*SET’s Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh Set to Bring Celebrities Out of Their Comfort Zones*

*SET’s Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh Set to Bring Celebrities Out of Their Comfort Zones* *Mumbai: Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh* is set to bring celebrities into an environment where they can step away from their usual public personas and participate in games and activities alongside a live audience. Speaking about what viewers can expect from the show, *Harssh Limbachiyaa* shared that the format will allow celebrities to open up and showcase a different side of themselves. Explaining what he believes audiences will enjoy most, *Harssh Limbachiyaa* said, _"I think audience sab se jyada ye enjoy karegi ki celebrities jo ek shell mein rehte hain, ek zone mein rehte hain, ki nhi yaar kuch celebrities duniya ke saamne khul kar nahin aa paate. Lekin yahan par har celebrity aapko apne zone mai khulte huye dikhenge, jo bhi unke problem honge yaa jo bhi kuch audience hoti hai kuch celebrities hote hai jo duniya ke saamne khul nahin paate, waise yahan par aapko celebrities ekdum khulte hue nazar aayenge. At the same time, jo hamari studio audience hai, woh real audience hai, jinko poore desh mein se invite kar rahe hain. So ek audience aur celebrity ke beech ki jo line thi, woh iss show mein disappear hone wali hai, kyunki audience bhi utna hi mazaa karne wali hai, utne hi games khelne wali hai jitne games celebrities khelne wale hain."_ (I think what the audience will enjoy the most is seeing celebrities step out of the shell or comfort zone they usually stay in. Some celebrities may not be able to open up completely in front of the world, but here, you will see them in their own zone and in a much more natural setting. Whatever their inhibitions may be, you’ll see them enjoying themselves and participating wholeheartedly. At the same time, our studio audience is a real audience, invited from across the country. So, the line between the audience and the celebrities is going to disappear on this show, because the audience will have just as much fun and will play just as many games as the celebrities) With celebrities stepping outside their familiar zones and audience becoming an active part of the games, *Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh* aims to create an environment where the distinction between celebrity and audience participation becomes less defined. The format brings both together through games and entertainment, allowing viewers to see celebrities in a different setting while allowing the audience to be an integral part of the show. The show has seen names like Jannat Zubair, Abhishek Kumar, Akansha Chamola, Karan Patel, and many more _*Tune in to Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh, starting 24th August, Monday to Friday at 8:00 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.*_

Award-Winning Lyricist Ginny Diwan on her Mirzapur journey from 3 seasons of the show to Mirzapur: The Movie, “Returning for the film felt like coming back to a world I know well” Award-winning lyricist Ginny Diwan returns to the much-loved Mirzapur universe with ‘Vaaroon Forever’, featured in ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ in both its original and reprise versions. Having been part of Mirzapur since its first season, Ginny once again brings her lyrical expertise to the big-screen adaptation, tapping into the paradox at the heart of Mirzapur and finding tenderness and vulnerability within a world shaped by violence, power and revenge. Composed by Anand Bhaskar, ‘Vaaroon-Forever’ is sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Romy, while Shreya also features on the reprise. For Ginny, Vaaroon Forever offered a space to explore a softer side of characters whose feelings often remain unspoken. While the song has a romantic feel, her lyrics stay rooted in the world of Mirzapur and its characters. She approached the song by first understanding the characters and the situation, and then allowing the lyrics to take shape naturally, bringing out a more personal side of them without taking away from the intensity of the world they inhabit. This also marks another collaboration between Ginny and Bhaskar, who have worked together on several songs across the Mirzapur series. Talking about her journey with the Mirzapur saga and returning for the film, acclaimed lyricist Ginny Diwan shares, “Mirzapur has been part of my journey since the very first season, so returning for the film felt like coming back to a world I know well. Every season has brought something different to the writing, and this song adds another dimension to that storytelling. Beneath its larger-than-life characters and intense situations, Mirzapur has always carried very intense human emotions, and that gives me room to explore as a lyricist. The aim was to let the words complement the story and the music, rather than simply serving the melody. Hearing those words come alive through Shreya Ghoshal and Romy’s voices was very special. Shreya brings such depth to every line, while Romy adds a unique texture of his own. Watching the two voices come together was truly memorable for me.” “Anand and I have known each other and worked together for a long time, so there is a certain ease between us when we work on a song. He understands the nuances of the lyrics and knows how to bring the composition and the words together. Every song I have written for Mirzapur has taught me something new about finding the right voice for a character. It has also pushed me to step outside my own vocabulary and write from a place that feels true to the story. Creating ‘Vaaroon Forever’ with Anand was a very fulfilling experience, and I’m looking forward to seeing how audiences receive it”, she added, speaking about her work with composer Anand Bhaskar. With work across films, music and advertising, Ginny Diwan has built a diverse body of work as a lyricist. An ITA Award winner for her lyrics in the series Masoom, she has also worked on films and series including OMG 2, Baaghi 2, Baaghi 3, JugJugg Jeeyo, Showtime, Jai Mummy Di and Modern Love Mumbai, among others. Ginny has been part of Mirzapur since its first season and continued through Seasons 2 and 3, during which she wrote all the songs including Tittar Bittar, Munna Rap and Duaa. With Mirzapur: The Movie, Ginny returns with “Vaaroon-Forever”. Directed by Gurmeet Singh and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie brings the popular franchise to the big screen, with Ginny continuing her association with its music. --

