(Source: BARC Alpha Club ratings; TG: NCCS A1, 6 Metros, Period: WK5’ To WK 32’2016, AV GTVTs). The channel has announced its evolution, with a new primetime line- up in Delhi today that will start from October 3, 2016. Addressing the conference Dr.Subhash Chandra (Chairman-ZEE &Essel Group), said, “It’s an unfortunate decision we had to take to stop all programming from Pakistan. We at Zee, have tried for the past 24 years to bridge the gap, however, the one-way street is not working. We took a decision in our hearts right after the Uri attack. Our team met and agreed for the same. We at Zindagi want to respect the sentiments of our viewers, and of our country, and that is why we had to take this step.” “Zindagi has been the reason for the rise of a number of stars from Pakistan but when we requested them to at least condemn the attacks without naming their country, none of them came forward.” He further added. Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEEL), Chief Business Officer, Mr. Sunil Buch said, “Zindagi was launched with the promise of bringing the best shows from across the world to Indian television screens. Our compelling content has always been, and will continue to be our calling card. A thought leader in premium entertainment with a distinct character, Zindagi presents finite world stories with bold narratives which unveil universal emotions. The Alpha Club numbers give us resounding encouragement that we are on the right path of providing premium entertainment. What sets the channel apart is its consistent commitment to show Finite, Real, Vibrant, and Premium world stories. Zindagi will enhance its slate of shows from 3rd October 2016. Hand-picked stories from India, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Latin America and Korea, amongst others, will now be available on the channel. For our bi-lingual premium audiences, for the first time ever in India, Zindagi will also soon be available on a dual feed of Hindi & English. It will also be the first channel in the entire Indian TV industry to offer live streaming on Periscope, simultaneously with the linear TV feed.” At Zindagi, every show is not just a story…but a reflection of our life experiences! Each story is not only beautifully crafted but also delivered with impeccable direction and utmost sensitivity in terms of treatment and portrayal of the characters. Audiences relate to these endearing and powerful characters and index it to their own life journey savoring every moment. Sunil adds, “The channel's positioning ’YehLamha Hi Hai Zindagi’does justice to the brilliant brand name, and mirrors the essence of the word Zindagi. Anywhere in the World, Life is a finite procession of moments and it’s important that we live each and every one of them. There is no sense in doing Rewind – Play and lose our today, our moment in the quest of analyzing / living in the past. That’s the top line of the channel, literally, amongst a plethora of only base lines that exist for brands across the world. Again a departure from traditional base lines associated with most brands/channels and true to the thought leader grain of Zindagi.” Zindagi’s uniqueness lies in the quality of its content and the increasing global sensibility amongst its evolved audiences. This reflects in the new primetime slate that will launch this festive season from October 3. The new shows include a light-hearted Turkish drama, ‘Little Lord’ at 7.30 PM,which is an endearing tale of a parent-child relationship seen through the lens of a six year old, Mehmet.

Pear V Puri becomes the new Nagarjun on Life OK’s show Replacement of actors is a common phenomenon in daily soaps and the latest replacement is in Life OK’s show, Nagarjun - EK Yoddha. The main lead of the show, 21 year old Anshuman Malhotra fit the bill of an ordinary guy on his way to become a superhero however now for phase 2 of the show where a more matured looking actor is needed to play the part of Nagarjun, Pearl V Puri has been roped in overnight. Till now the storyline of Nagarjun – EkYoddha concentrated on the struggles of a 21 year old Arjun and how he is caught in the middle of a mythological mystery. Anshuman Malhotra was shown to be too big for his shoes fighting with giants like NikitinDheer and Mrunal Jain. However now with the change in storyline and Arjun becoming Nagarjun, Pearl V Puri has been roped in to play the part of Indian television’s first superhero. It had been reported that Anshuman was reprimanded by his producer Yash Patnaik to shape up or ship out if the ratings of the show didn't improve. Refuting the buzz, Yash says, “I have not pulled up Anshuman. He is a good actor and has done complete justice to the character. Such reports can be damaging for an actor. 21-year-old Anshuman fit the bill of an ordinary guy on his way to become a superhero. But we needed a mature guy to play the character in the second part, and that's why Pearl has been brought in. The ‘power leap' was planned in October, but we have advanced it as we have a good story at our disposal and many competing shows are slated to end”. Pearl V Puri who will be seen playing Indian television’s first superhero said, “There are many naagins on TV but I am the only Nagarjun and will be the only Nagarjun. I have been wanting to play a superhero since a kid but what I have now realized is that what is meant to happen will happen as my casting for the role of Arjun happened overnight that too when it was least expected. I am overtly excited about getting to play a superhero as everyone secretly wishes to be one and I get to be the first person on television to play one”. Watch Pearl V Puri play Nagarjun from Monday to Friday at 9pm only on Life OK Atul Malikram 9755020247
