Trendz’ new show zooms in on urban Indian nightlife
MUMBAI: Till now it was NDTV’s Night Out which focussed on the hip n’ happening parties in Mumbai and Delhi. Now Zee’s fashion channel Trendz has also ventured into the same arena with their new half hour weekly show called Diabolical.
Diabolical will be a guide to the best hangouts in cities all over the country and will showcase food, fashion, décor, music, celeb clientele with a hope to capture the pulse of urban nightlife – and sometimes daylife too. The show will be anchored by ex-Grasim Mr India Vivan Bhathena.
The word ‘diabolical’ has negative connotations by the book, but could, in contemporary parlance, mean anything from different, dynamic and dangerously cool, to rocking, trendy and bravely hip, and that’s just what the show promises.
Diabolical will be all about partying style and will encase success sagas, stories of small beginnings-happy endings, anecdotes of lucked-out but persevering young entrepreneurs, glimpses of glamour, beauty, passion, grandeur, the good life, the pursuit of pleasure, and the grit behind the gloss!
The show combines a spirit of query with a gathering momentum of fun and is targetted at anyone in the age group of 16-45 years falling in the middle and upper-middle class strata of the society.
The show will feature the likes of club owners, celebrity chefs, restaurateurs, DJ’s, musicians, live acts, architects and designers and will be peppered with trends, critiques, information and style checks.
Diabolic will be presented in segments comprising the profile of a Hot spot, Easy steps, easy learn (‘learn a trade in five to seven easy steps’), Hot event of the week, Style tip, Pan-India trend story and Stylish one. Each episode will be of 22 minutes and has been produced by SOL.

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.
