History TV18 brings back OMG! Yeh Mera India by Krushna Abhishek
MUMBAI: History TV18 is set to enthrall the audiences once again with the third season of its most celebrated show OMG! Yeh Mera India starting Thursday 29 June, 2017 at 8PM. The show has witnessed two successful seasons and has brought forth awe-inspiring stories from across India. The show will continue to be hosted by comedy king Krushna Abhishek.
The third season will showcase yet another set of unique stories from across India like an orphanage for animals like leopards, jackals, crocodile and porcupines; a barber who cuts and styles hair by igniting it with a gas lighter, a physically challenged ace-cyclist and many others. The 10 part series promises to enthrall audiences as it has in the past.
The stories are as inspiring as they are difficult to believe. From a 68 year old man who practices yoga everyday on cliff edges, to a passionate “clownselor” helping recuperating children in hospitals, to free Wi-Fi offered to people disposing thrash responsibly, these bizarre stories offer a unique window into an India that never fails to amaze.
Excited about the third season, Krushna Abhishek said, “The journey with History TV18 and OMG! Yeh Mera India has been incredible. It is one of my favourite show and is also very close to my heart. With season 3 we continue to show some unique talent across the country.”

National Geographic launches ‘Postcards from Hong Kong’ with Ridhi Dogra
New series explores the city’s hidden gems and vibrant contrasts, premiering 28 March.
MUMBAI: Ridhi Dogra just sent a postcard from Hong Kong that’s worth framing because when a bustling metropolis reveals its quiet trails and timeless traditions, even the skyline takes a back seat. National Geographic has unveiled Postcards from Hong Kong, a refreshing travel series hosted and curated by actor Ridhi Dogra. Produced by National Geographic Creative Works in collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the show offers an intimate, Indian traveller’s perspective on one of Asia’s most iconic cities, moving beyond its glittering harbour and skyscrapers to uncover serene beaches, scenic hiking trails and deep cultural traditions.
Across three visually rich episodes, Ridhi journeys through contrasting sides of Hong Kong. The first episode takes her on a quieter path of self-discovery to places like Sai Kung, Big Wave Bay, Dragon’s Back, Tai O, Ngong Ping, Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha. The second episode dives into the city’s energetic side, from the bustling streets of Causeway Bay to Happy Valley Racecourse, Michelin-starred spots and luxury shopping at Landmark.
Ridhi Dogra said, “Being part of Postcards from Hong Kong with Nat Geo was a deeply enriching experience. What I love about this journey is that it goes beyond the obvious; it’s not just about the skyline or the speed of the city but about the stories that live in its quieter corners.”
A National Geographic India spokesperson added, “With Postcards from Hong Kong, we set out to go beyond the familiar and explore the city through a more intimate, human lens.”
Hong Kong Tourism Board director of South Asia Puneet Kumar noted, “Postcards from Hong Kong is a reflection of meaningful storytelling that brings the city to life in an immersive way. It beautifully captures the diversity and spirit that define Hong Kong.”
Blending travel, culture and personal storytelling, the series celebrates Hong Kong as a city of contrasts where modern life meets tradition and every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. It premieres on 28 March at 8 pm on the National Geographic Channel and will also stream on JioHotstar.
In a world of hurried travel reels, Postcards from Hong Kong slows things down just enough to let viewers truly see the city not just its lights, but its layers, proving that the best souvenirs are the stories you bring home.
