Zindagi to launch Fawad Khan’s ‘Kuch Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha’ on 1 Feb
MUMBAI: With the month of love around the corner, Zindagi is all set to launch a new show called Kuch Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha (KPKPBT) starring Fawad Khan from 1 February onwards.
The show will be aired from Monday to Saturday at 8 pm.
KPKPBT was originally written by Sameera Fazal and directed by Haissam Hussain. The show was broadcasted on the ARY Digital Network in Pakistan.
The show marks the reunion of the creative team, which was part of Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam, where the trio of Khan, Sanam Baloch and director Hussain has came together in a gripping story set against the backdrop of the pre-independence era.
KPKPBT is a light hearted drama series that revolves around the lives of four pivotal characters – Mujtaba (Khan), Kiran (Baloch), Daniez (Ayesha Khan) and Shamrez (Mikaal Zulfiqar).
The story is about the Mujtaba, a Pakistani computer engineer who dreams of making it big abroad by taking over his uncle’s thriving business and marrying his cousin Daniez. Kuch Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha is an entertaining drama that gives the audiences a glimpse into the lives of immigrants and depicts that grass is not always greener on the other side.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