TagMango introduces New AI capabilities for creator businesses at RISE 2026 or TagMango Unveils New AI-Powered Tools to Help Creators Build and Scale Digital Businesses Mango AI and Mango Studio let creators build courses, websites and apps with AI, and run an entire one-person startup 15 million+ users on the platform with 10,000+ creators with ₹1,000 crore in cumulative earnings Innovation unveiled at RISE 2026, TagMango’s flagship event on the future of creator businesses. New Delhi, August 20, 2026: TagMango, one of India’s leading creator monetisation platforms, has launched Mango AI and Mango Studio, its latest AI capabilities, designed to help creators build, manage and scale digital businesses from a single prompt. The innovations mark TagMango's shift from a creator monetisation platform towards an AI-powered business platform, with AI integrated across product creation, business operations and customer experiences. TagMango supports creators in selling courses, memberships, communities and digital products, helping them turn their expertise and audiences into businesses they can directly own and monetise. Since its inception, the platform has enabled ₹1,000 crore in cumulative creator earnings, with 10,000+ creators and more than 15 million users having transacted on the platform. Building on this foundation, TagMango is now expanding its platform with AI-powered capabilities that help creators create products and digital experiences, understand their customers and manage key aspects of their businesses. The next phase of this evolution was showcased at RISE 2026, TagMango's annual flagship virtual event held on August 15. With the theme "Unlocking AI for Creators & Coaches," the event brought together leading creators including Ankur Warikoo, Siddharth Rajsekar, Riddhi Deorah, and Dhruv Rathee, alongside Russell Brunson, founder of ClickFunnels, who made his first appearance in India. The speakers discussed direct audience monetisation, AI adoption and the opportunity for creators to build sustainable, independent businesses. The discussions at RISE also reflected the shift TagMango is building for, from using AI as a tool for content creation to using it across the wider business journey. As part of this shift, Mango AI acts as a business co-founder for creators, helping them build courses and offerings, analyse business performance, understand customers and identify opportunities to grow revenue. Mango Studio turns prompts into websites, apps and digital experiences within the TagMango ecosystem, while Theme AI allows creators to customise their platform and customer experience through presets or a single AI prompt. Together, these capabilities simplify how creators build, manage and personalise their digital businesses. Divyanshu Damani, Co-founder, TagMango, said, “Building an audience will always be at the heart of a creator’s business. But everything that comes after; payments, courses, communities, websites and apps has traditionally required multiple tools, teams and time. With our AI-Verse of products, creators can now build these different parts of their business with a prompt and run them end to end. Our goal is to give every creator the infrastructure and control to build a real business on their own.” For creators using TagMango, the new capabilities are designed to make it easier to build digital products, personalise customer experiences, automate tasks and access business insights without relying on multiple tools or technical teams. TagMango plans to continue expanding these capabilities as it builds towards an AI-powered business platform for not just creators and coaches, but go beyond to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to enable them to launch and scale businesses.
