Teen Taal strikes a live note in Lucknow with its 125th episode
MUMBAI: When Teen Taal talks, India listens and this time, Lucknow gets the front-row seat. Aaj Tak Radio and the chart-topping Hindi podcast is taking its wit and banter offline for a landmark live recording of its 125th episode of Season 2 on Saturday, 4th October 2025. After a roaring success with its 100th episode celebration in Pune which pulled in crowds including fans from abroad, the trio is ready to turn the City of Nawabs into a city of laughs. The stage at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan will come alive at 8:00 pm, as satire, storytelling and sharp observations take centre stage.
The dynamic trio Kamlesh Kishore Singh (Tau), Kuldeep Mishra (Sardaar) and Asif Khan (Khan Cha) have built a cult following with their clever mix of everyday humour, cultural commentary and unfiltered conversations. Their live shows promise more than just punchlines: fans can expect candid chats, inside jokes, and that unique chemistry that makes Teen Taal India’s No.1 Hindi podcast.
What makes the event special is the intimacy. Registrations are now open for fans eager to be part of the laughter, stories and surprises woven into this landmark recording. Seats, however, are limited and if the Pune frenzy is anything to go by, the Lucknow evening will be packed to the rafters.
With over two seasons of chart-topping success on Apple Podcasts and beyond, Teen Taal has turned everyday life into a cultural phenomenon. Episode 125 isn’t just a milestone; it’s a celebration of conversations that resonate far beyond the airwaves.
So, as the countdown begins, one thing’s certain: in Lucknow, the mic will drop, but the laughs will keep echoing.

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.
