Zoom Studios launches its second series, ‘Ready 2 Mingle’
MUMBAI: After the resounding success of The Reunion, The Zoom Studios, the original content arm of zoOm styled by Myntra is back with its second series- Ready 2 Mingle. The show which has already captivated the interest of the audiences with its promo is all set to hit the television screens on Saturday, August 11 at 7.30pm on zoOm styled by Myntra & on The Zoom Studios YouTube Channel . Directed by the very talented, Rishabh Seth, the show features the popular actors – Aahana Kumra and Amol Parashar, who will be seen together for the second time.
‘Ready 2 Mingle’ is a series about ‘everyday relationships’ of millennials and the constant search to find their true love. The focus of ‘Ready 2 Mingle’ are the modern-day love gurus Myra and Nirav who, through their exceptional talent of hosting the perfect singles parties, unite those in search of true love. But soon, enough, they start to lose grip on love in their own lives. The show deals with issues that each one of us face in our lives at some point but there is ample amount of fun and frolic that keeps it engaging and breezy.
Myra, played by Aahana Kumra and Nirav, played by Amol Parashar are poster couple who are out to connect singles seeking true love. The two of them have extremely contrasting personalities, Myra being very controlling in nature whereas Nirav is a party animal. But as they say, opposites attract. But the question is, how long can opposites stay together!
Speaking on the new series, Ready 2 Mingle, Nikhil Gandhi, President, Times Network says, “We are excited to launch our second series, Ready 2 Mingle, which is a unique take on relationships of today’s generation and promises a never-before journey of fun, parties and everyday struggles of today’s youth. At Zoom Studios, it is our continuous attempt to offer real, conversational and engaging content that reflects the changing consumption pattern of the youth. I’m sure Ready 2 Mingle will immediately resonate with the audience.”
Director Rishab Seth says, “The feedback to our promo is exceptionally encouraging for the team. The whole concept of ‘Ready 2 Mingle’ is relatable to every single one of us and the cast have played their parts flawlessly, bringing the characters alive. I cannot wait for the show to premiere.”
Aahana Kumra says, “The storyline of ‘Ready 2 Mingle’ is a refreshing take on today’s relationships and I am very excited for the viewers to see what we have to offer. It was great working with such a hardworking team. We have put in our all to put forward a great show and I hope the audience will like it too.”

Mumbai gears up for the ultimate Global Youth Festival this December
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.
