Star One to launch weekly show ‘Kadvee Khatti Meethi’ on 23 Oct
MUMBAI: Arriving fresh on Star One this October, Kadvee Khatti Meethi, is the new weekly show that takes off where Tu Tu Main Main left off. Returning with its sterling star cast with new additions to the family, the episodes present half an hour of non-stop comedy and dhamaal every week.
Directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar, the show launches on Monday, 23 October at 8 pm on Star One.
Moving away from traditional comedies, Kadvee Khatti Meethi deals with the chaos emerging between the three generations of women who are at constant loggerheads with one another. Saas Bhi kabhi bahu thi… the bitter truth in every woman’s life comes true with the jubilant ‘nak chadi’ Supriya Pilgaonkar in this brand new comedy. A twist to the tale – Supriya now essays the role of a daughter-in-law to Rima Lagoo and a mother-in-law to a new entrant on the show – Sucheta Pawshe. Sandwiched between the two, Supriya does not know whether to dictate or hear the dictum!
The principal characters of the show are Rima (Rima Lagoo), Rukmini (Supriya Pilgaonkar) and the new bahu – Madhu (Sucheta Pawashe). Noted television actors Ali Asgar and Swapnil Joshi join the stupendous star cast essaying the roles of Karan (Madhu’s husband) and Arjun (Karan’s brother) respectively, informs an official release.
Announcing the launch of Kadvee Khatti Meethi, Star India EVP Content Deepak Segal said, “Tu Tu Main Main was an extremely successful show and we are very pleased to bring to our viewers on Star One in its brand new avtaar. Star One has redefined the genre of comedy on Indian television with shows like Naya Office Office, The Comedy Show, Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai, Instant Khichdi and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in the prime-time band. The launch of Kadvee Khatti Meethi is in keeping with this tradition. Our aim is bring a big smile on our audience’s faces.”

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
