Channel V’s Ishq Unplugged introduces new video
MUMBAI: The fiction show which launched on 7 March on Channel V this year, promises to be the most unique and interesting concept for the youth who are always mesmerized by the glamour of singing reality shows. The new show aptly titled Ishq Unplugged is a love story between two contestants of a singing reality show. The romance between two completely opposite characters plays out on the backdrop of the singing reality show which they want to win for their own reasons.
Mandy and Antara, the two main leads of the show have definitely stolen the hearts of the youth by their phenomenal singing talent in the show. They continue to do so by the introduction of their new video which went on air on 25 April 2016. The new look of this tune is not only just the title track but also seems to be the new anthem for the young audience.
Since Ishq Unplugged is a music based show, to encapsulate the essence of the show, the music video is created to describe the journey and anxiety of the protagonists in the show, namely Mandy and Antara. Fancy outdoor locations, quirky looks, funky dressing and the incredible band playing are indeed a few more highlights of the track.
Having Mandy and Antara come from very diverse backgrounds and having entirely opposite personalities makes it interesting to see them sing and perform together; turn out of which is a beautiful music video. It shows their love-hate relationship very evidently. All we need to wait and see now is if this new amalgamation of the two leads mount to something more than just co-singing with each other?
Ishq Unplugged airs from Monday to Friday at 7:30pm only on Channel V.
The show is also available on hotstar and the music video is available on the link below:

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.
