Who Am I: Subhash Chandra show comes back in a new avatar
MUMBAI: After a successful initial run, one of the India’s popular motivational youth shows, Dr. Subhash Chandra (DSC) Show is returning with a fresh look and format.
Evolving from a straight-forward chat show, the new episodes will highlight inspirational stories of people from different backgrounds. While it was Chandra who vehemently tried to motivate and change many lives in the earlier format, going ahead the DSC Show will introduce audiences to the stories of India’s unsung heroes who overcame hurdles in their lives through courage and determination.
The first episode (on the ground) was held on 18 April at Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Management, Rohini, in New Delhi during which MP, Rajya Sabha and chairman, Essel Group and ZEE Chandra shared his insights on the topic ‘Who Am I?”. The special guests for this episode were Earth Saviours Foundation founder Ravi Kalra and popularly known as the ‘No Honking Man of India’ and Saachi Roy,India’s youngest woman to have been selected for an expedition to Mount Everest by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and also the first from the country to reach Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest peak.
Sharing his views on the topic ‘Who Am I?’, Chandra said, “As we journey through life, we tend to give ourselves different identities such as son, daughter, student or teacher. But we are a son or daughter because we have parents, students because we are studying in a school or college, and teachers because we are imparting knowledge to others. Thus everything that we believe in dependent on something else and is not our true identity. The only thing which is independent of everything else is our ‘Inner Consciousness’ which is the sensation of being alive and aware.”
Elaborating further, Chandra said, “While our thoughts, emotions and environment change, this Inner Consciousness never changes. By teaching ourselves to be aware of and immersed in this consciousness, we can calm our mind and slow our flow of thoughts, thus utilizing its power more effectively. As we harness this power, we will also experience freedom from anxiety and worry, inner strength, peace of mind and happiness.”
Catch the curtain-raiser episode of the Dr. Subhash Chandra Show on 6 May followed by the first episode – ‘Who Am I?” on 13 May on the following channels of Zee Media:

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.
