MUMBAI: India’s leading media and entertainment conglomerate Sri Adhikari Brothers is bringing yet another classic hit show, ‘Galti Kiski,’ based on the book ‘What Went Wrong and Why?, written by super cop and lieutenant governor of Puducherry Kiran Bedi. The show will air on Doordarshan National from 19 May every day at 1 pm.
‘Galti Kiski’ is a real-life narrative based on the book ‘What Went Wrong And Why?, written by the super cop Kiran Bedi. It is a unique compendium of real-life first-hand experiences – candid, poignant, touching and thought-provoking – that will compel peopleto sit up and take notice. A true revelation of social and economic maladies that adversely affect the present-day society and the way one can handle such scenarios and a destination for those who sought help in similar matters. It places these realities for greater appreciation by all those who can play a role in preventing such happenings, and defines the duties to do and the responsibilities to accept
SABGROUP patriarch Markand Adhikari said: “In lieu of our commitment to leverage our content library to Doordarshan, we are glad that ‘Galti Kiski’ which featured the super cop Kiran Bedi is going to air on Doordarshan National, We are willing to do whatever it takes to help our nation stay engaged and keep the momentum going during the lockdown."
Kiran Bedi said: ‘’During my journey as an IPS officer and there on, I always observed the rift between people at different stages of life and most of them were due to simple lack of compassion.This book is all about making an attempt at being fair and human. My mission behind Galti Kiski was simply to save the next victim, it wasn’t to gain publicity or popularity but to forewarn people. I am so honoured to have created a televised version of this with Sri Adhikari Brothers and the fact that it is going to be aired again on Doordarshan National during these grim times. It gives people a chance to introspect and rethink life after lockdown and make this society a better place to live in as one.’’
‘What Went Wrong and Why?’ was adapted in a Hindi version for the book with the same title as the show Galti Kiski.

NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
