Zing introduces short video content series ‘Tiny Tales’
Mumbai: Zing has launched Tiny Tales, a digital-first short-form video content series aimed at gen Z. The first launch is Tiny Tales – Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya on 1 October, which is a heartfelt extension of Zing’s marquee show Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, featuring endearing stories of love, friendship, and much more.
It just takes a moment to fall in love. Staying true to its theme of love, Pal Bhar Mein, Tiny Tales will feature six stories of up to six minutes each, acting as a prelude to an exciting development regarding the channel’s iconic show – Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya.
Tiny Tales – PTKK will be first launched across Zing’s YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram handles and then on television with fresh episodes every weekend for three weeks. Because Zing is all about community, it has been forming tribes under the banner of “#ApniVibeApniTribe.”
The latest one, the PTKK Tribe, has joined the likes of the existing Music Tribe and the Rizing Hallyu Tribe. Tribe members are treated to curated content and exclusive contests, which keeps them highly engaged.
Each of the six stories will revolve around the characters’ finding love in quite unlikely settings. Whether it’s in an office or a hospital, these heart-warming and relatable stories will strike the right chord with gen-Z. The stories will feature a host of fresh and young TV artists such as Richa Rathore, Alisha Praveen, Priyal Gupta, Gaurav Amlani, Aanchal Srivastava, and others.
Commenting on the new series, Zing chief channel officer Arghya Roy Chowdhury shared, “Zing is now home to entertainment that the youth/gen-Z loves. This has been on the back of modern stories in the form of music, movies, and series that celebrate them and their spirit. As a brand that serves the young, we understand the importance of moving ahead with the changing times. Today, our audience is present across a spectrum of mediums to entertain and stay connected. With the launch of Tiny Tales, we are excited to create digital-first content that converges with our repertoire of broadcast content. We look forward to taking Tiny Tales to greater heights with our stellar line-up of content.”
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
