*Mr. Amitabh Bachchan Explores India’s Space Journey with Skyroot Aerospace Founders on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18*
*XX August 2026, Mumbai* : The Independence Day special episode on *Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18* takes viewers on a journey beyond the quiz as *Skyroot Aerospace* co-founders *Pawan Chandana* and *Naga Bharath Daka* join *Mr. Amitabh Bachchan sir* on the hot seat. The special episode sees the veteran actor get curious about rockets, space travel and India’s growing private space sector.
For Pawan Chandana, appearing on KBC was also a special full circle moment. Sharing his experience, he wrote, _“From watching Kaun Banega Crorepati as a kid to being on the show—it felt a little surreal. Grateful to be part of KBC’s special Independence Day episode with the legendary Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.”_
The conversation also gives viewers a glimpse into what *Skyroot Aerospace* does. Explaining the company in an easy-to-understand manner, Pawan Chandana draws an interesting comparison, describing Skyroot as the _“space ka taxi”_, just as people use a taxi to get somewhere, rockets help transport satellites into orbit.
The appearance comes at a significant time for India’s private space ecosystem. Skyroot Aerospace was behind *Vikram-1*, which successfully reached orbit on its very first attempt, marking a significant milestone for India’s growing private space sector.
Through the conversation, *Kaun Banega Crorepati 18* once again brings knowledge beyond the traditional quiz format, connecting viewers with Indians who are contributing to the country’s scientific and technological progress.

Sony LIV gets Sunil Grover to tackle cricket’s biggest workplace problem
~‘Har Screen Par Cricket, Sony Ke Saath’ takes a comic look at what happens when a packed cricket calendar collides with the working day~
Campaign Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Db-GTQEof9k/?igsh=YzlqbHh5b2ZraGJ0
Press Release:
Mumbai, 13th Aug 2026: Meetings, deadlines, targets, and four months of India cricket.
Sony LIV has brought Sunil Grover on board for its new campaign, Har Screen Par Cricket, Sony Ke Saath, which finds humour in a problem familiar to offices across the country: getting any work done when India is playing.
Grover plays a rather unforgiving corporate boss who summons his employees to address what he believes is the biggest threat facing the company over the next four months. What follows is an extreme solution that is unlikely to go down well with cricket fans.
The campaign comes from a very Indian habit: when there is a match on, one eye is on work and the other on the score. Whether at home, in office or on the move, viewers can follow the cricket across screens on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV.
The cricket calendar begins with India's tour of Sri Lanka from August 15, moving on to the DP World Women's Asia Cup 2026, featuring the high-voltage India vs Pakistan clash on September 5. The line-up also includes India and Pakistan cricket at the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026 from September 17 and India’s tour of New Zealand from October 22.

challenges, student showcases and felicitations, creating a vibrant platform
for young talent to learn, participate and express themselves.
The
programme opened with a Welcome, Introduction & Felicitation, recognizing

Manish", encouraging students to interpret design through their own
creative lens. The challenge offered a hands-on opportunity to experiment,
innovate and showcase their unique sense of style.
Commenting on the
interaction with the students, Manish Malhotra said:
“For
me, the most meaningful way of giving back is by giving my time, experience and
perspective to the next generation.” It’s about meeting young students,
interacting with them, and understanding how they think. I’ve been associated
with NIF Global for several years now, and every interaction with Gen Z
students through NIF Global is incredibly enriching. It’s wonderful to be here
at the NIF Global Borivali campus, engaging with such bright and creative
minds. Guiding them, encouraging them and reassuring them that they can achieve
their goals is something I truly believe in. I feel every artist—whether a
director, actor or designer—has a responsibility to inspire, guide and give
back to the next generation.”
The energy of the afternoon continued with an engaging and lively
interaction moderated by Tisha Khosla, Author and Creative Educator, NIF
Global Corporate, bringing spontaneity, warmth and entertainment to the
programme. The conversation encouraged students to participate freely, ask
questions and share their perspectives, adding a fun and informal dimension to
their interaction with the fashion icon.
The spotlight then shifted to the Student Work Exhibition &
Interaction, where students showcased their creative work and engaged in
meaningful conversations around their ideas, inspirations and creative
processes. The exhibition celebrated the talent, individuality and imagination
of NIF Global’s young designers, offering Manish Malhotra an opportunity to
interact with and appreciate their work. The showcase concluded with
photographs capturing the memorable moments from the interaction and

plays a vital role in shaping the future of young creative professionals.
Interactions with icons such as Manish Malhotra provide students with
invaluable insights, inspiration and confidence. Our aim has always been to
create opportunities that allow students to learn directly from industry
leaders and gain an edge even before they step into the professional world.”
Under the leadership of
Tanbeer Bhatia, Monty Bhatia and Mita Agrawal, NIF Global Borivali and South
Mumbai have continued to focus on creating industry-connected learning
experiences that encourage creativity, confidence and professional growth among
aspiring designers.
The
