inger Arijit Singh, who
started his journey in
the music industry
from a reality TV show,
will be back on the
small screen to judge a music
reality show - “Raw Star”.
Arijit, who has made a lasting
impact in the industry by ren-
dering songs like “Tum hi ho”,
“Soch na sake”, “Kabhi jo baadal
barse” and “Muskurane”, will
also mentor the contestants on
the show.
Contrary to reports that sug-
gested the show will air on Star
Plus, the musical show will beam
on Life OK. Arijit has shot for a
promo, which will be out on
August 20, read a statement from
Life OK.
“Raw Star” is not a sequel to
“India's Raw Star”, and will bring
forward a new concept and new
challenges with the focus on
singing ability rather than per-
forming.
The singer, who earlier this
year posted a public apology to
Salman Khan on social media,
will challenge, mentor, groom
and put the contestants through
the grind in order to get that ulti-
mate winner.
There will be digital auditions
allowing people from every cor-
ner of the world to participate.
The auditions will tentatively go
live on August 21.

V
eteran actor Anupam
Kher will be back on the
small screen, and this
time to host a TV show titled
“Bharatvarsh”, which will tell
stories about important people
behind the formation and evo-
lution of the country.
“Bharatvarsh” will take view-
ers on a journey from ancient
India to the 19th century by
showcasing the life stories of
some major figures who had a
defining impact on the coun-
try's development.
Talking about his new show,
Anupam told IANS over phone
from Adelaide: “It is a great con-
cept. It is not only educating
and informative but also talks
about the greatness of the
country and greatness of the
people who have been there
before.”
“It's important to tell the
story of great people with great
life stories.”
The 61-year-old said that it is
important for people to know
about their own country.
“It talks about the rich cul-
ture and heritage of our coun-
try. When you see it in a visual
form, it is much more enter-
taining and interesting,” he
added.
The show will present
thoughts and ideologies of per-
sonalities like Chanakya and
Gautam Buddha.
On TV, Anupam has earlier
hosted shows like “The Anupam
Kher Show - Kucch Bhi Ho
Sakta Hai” and “Sawaal Dus
Crore Ka”.
“Bharatvarsh” will air on ABP
news channel every Saturday
starting August 20.

A
ctress Charvi Saraf says
she chose to be a part
of TV show “Bade
Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania” as her
character is funny and naive.
She believes comedy comes
easy to her.
Charvi plays Anita, sister of
the show's lead character
Abhishek, played by
Priyanshu Jora.

typical joint family based in
Mussoorie. The whole family
is dependent on Abhishek for
all their expenses as he is the
only bread-earner in the fam-
ily. We are trying to find a
bride for him. “I am playing
Anita who is very fond of all
the fancy and expensive stuff.
She loves to do make-up all
the time. Her only aim in life
is to get married to a rich man
who pampers her with gifts
and lead a fairy tale life.”
The actress, who has fea-
tured in “Ek Duje Ke Vaaste”,
also said she chose the role as
she is “a really funny, naive
and simple girl”.
“Comedy is something
which I have done before. It
comes easy to me. I enjoy
doing this,” she added.
