India, buckle up for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
MUMBAI: India is set to witness the fascinating world of Boo Boo family and their hijinks in TLC’s new series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The international hit series will bring an inside look into the world of beauty pageant queen and reality star Honey Boo Boo aka Alana Thompson. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will make its debut on Indian television on 17 January, Friday-Sunday at 10 pm on TLC.
Featured as one of the ‘Most Influential Women in TV’ under 30 years, Honey Boo Boo, in the new series, will showcase her antics along with her mom June, dad Sugar Bear, three older sisters and uncle Poodle at the family home in McIntyre, Georgia.
“Over the years TLC has entertained Indian audience with its eclectic programmes and wide variety presented through unique formats, hosts and themes. We are expanding our offering by bringing the international hit series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo to Indian television screen this January,” said Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific senior VP and general manager – South Asia and head of revenue, pan-regional ad sales and southeast Asia Rahul Johri.
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo follows the charming eight-year-old Alana and her family in rural Georgia doing what they do best: four-wheeling through mud pits and picking up road kill for the family cookout. Alana’s amusing personality and self-confidence has won millions of viewers across the world and her self-proclaimed nickname has become a fixture in pop culture.
From family outings to loud and crazy family get-togethers, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo aims at taking the viewers off the pageant stage and into the unapologetically outrageous family life of the Honey Boo Boo clan.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
