Bzinga to bring its first ever hindi show on Zee TV
Mumbai: Bzinga, a product engagement and discovery platform, is preparing to introduce its exciting gaming platform to Hindi audiences through a brand new Zee TV show, Bzinga. The show aims to bring families together, celebrate their dreams and passions, and offer them an opportunity to compete and win amazing prizes. The show will be aired on Zee TV, every Sunday at 5 p.m. and will feature an interactive combination of the big screen and a mobile application. A viewer can also win prizes by playing along from their mobile application while watching the TV show.
Bzinga is all poised to expand its wings and bring the experience of celebrating life, relationships and humanity to its Hindi audiences.
Bzinga CBO Samir Gupta added, “At Bzinga, we take pride in celebrating the human spirit of achievements. Our goal has always been to develop a platform that is not only exciting and entertaining but also gives our users a sense of accomplishment. The Hindi show is a manifestation of the positive response we have received so far, and we are only committed to building on this journey and celebrating lives across languages and markets.”
Actor Kavin Dave and actress Sunita Rajwar have been roped in to anchor the first season. While both the actors have been successfully enthralling their audiences with their impeccable screen performances, Bzinga would be their first anchoring stint together.
Dave shared, “My journey as an actor has been very fruitful, and I cannot thank my audience enough for their love and support. I hope that I do justice to this amazing opportunity in my new stint as an anchor. It will be really exciting to share the stage with an artist of Sunita ji’s caliber. The format of the show is extremely engaging and I am sure that the audiences would love it!”
Rajwar added, “My stint at the National School of Drama made me love the stage and the live audience. You are at your vulnerable best under the spotlight. I have worked with Zee before, and am extremely excited for this opportunity with Bzinga. I have never anchored a full fledged show, but with Kavin by my side, this ride is sure to be an exhilarating one!”
