Audio platforms seem to be the talk of the town. Bollywood celebrities are now showing interest in hosting chat shows over the radio and other audio platforms.
Neha Dhupia’s #NoFilterNeha has been running on Saavan, a music streaming service, for three seasons now. It has a format similar to that of Karan Johar’s highly popular TV show ‘Koffee with Karan’. Each episode has different celebrity guests who talk about their personal lives, answer quirky questions and indulge in some fun games.
Other such shows would be:
Calling Karan
Karan Johar turned RJ for his show, ‘Calling Karan’, that airs on Radio channel Ishq 104.8FM. Karan acts as a love guru and gives love and relationship advice to callers.
Each episode deals with different issue like love triangles, hookups, office romance, long distant relationships wherein Karan talks openly and gives his personal advices/opinions to deal with them. His friends from the industry also call him once in a while, seeking his advice on all kinds of topics.
It’s Webisodes are also available on YouTube.
What Women Want
Following Karan Johar’s footsteps, Kareena Kapoor Khan also joined the radio fraternity. In her show ‘What Women Want’, which also airing on Ishq 104.8FM, she talks with different celebrities and women on women-centric issues.
Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho
