‘Dil Beats’ returns with new fourth season on MTV Beats
Mumbai: Hindi music channel MTV Beats is all set to bring back the highly anticipated love show “Dil Beats” for the fourth season.
This new season is named as ‘Unfiltered Love’ and will see popular musician and singer-songwriter sibling-duo Sukriti Kakar and Prakriti Kakar as ‘Love Queens.’ The upcoming season will feature eight love stories that reflect the true spirit of romance, starting 25 May, every Wednesday at 12 noon and 5 p.m.
Supported with a cross-media integrated marketing campaign, MTV Beats’ “Dil Beats: Season 4” will have an array of activities to drive viewer engagement and widen its fan base. Viewers can immerse themselves in the world of Dil Beats Unfiltered Love through interesting activities on Instagram with the hosts. They also stand a chance to win merchandise signed by them by participating in the #BAEmisaalLoveStories contest on Instagram Reels. Sukriti and Prakriti will also touch upon topics that are usually considered relationship red flags, in their segment #BehenSuno on the platform. The upcoming season will also be promoted across Viacom18’s vast network of television channels, said the statement.
The new season will explore love in its various stages and compel viewers to rethink their definition of it. Each love story will be complemented with some of the best love songs, caller-interactive segments, signed merchandise giveaways and personal anecdotes shared by the hosts. The promo for season 4 is already out!
Speaking on the success of the previous seasons and the launch of the upcoming season of “Dil Beats,” Viacom 18 head of youth, music and English entertainment Anshul Ailawadi said, “’Dil Beats’ struck a chord with the audience since its first season, thanks to its unique format and concept, and the viewership has only grown. Season 3 alone reached out to over sixty million viewers across India with engagement levels at an all-time high. Given the show’s popularity and vast fan base, we are certain that the upcoming season of Dil Beats will further cement MTV Beats at the forefront of the Hindi and Bollywood music space.”
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.
