Enjoy Super Sundays on Star Gold with “The Khelkars” this VIVO IPL
MUMBAI: Every Sunday, engaging all members of the family through the lens of a comic household discussion, TV stars Sandeep Anand and Sucheta Khanna, along with little young superstars Vishesh Bansal, Gauransh Sharma and Divyansh Dwivedi will entertain viewers with an exclusive feed – Super Funday. With all the cricketing action and excitement that fans will witness this VIVO IPL 2019, Star Gold has added the element of family entertainment to cricket.
With a witty take on all things from sports news to cricketing anecdotes, the Khelkar’s will entertain guests to comic enactments, dance, music and lots more. Every week, on the couch will be a mix of cricketing experts and celebrities engaging audiences to a laughter riot like never before.
The show’s spotlight are the kids’ hilarious interactions with the experts and celebrity guests. Showcasing their talented reporting and interviewing skills, the bacha party will bring viewers a delightful experience. The light-hearted Super Funday show with these kids will undoubtedly set the tone for the Sunday matches.
On the opening day of the VIVO IPL 2019, the first special guests for the week were the ensemble cast of the much-awaited film Kalank, featuring Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sonakshi Sinha who engaged in some cricketing humour with Star Sports Expert Irfaan Pathan. Showing their love for the VIVO IPL 2019, the cast were excited to try the much-talked about AI Coach; Varun scored 26% accuracy in Rohit Sharma's hook shot, whereas Sonakshi beat him in Dhoni's Helicopter shot with 31%. When asked who according to them was the 'First Class Player of the Season', they unanimously agreed on Rohit Sharma from Mumbai Indians.
Soon after, on the first Sunday of the tournament, Star Sports Expert Virender Sehwag showcased his humorous avtar on Super Funday where he discussed cricket, players and the upcoming matches with children who were bowled over by the legend’s wittiness and knowledge. The show highlighted the upcoming headers – Kolkata Knight Riders v/s Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians v/s Delhi Capitals.
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.
