‘MTV Hero Honda Roadies 4’ kicks off its audition round
MUMBAI: MTV India has announced the launch of the audition for the fourth season of MTV Hero Honda Roadies, the adventure-reality show.
The auditions will be held in five cities; Mumbai (6 August), Kolkata (10 August), Chandigarh (13 August), Lucknow (16 August) and Delhi (18 August) where their wits, their guts and their attitude will be put to the test.
MTV Hero Honda Roadies Season 4 will flag off from Kovalam, 16 kms from Thiruvananthapuram on 2 August. The 13 young adventurers will begin the toughest ride of their lives working their way up through Kerala, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and the North East (Meghalaya, Assam, West Bengal, Sikkim) and winding up in Gangtok. That’s almost 8500 kms in 40 days on the sports bike, the Hero Honda Karizma.
This year, the reel-life veteran villain of Bollywood Gulshan Grover will come in at strategic intervals during the trip to do what he does best – make the lives of the finalists even more difficult.
Loosely based on MTV US’ hit reality show Road Rules, MTV Hero Honda Roadies was launched in 2003. The show tests the mettle of a young group traveling cross country on bikes, by exposing them to grueling situations and igniting complex relationship issues. This one-of-a-kind adventure-reality show went on in subsequent seasons to evolve into a true adrenalin junkie’s dream-come-true, informs an official release.
MTV Networks India VP & GM Ashish Patil says, ” MTV Hero Honda Roadies Season 4 is an 8500 km long journey that delivers fame, fortune and freedom. The longest running reality series on Indian television and among the only ones that have grown in popularity, scale and viewership over previous editions, this year Roadies gets even tougher. So if you’re looking for a talent hunt, please don’t tune in, but if it’s a power shot of unlicensed thrills you want… join the ride.”

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
