Ajay Devgn Turns Narrator for Shatak, says 'Being the voice that narrates this story is truly an honour'

Ajay Devgn Turns Narrator for Shatak, says 'Being the voice that narrates this story is truly an honour' The makers of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh have unveiled the film’s much-awaited trailer, powerfully narrated by Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn, whose iconic voice adds depth, scale, and emotion to the stirring first glimpse. Rooted in themes of sacrifice, resilience, and nation-first values, the trailer traces a century-long journey inspired by Guruji M. S. Golwalkar Ji’s words on the Sangh’s enduring spirit. Drawing from documented sources, the film aims to present a perspective on the untold chapters of history, symbolised through the powerful imagery of the Bhagwa. Sharing his thoughts on being associated with the film, Ajay Devgn said, “Congratulations to the RSS on completing one hundred years. A century is not merely a milestone in time — it represents generations of commitment, sacrifice, and contribution towards nation-building. Over these hundred years, the Sangh has played a significant role in shaping conversations around service, unity, and cultural identity. Shatak seeks to shed light on that long and layered journey. For me, being the voice that narrates this story is truly an honour. This is not just the story of an organisation, but of an idea — one that endured challenges and continued to stand firm with the passage of time. Lending my voice to a narrative that speaks of resilience, belief, and collective purpose has been a meaningful experience.” Made in association with Panorama, produced by Vir Kapur, directed by Ashish Mall and co-produced by Ashish Tiwari, Shatak releases nationwide on 20 February 2026. ---------------------------------------------------

This week &TV is all set to raise the entertainment stakes with a thrilling week packed with supernatural shocks, emotional drama, and comedy across Gharwali Pedwali, and Happu Ki Ultan Paltan. The biggest highlight comes from Gharwali Pedwali, where a sacred Kuldevi temple ritual turns into a nightmare when Jeetu is forced to choose between duty and love, and a single moment of sindoor threatens to change everyone’s fate. About Gharwali Pedwali, Priyamvada Kant aka Latika shares, “Mahant ji takes the Panday family to perform Tulsi pheras, unaware that Latika’s (Priyamvada Kant) dark presence has followed them. Bhootnath Baba immediately recognizes Latika and desperately tries to stop her by drawing a protective circle, but she ignores his warning and moves ahead. As pheras begin, Jeetu (Paras Arora) overhears the confrontation and hurriedly completes the ritual. Shock follows when Latika stands beside Jeetu during the ceremony, and chaos erupts as Geeta (Geeta Bisht) pulls her away. Cleverly hiding her identity with a fake name, Latika earns suhag and blessings from the family, leaving Bhootnath Baba deeply worried. Emotions explode when Jeetu confronts Latika, only for Bhootnath Baba to cast a powerful spell on her. Torn by guilt and responsibility, Jeetu commits the unthinkable he fills Latika’s mang with sindoor, a moment witnessed by a devastated Savi (Seerat Kapoor). As secrets unravel, Savi walks away towards the Ganga ghat, while Latika refuses to disappear, turning into smoke and secretly entering Jeetu’s house, threatening him to remove the spell.” About Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, Geetanjali Mishra aka Rajesh shares, “Happu Singh’s (Yogesh Tripathi) family excitedly plans a Manali trip.

TV Celebrates ‘India’s Love Language’ This Valentine’s Day ~Bridging the emotional gap by celebrating how men communicate love through subtle, everyday gestures~ National, February 2026: &TV has always stood for entertainment that reflects the everyday lives of Indian audiences- stories rooted in warmth, humour, and emotional familiarity. This Valentine’s Day, the channel takes that philosophy beyond television with a thoughtful brand-led initiative that celebrates how love is truly expressed in Indian households. Titled ‘India ka Love Language’, the campaign is built on a powerful cultural insight: in India, love is often understated. Especially among men, affection is rarely verbalised or expressed. Instead, it is conveyed through small, meaningful gestures, silent support, routine care, shared humour, and actions that speak louder than words. Through this initiative, &TV bridges this emotional gap, encouraging people, particularly men- to express love in simple, tangible ways. To bring this thought alive, &TV rolled out an on-ground activation across Delhi, where a rose became a simple yet powerful symbol of love, seamlessly integrated into everyday moments. Rather than loud declarations or performative romance, the initiative focused on creating a gentle nudge, prompting individuals to pass on the rose to someone who matters to them. Designed to feel organic and intimate, the gesture reinforced the idea that love does not need an occasion or grand expression to be meaningful. At the heart of this initiative lies Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0, a show that perfectly embodies &TV’s brand ethos. Known for its playful humour, the show captures relationships where affection is expressed through banter, everyday interactions, and unspoken understanding. This is why the message, “Aapke pyaar ke liye ek anokha tohfa – Sahi pakde hain!”, fits seamlessly, making the show a natural extension of the campaign’s thought. Speaking about the initiative, Kaveri Das, Chief Channel Officer, &TV and Business Head – Hindi, ZEE5, shared, “At &TV, we believe the most powerful stories are the ones that mirror real life. Love, in our culture, is often quiet, especially when it comes from men who may not always express it in words. Through this Valentine’s Day initiative, we wanted to celebrate that silent affection and encourage people to acknowledge it. Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0 reflects this beautifully, where relationships thrive on humour, warmth, and everyday gestures rather than grand declarations. This campaign is our way of extending that familiar emotion beyond the screen and into people’s lives.” Celebrate love the Indian way this Valentine’s Day with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0—only on &TV and ZEE5.

