Life OK, India's fastest growing Hindi General Entertainment Channel is ready with a differentiated love story, Tumhari Paakhi. The show premieres on 11th November at 9.30 PM.

Based on legendary writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's popular novel 'Navvidhan', the show explores the intricacies of human relationships and the delicate yet complex bond of love. The story is about the handsome but selfish and powerful businessman from Shimla, Anshuman (Iqbal Khan) and pretty but simple and good natured tourist guide from Chittor, Paakhi (Shraadha Arya). The two were married in their childhood; while Paakhi is waiting for Anshuman to acknowledge the relationship, Anshuman on the other hand is unaware of the relationship. As circumstances force Anshuman to go to Paakhi, will destiny play its part and get them closer? Or will Anshuman and Paakhi walk their separate ways, away from each other?

Commenting on the launch, Ajit Thakur, General Manager, Life OK, says," We at Life OK believe in introducing and building characters that every individual can relate to. We believe in every day heroes standing against the tide, battling situations on the basis of resilient values. The show is inspired from Sarat Chandra's renowned novel Navvidhan, and we are going to bring it alive in the viewer's drawing room. With Tumhari Paakhi, we are innovating and venturing into a whole new genre of general entertainment, book inspired fiction. We are confident that Anshuman and Paakhi will become household names among the audiences soon."

High hopes for ‘Satyamev Jayate 2’

With a tagline that reads: ‘Jinhe Desh Ki Fikar Hai’, season two promises hard-hitting content like before but the format will be different.

Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content. Our weekday prime time has 11 shows out of which almost 5 to 6 are in the top ten every week. So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."

The tussle over live cricket scores

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports. But if you look at the current crop of digital sports service companies, it has been a huge regressive step backwards, because essentially you’re trying to describe a match through text commentary."
