Channel V to air ‘Ishq Unplugged’ from 7 March
MUMBAI: Channel V is planning to launch a new fiction show titled Ishq Unplugged.
The youth show is a love story between two contestants of a singing reality show. Scheduled to release on 7 March 2016, it will air from Monday to Friday at 7:30 pm.
The romance between two completely opposite characters plays out on the backdrop of the reality show, which they want to win for their own reasons.
Main leads of the show are played by Mohit Gaur and Shruti Prakash who essay the roles of Mandy and Antara respectively. Mandy’s character hails from a middle class background from Delhi. Even though he is an exceptional singer, Mandy faces opposition from his family to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a famous singer in the entertainment world. Although Mandy is deserving of success, his notions to achieving stardom is rife with trying any means to get what he wants, by hook or by crook.
Antara, on the other hand, faces a different circumstance. Daughter of a very famous singer, she is also blessed with a beautiful voice. Her Mother wants Antara to follow her footsteps rather than create her own identity. This competition is the stage to launch her career.
Speaking about the show, a Star spokesperson said, “Like dance, music and reality shows are a big pull for the youth; this is the first time we have a fiction show, which is a potent combination of music and romance on the backdrop of a reality show. With a fair share of singing and performances along with drama, this unique offering is going to something fresh for the youth to savour and enjoy.”
The channel has chalked out a marketing strategy to support the show with high decibel promotions across multiple platforms.

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.
