ID launches a new love crime series Forbidden: Dying for Love
MUMBAI: Investigation Discovery (ID), a part of Discovery network, is launching a new crime series Forbidden: Dying for love. The show will showcase terrifying stories of forbidden love on weekends at 7 PM and a special premier on May 9.. ID is the network’s channel programming real life crimes and miseries of people.
Forbidden: Dying for love will feature love stories that are considered taboo in the society — such as a priest falling in love with a nun. It will show people crossing boundaries. The series will explore criminal facets of love, the real life tales of crimes in love relationships.
The channel says that each episode will deep dive into the life of these psychic lovers who will be seen challenging all the forces of society and nature to get what they want. It will follow strange and disturbing cases that will leave everyone stunned. Viewers will witness stories where lovers will be seen breaking religious conventions, against all the laws of the society, for the sake of love and how it culminates into crime.
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.
