Star News encapsulates highs & lows for festive time
Star news claims to have achieved a double whammy on the Masand ki Pasand Diwali special with Lata Mangeshkar and Sushmita Sen being the invitees.
While Lataji would be singing sings her favourite film song on Saturday, 13 November 2004 at 8:30 pm, Sushmita would light up on rumoured affairs, says the release. And an action packed special, Red Alert will feature a half hour special on 'Eunuch Impostors' – boys posing as girls, with civil society counting them amongst the eunuch community, on Saturday, 13 November, 2004 at 11:30 pm.
In the weekend that sees the re-release of K Asif's evergreen epic romance Mughal-e-Azam and Yash Chopra's contemporary cross-border love-story Veer Zaara, Rajeev Masand aims to cash on the topicality by interviewing the voice behind both Madhubala, in Mughal-e-Azam and Preity Zinta in Veer Zaara.
Lata Mangeshkar would be talks about her reputation as a difficult and unapproachable artiste, the Bollywood actresses she feels her voice suits best, and expresses her opinion on the need for cultural exchange between India and Pakistan.
On the other hand no-holds-barred, Masand will have a tete-a-tete with the vivacious Sushmita Sen, who addresses rumours of her alleged affair with a married industrialist and confesses to how she feels about arch rival Aishwarya Rai finding a place at London's Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.
While Red Alert exposes the agony of these fake eunuchs who lead a double life with ironic physical attributes knows no end, says the release.
This community of 'fake eunuchs' was brought under the limelight when one among them, Hemraj, was brutally murdered by two of his colleagues in South Delhi recently, adds the release.

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
