MTV to roll out ‘Girls On Top’ on 7 March
MUMBAI: Come March and MTV will be rolling out a new show based on girl power and their issues titled Girls on Top. The new show celebrates women and will shatter long standing stereotypes and question the nonsensical taboos surrounding the women in India today.
The show will premiere on 7 March and will be aired from Monday to Friday at at 6:30 pm.
Redefining what it means to be an ideal girl, the show portrays the young Indian girl in her various avatars from a havoc wrecking goddess to a hardworking superwoman; from a devilish diva to a manic pixie dream girl; from a bookish romantic to a tattooed hell-raising disc jockey.
Based on three girls trying to survive in Mumbai, who share an apartment, the show sheds light on the way these girls deal with job, love and domestic issues.
The three leads in the show are Isha played by Saloni Chopra shown as a TV producer, a tabloid journalist Gia played by Barkha Singh, and DJ Revati played by Ayesha Adlakha making their way through life in Mumbai and how they grow stronger together as they face one difficult circumstance after another.
Commenting on the launch of the new show, Viacom18 EVP and business head youth and EEC Ferzad Palia said, “With Girls On Top, we at MTV are all set to take a close look at the lives of three young women trying to make it on their own in Mumbai. The show will focus on their struggles around work, love and life, but at the same time, will also offer viewers an insight into the changing face of Indian women. They’re here to claim what’s theirs – the right to choose a career and a partner, the freedom to express themselves through their work and their style and the independence to live life on their own terms. It’s a show that will resonate with all those young women who have ever dreamed of a life outside the confines of societal norms by breaking stereotypes and questioning taboos. I’m sure our young viewers will fall in love with our three protagonists from MTV Girls On Top because somewhere they’ll find their own story within theirs.”

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.