John Mayer delivers a spellbinding India debut in Mumbai, blending emotion and musical brilliance

John Mayer delivers a spellbinding India debut in Mumbai, blending emotion and musical brilliance National, February 11, 2026: Mumbai witnessed a cultural milestone as seven-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist John Mayer took the stage for his long-awaited, first-ever performance in India. Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, Mayer’s debut in the country unfolded as an evocative evening that blended virtuosic musicianship with quiet intimacy, forging an unmistakable and deeply personal connection between the artist and his audience. The evening began with Abdon Mech, the Nagaland-born folk-leaning artist who has captured attention across India and beyond with his soulful songwriting and blend of pop-indie sensibilities, took over the stage performing songs like ‘Aria’, ‘Give Me My Soul Back’ and ‘Taking My Heart’. Soon after, Tejas, the indie singer-songwriter mesmerised the audience with tracks such as ‘Kiss From A Rose’, ‘I’m Not Missing You At All’ and ‘Ruby’ as the sun dipped below the horizon setting the tone for an unforgettable night before John Mayer’s headline set. As John Mayer stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere transformed into one of hushed anticipation and awe. With his guitar slung effortlessly across his shoulder and a calm, assured presence, he drew the audience into a shared, almost reverential stillness. As the first notes rang out, the energy became instantly palpable, a charge that lingered through every chord and lyric that followed. What followed was a performance that reflected the spirit he brings to the world’s biggest stages - soulful, technically brilliant and deeply human. Addressing the fans in Mumbai, Mayer said, “Mumbai, it’s good to see you! Thank you for waiting a couple of weeks longer and thank you for making it, I love you” prompting an immediate wave of cheers and applause from the crowd, as the venue lit up with whistles, claps and an outpouring of affection for him. Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer - Live Events, BookMyShow, said, “John Mayer’s music has shaped listening habits across generations in India, becoming part of people’s most personal moments over the years. Seeing that connection come alive on stage in Mumbai transformed it into a powerful collective experience. His India debut marks a cultural milestone for the live music ecosystem. For us, creating platforms where global artistry meets deeply engaged Indian audiences is what continues to define the future of live entertainment in the country.” Mayer’s setlist traced the full arc of his celebrated career, seamlessly weaving together timeless favourites like ‘Gravity’, ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’, ‘Love On The Weekend’, ‘Waiting on the World to Change’ among others. Each song felt thoughtfully curated, not merely to showcase his technical mastery, but to honour the emotional connection he has cultivated with audiences worldwide and, now, with fans in India. True to his celebrated global shows, Mayer delivered not just a concert but an experience. He moved seamlessly between blistering guitar solos and quiet, soul-bearing moments that left the crowd visibly moved. Fans sang along to some tracks and erupted in applause for others, suspended between nostalgia and the thrill of witnessing something rare. In classic John Mayer style, he closed the distance between stage and audience speaking candidly, smiling knowingly and letting the music lead. By the time he reached his most loved melodies, thousands of voices joined in, turning the racecourse into one unified choir. As the final notes drifted into the Mumbai night and the crowd rose in a sea of glowing phone lights and thunderous applause, it was evident that something truly special had unfolded. John Mayer’s India debut was more than a long-awaited concert, it became an iconic chapter in the city’s live music story, a night where every lyric felt personal, every melody powerful and every moment deeply shared.
