MTV expands ‘Stylecheck’ into a hour-half show
MUMBAI: MTV is in the process of revamping its shows. One of them is MTV Stylecheck. The show which was earlier a three minute snippet is now a half hour show. It will air on Sundays at 5 pm with repeats on Tuedays at 7:30 pm and Fridays at 1 pm.
The show will be hosted by VJ Malaika. The show will cover different avenues like stylish people, food that is the in thing, events as well as songs that have kicked off fashion trends.
The show kicks off with Style Speak. Designers, models, stylists will speak on the manner the business is moving. Expect the likes of Milind Soman, Hemant Trivedi, Manish Malhotra to appear. The Mast Must segment showcases the product of the week which is a person keeping up with the latest fashion trends cannot afford not to have in his/her collection. There is also self service where viewers are shown how they can make attractive accessories like a trendy bag.
As the name suggests Street Smart sees the crew of the show going out on the road and visiting fashionable places. A highlight is Magic Makeover where MTV invites a makeup expert to change the way a selected person looks and feels. The Catwalk to Closet section sees Malaika visiting the wardrobes of celebrities and offering tips on the great places to buy clothes from.
Those into the horoscope thing can check out Fashion Forecast. The section predicts the colour of the month, the accessory to be seen in. The show also visits youth hangouts to find out what they are wearing and the reason for it. .
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
