‘Paowan’ on Hungama TV
MUMBAI: The newly launched kids’ channel Hungama TV will showcase a new programme namely Paowan from 29 September. This programme will be beamed as a bi-weekly and air on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm.
The show depicts the story of a horse named ‘Paowan’, who sometimes thinks he’s Shah Rukh Khan, says Mahrru Shaikh, who has written and co-produced the show and is also the creative head of the show, informs the official communique.
She adds that it is a story about a 10 year old boy – Rahul who has a fascination for horses. “It so happened that when he was a child, he lost his father, who was a jockey, in a racing accident and ever since then has been kept away from horses by his mother. But then Paowan enters his life and changes it forever. The two are also joined by Tara, another 10-year-old and a dwarf and together they form a clique which gets onto some Enid Blyton-like adventures. It’s a fun, exciting show,” Mahrru added.
Mahrru says that they have got a trained horse from Pappu Verma, the action director. “We don’t know how, but it behaves as if it were Shah Rukh Khan,” noted the company release. The show is jointly produced by Creative Eye and Mediatrack.

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.
