MTV Music Awards surf back to Miami
MUMBAI: The 2005 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) will return to Miami in the sunshine state of Florida for the second year in a row. The 22nd edition of the show will take place at the American Airlines Arena on 28 August.
MTV Networks president Van Toffler said, “Miami radiates an energy that was clearly visible in last year’s show–the arrivals by yacht, the six different stages, the countless amazing performances, and much more. The support from the local community really made the decision to return to Miami an easy one for us.
“The mayors, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, the local community leaders, the American Airlines Arena, and especially the South Floridian fans have made the VMAs and MTV feel at home in Miami.”
Miami played host and backdrop to the 2004 VMAs. This was the first time in the 21 year history of the show it has been broadcast from a city other than New York or Los Angeles. OutKast and Jay-Z topped the list of winners with four Moon Men each.

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.
