“Travel helps you to lose yourself; at the same time, it also helps you to find yourself. However, travel does not become adventure unless you leave yourself behind. Feelin’ Alive leverages this strong human emotion and meaningfully engages with the audiences,” said, Discovery Head of Advertising Sales – South Asia Vikram Tanna. “We are delighted that marquee clients like Bajaj, Dominar, Amazon.in, Vivo and Domino’s Pizza have joined us in this journey.”
Everyone who is a travel freak, an adventure seeker or someone in search of the unknown, will find their solace through ‘Feelin Alive’ as the inexperienced but super enthusiastic host Paresh Pahuja travels through the unexplored locales of India in search of incredible extreme sports destinations. In this 5-episode series, which will give viewers a spellbinding view of India’s geographical bounty, Paresh will meet the adventure pioneers who will train him as he seeks to re-discover himself through this revitalizing journey.
As thrilling as it sounds, ‘Feelin’ Alive’ will leave the audience only craving for more of that adrenaline rush as anchor takes up activities like fly boarding, mountain biking, kayaking, kite surfing and even learns to perform some phenomenal bike stunts with the ‘Ghost Ryderz’. While he learns new skills, he’s also able to successfully overcome his fears through this breathtaking series, leaving the viewers feeling refreshed.
MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
