After ‘Garv’, Star Gold lines up ‘Asambhav’s’ sneak peek
MUMBAI: Star Gold’s high seems to continue with the success of the unique ‘Gold Premiere’ of Garv. The channel has now lined up a similar premiere of the new movie set for release on 23 July – Asambhav.
Star Gold will show an exclusive 15 minutes of the movie a day prior to its release, that is 22 July at 8 pm.
Asambhav stars Arjun Rampal, Priyanka Chopra and Naseeruddin Shah. Star Gold has tied up with the film as its official TV partner for television promotions on the channel.
This is the second time now that a full 15 minutes of the film will be screened to give the viewers a chance to sample a film that is yet to be released. The show will be anchored by Dipanita, who is also starring in the film.
Star Gold has also weaved a contest around the film where viewers will not only get a chance to decide what they think of the new film but they can also win tickets for the opening Sunday show by sending an SMS to 7827. The contest is open to viewers in 14 cities.
Another contest that is already on air is the ‘Catch the Gold- Asambhav Contest’ which lets viewers use their imagination to say what according to them is ‘asambhav’ (impossible). The one with the most whacky answer will win a trip to Switzerland for five nights six days for a couple. Viewers can participate by sending ‘Catch’ as an SMS to 7827. The last date for receiving entries for this contest is 23 July.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
