B4U’s ‘Tinseltown Live’ set to complete year on air
LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown Entertainment has announced that its top-rated weekly entertainment program, Tinseltown Live, marks its first anniversary next week as the number one program in the South Asian Market.
Tinseltown Live , a behind-the scenes show on Hollywood claims to reach over 500 million viewers’ homes in India and other territories where B4U Network Worldwide reaches. B4U is available in 80 countries, including the US, UK, Europe, India, Pakistan, Middle East, Canada, Mauritius, South Africa, and Australia, a release says.
The half-hour show in English is aimed at the global Bollywood market. Distributed by B4U, Tinseltown was conceived by London-based Sheeraz Hasan. “No Hollywood show has ever aired on an Indian network before we started our program. I saw a void in the market and since I am able to deliver A-list stars every week, B4U gave us prime time positioning,” 28-year-old Hasan is quoted as saying in the release.
Hasan aims to expand Tinseltown beyond the Indian community and has entered Iran. With a host speaking Farsi, Tinseltown airs on NITV, reaching Farsi-speaking viewers in Iran, UK, Europe, US, Canada, and Australia.
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.
