B4U TV celebrates successful first season of The Meera Gandhi Show
MUMBAI: B4U, one of the world’s leading Bollywood channels with viewership in over 100 countries, held the wrap party for the first season of The Meera Gandhi Show, an inspirational television program that encourages a life full of positivity, spiritual understanding and inner peace. The event, held at the Disney Screening Room, was attended by many of New York City’s notables including Caroline Leiberman, Jaswant Lalwani, Barbara Ellsworth Robbinson, Atif Toor, Aamer Khandwala, Yakub and Shilpa Mathew and Tarik Currimbhoy, amongst others.
Meera Gandhi is an award-winning influencer, humanitarian, philanthropist and founder of The Giving Back Foundation. Her eponymous show’s first season takes viewers on an enlightening journey through such episodes as Revitalization, Freedom, Happiness, Accomplishments, Celebration, Compassion, Creativity and Karma and Destiny. Guests on the show include such doyens as DJ Donna D’Cruz, dancer Jules Bakshi, Academy award winning violinist Tim Fain, Buddhist monk Aria Das, PR guru Rob Goldstone and artists Juan Beral, singer Lara Anderson and rising star Madame Gandhi (who coincidentally is Meera’s daughter).
Kevin Rego, North American Head for B4U, presented the idea for the show after witnessing Meera’s own spiritual journey. Her new lifestyle choices like meditation twice a day, a less hectic travel schedule and a slower, stress free pace was a message that needed to be shared and hence, The Meera Gandhi Show was born. Now, Meera shares her learnings through her mentors, inspiring individuals, music, guided meditation, experiences and recommended reading lists. The takeaway of the show is to discover tools to de-stress and live a more joyful, positive life.
The complete 13-episode first season of The Meera Gandhi Show has aired on B4U TV Network and is available for live streaming at TheMeeraGandhiShow.com, Facebook and VIMEO.
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.
