NDTV presents ‘What’s Your Choice’ with Prannoy Roy
The character of a nation is often measured by how much each person cares for a fellow citizen. If you see someone in distress, suffering, being bullied or molested – reaching out, do you step out of your comfort zone and help?
We have heard of many cases in which an accident victim, bleeding, lying on the side of the road, reaches out – but nobody stops. Or stories of when a woman is being teased or molested even in a crowded area, nobody intervenes to save the girl.
But bad news, like these examples, tend to hit the headlines, while good news, like when an ordinary Indian does make a choice to intervene, goes unreported. What’s the truth about India?
NDTV’s brand new series ‘What’s Your Choice’ with Prannoy Roy aims to simply to find out: Does India care? And if so, who cares?
And in the final analysis, we will have succeeded if at the end of each show each one of us asks ourselves: Do I care — and do I care enough?
WATCH PRANNOY ROY PRESENT ‘WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE?’ EVERY SATURDAY ON NDTV 24X7 AT 9:30 PM AND SUNDAY AT 12 NOON

Book Cricket gets a digital century on News18 amid T20 fever
Nostalgic classroom game revamped in English, Hindi plus Telugu on web and app.
MUMBAI: When the T20 World Cup fever hits fever pitch, News18 decides to flip the script straight back to the classroom. The digital news platform has revived the timeless schoolyard favourite Book Cricket as an interactive online game, perfectly timed to ride the cricket wave gripping fans across the globe. The reimagined Book Cricket ditches textbooks for smartphones, blending old-school nostalgia with modern gameplay. Once a sneaky recess pastime played by flicking book pages to score runs, the digital version now offers seamless fun for anyone craving a quick cricket fix between overs.
Available in English, Hindi and Telugu (with more languages planned across News18’s network), the game sits within the platform’s fast-growing gaming portfolio of over 20 titles, all built in-house. It joins event-driven hits like ‘Kursi Catcher’ and ‘Result Rewind’ during the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections, plus festive specials such as ‘Durga’s Astras’ for Durga Puja and ‘Mouse Modak’ for Ganesh Chaturthi.
News18 Digital CEO Mitul Sangani said, “Gaming is a key pillar of our engagement strategy. At News18, we uniquely combine our newsroom agility with immersive gaming experiences. By blending credible content with interactive formats, we are creating meaningful engagement in an era defined by shrinking attention spans and evolving consumption habits.”
Select titles have expanded beyond News18.com to CNBC-TV18.com and Firstpost.com, reflecting the network’s push to deepen user interaction across platforms. The Book Cricket game is live now at https://www.news18.com/games/book-cricket/.
