MUMBAI: Bollywood channel Zoom has combined forces with Philips to offer its audiences some exotic food delicacies from India in an eight-part series called Philips AirFryer Thank God it’s Fryday Energized by Ravin.
The show that will air every Friday, 8 pm onwards, will see chef Ranveer Brar travelling to six bustling cities in India, while visiting the city’s favourite eateries and some welcoming local households to see if they can make the healthier choice with the new Philips AirFryer.
Times Television Network MD and CEO MK Anand said, “Keeping pace with ever evolving preferences of our viewers this eight-part series aims to provide exclusive and entertaining content that resonates with our audience. In Philips Airfryer Thank God it’s Fryday Energized by Ravin we will bring to our audience, content, that matters in their daily life as well as a sneak peek into the eating habits of Bollywood celebrities and their choice of food”.
Philips Domestic Appliances marketing director Gulbahar Taurani commented, “We’re very excited to work with Zoom on this project and put together this eight part series. The channel caters to an extensive target audience and we hope that this new exciting show will help educate the viewers and spread the message of a living a healthier lifestyle without necessarily compromising on taste”
Chef Ranveer will visit Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Pune, Chandigarh and Jaipur to demonstrate and engage audiences and homemakers to make a healthy choice and highlights the benefits of cooking fried food in Philips Airfryer as it uses 80 per cent less oil compared to the conventional fried cooking methods in India.
When you think of Bollywood, fried food is not something that first comes to mind but we all have pet peeves. Even the face of healthy living, Kareena Kapoor loves the occasional slice of pizza or a paratha for breakfast. With ‘Philips Airfryer, Thank God It’s Fryday Energized by Ravin’, Zoom ventures into new territory with Bollywood celebrities and their craving for fried food.
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.
