MUMBAI: TLC is giving fans a front row seat to the royal event everyone has been waiting for: the nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! On Saturday, May 19, on the D-Day, the network will air must-see wedding programming. As a prelude to live telecast of the Royal Wedding, TLC will showcase ALWAYS & FOREVER (from 11:00 am till 2:30 pm) – a line-up of interesting programming including FABOLOUS CAKES, CAKE BOSS, CANDY QUEEN, SAY YES TO DRESS ASIA & BRIDE BY DESIGN.
The celebration starts on Saturday, May 19 at 2:30 PM IST, with TLC’S ROYAL WEDDING LIVE, a live four-hour feed of the royal wedding. TLC will showcase a repeat telecast of the ROYAL WEDDING starting 1:00 till 5:00 pm on Sunday, May 20. This will be followed by a special show ‘Harry & Meghan Said Yes’ (Highlights of the wedding) starting 6.30 PM. The one hour show will have Six Opinionated Wedding-istas including David Emanuel, Randy Fanoli, Jo Cooke, Alison Law, Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen gawping at the spectacle, gasping at the glamour, gushing at the fashion highs and gagging at the fashion lows.
As a part of special programming, TLC will also premier TLC’S ROYAL WEDDING REVEALED on Friday, May 25 at 8:00 pm. The one-hour special, hosted by Shaun Robinson, will feature TLC wedding and style experts Randy Fenoli, Lori Allen, Monte Durham, George Kotsiopoulos and Hayley Paige as they capture all the details surrounding the ceremony, from the guests to the wedding party, Meghan’s dress, the castle, and any last-minute bloopers. TLC’s wedding panelists will also discuss the life that Meghan is about to enter as she begins a new royal chapter with Prince Harry.
MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
