Influencer Snehil Dixit joins OMTV’s Ramayan Quiz for season two
Mumbai: OMTV, renowned for its culturally enriching content, continues its commitment to impart India’s rich knowledge system to the youth and children. Following the tremendous success of the first season of “The Ramayan Quiz,” a fun and engaging educational program based on the Ramayana, OMTV is thrilled to announce the launch of its second season. Last year’s initiative witnessed overwhelming participation from 12 premium schools across India, including iconic institutions like Don Bosco Mumbai, Delhi Public School, and Scindia School, resulting in an instant hit among students and educators alike across the country.
The upcoming season promises to deliver even richer content and excitement. OMTV has enlisted the participation of Snehil Dixit Mehra, popularly known as the “Berry Cute Aunty” on social media platforms, particularly Instagram. Snehil became an overnight sensation during the pandemic with her viral “Attendance video,” and her infectious energy has earned her a massive following.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the project, Snehil says, “I’m excited to be part of the Ramayan Quiz. This new avenue aligns perfectly with my interests and desire to engage with kids through storytelling. I have never done quiz anchoring although we have been discussing ideas with Nitin as he is my dear friend, but our schedules did not align. This time, everything fell into place. My son is also of a similar age and hearing about this one-of-a-kind quiz makes me hopeful that the kids will learn a lot about our sacred scripture.
We all want to impart the right knowledge to our kids, and OMTV’s storytelling approach is the best way to do it. Now, this new avenue excites me, as it gives me an opportunity to learn more about Ramayan. I’m thrilled to be part of the Ramayan Quiz and eagerly looking forward to my first day of shooting and meeting all the kids.”
Founder Nitin Jai Shukla further emphasised Snehil’s positive attributes stating, “Snehil is a very versatile person and truly an amazing human being. I have known her for a very long time now. She is successful and puts her heart into whatever she does. We at OMTV are committed to reaching out to the future generation with our modern web shows and kids’ content. So, with the Ramayan Quiz, the idea is not just to make kids read Ramayan, but to inculcate its teachings through a fun quiz format. We aim to reach out to kids and help them learn the values of Indian culture in an engaging manner. Snehil will bring in a lot of youthful energy, and she has a special connection with kids. I’m excited to have her on board for this project.”
With a strong focus on combining entertainment and education, OMTV’s Ramayan Quiz is primed to be a flagship program that brings history and culture to life for young learners. The team behind the scenes is excited to collaborate with Snehil Dixit Mehra and create a show that engages, educates, and entertains the kids of India.

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
