To co-produce a show about a bond that brings about the biggest change in one’s life, we hope our audience go on to rekindle their ‘yaaris’ and reach out to their long lost friends, often lost in our fast paced lives. Also with this we look to take a step forward in creating more engaging content to connect and engage with the youth today!”

There could not be a better idea than celebrating the same through this show which is India’s first celebrity chat show which will raise a toast to celebrate – Friendship. Bringing this live is exciting. It’s a great platform for the brand. We at Mindshare recognise the consumer tastes as triggers to customising content.
