MUMBAI: Hungama, India’s leading digital entertainment company, today launched the second season of its hit original youth comedy, ‘Boys with Toys’. The first season of the show was appreciated by the viewers, receiving over 17 million episodic views since its launch. In its second season, the show will take forward the hilarious misadventures of Adi and Jiggy, its protagonists who find themselves at the helm of running a business that they know nothing about. The show is produced by Viniyard Films, directed by Rahul Aggarwal, and stars Rishab Chadha (Dhrishyam, Lupta), Umang Khanna, Anisa Butt (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Half Girlfriend) along with Abhishek Bajaj (Student of the Year 2).
Starting today, the show will be available to stream on Hungama Play, Hungama’s video on demand platform. Hungama will leverage its robust distribution network to deliver the show to an audience of over 110 million worldwide.

Additionally, Hungama’s association with Xiaomi will enable consumers to watch the show via Hungama Play on Mi TV.
Speaking about the latest original show, Neeraj Roy, Founder and CEO, Hungama Digital Media said, “Hungama Originals have helped us push the boundaries of content available on the digital medium. Locally relevant, yet guaranteed to entertain a global audience, our original shows narrate stories that are unavailable on the traditional medium. We are delighted to launch a new season of Boys with Toys, a show that was loved by a young demographic worldwide. We are certain that our content strategy and distribution network will help us increase our user base by 2X in FY2019.”
Ashvini Yardi, Founder of Viniyard Films and the Producer of Boys with Toys 2 said, “The first season of Boys with Toys received an incredible response from the audience. Season 2 promises to pack in even higher doses of humour and fun. The show is riddled with moments that are sure to make it the perfect weekend watch for the audience. We are certain that the youth, across big and small cities, will enjoy the new season of the show as much as they loved the previous one.”
In the previous season, Adi and Jiggy, unexpectedly receive an unusual inheritance – multiple boxes of sex toys, from Jiggy’s late uncle. Bored at their dead-end jobs, the two boys give up their routine existence for a life of excitement and begin running a sex toy shop – a business that they don’t know anything about.
The new season sees the two boys try and build their business even further. Each new order comes with unique and entertaining complications that they must overcome to make their venture a success, turning their lives into a comic frenzy. At the same time, they must also deal with hysterical situations that arise due to their clueless mothers and grandparents visiting them, potential love interests who don’t turn out to be what they seem and a landlord who just won’t stop being nosy.

MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
