to entertain, empower and inspire our peers through the power of content and social media.

We want to encourage people to engage in much-needed conversations in a positive and constructive way, without devolving into insults or sensationalism. We hope that with the impact and the reach of our platform, we will be able to generate the spark that such important topics deserve. “

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
