Only on Zed TV, Himmat Ke Samundar Ki, Hai Yeh Kahaani Har Ghar Ki with Juhi Parmar

There are untold tales of women behind every locked door: tales of unspoken struggles with emotional neglect, sacrifices made for family, dreams shelved, and unacknowledged strength. Despite the fact that these facts influence the lives of numerous people nationwide, they hardly ever receive public attention.Zee TV is now working to end this quiet. The station strengthens its relationship with viewers by offering content that goes beyond amusement to address important issues, as seen by the launch of its redesigned brand identity, Aapka Apna ZEE. In keeping with this idea, Zed TV presents Kahaani Har Ghar Ki, a revolutionary new reality format. The show, which is hosted by the well-liked Juhi Parmar, gives Indian women a polite and safe forum to tell their stories. Kahaani Har Ghar Ki, which is produced by Zee Studios, will debut on September 1st and air on Zee TV every day at 6:30 p.m.With her sympathetic performances and powerful depictions, Juhi Parmar has gained the respect and trust of audiences throughout the years. She reappears in this new guise not just as a well-known actor but also as "Aapki Juhi," a sympathetic mentor, listener, and guide who establishes a secure environment where women feel encouraged, heard, and understood. Every episode of Kahaani Har Ghar Ki will vividly depict the intensely personal journey of a real-life lady, bringing to light topics like relationship difficulties, familial pressure, emotional neglect, and professional sacrifices. By use of open discussions and professional advice from psychologists and special guests, the program seeks to dispel preconceptions, promote empathy, and encourage viewers to consider the hidden truths in their own families.The press conference was intended to be an immersive experience in order to reflect the delicate nature of the event. Media representatives listened to an audio version of a story from the show while wearing headphones. The story, which had no images and was only told, followed both sides of a real-life dispute and ended in a tense, unresolved moment. As interest reached its pinnacle, Juhi Parmar joined the platform to discuss the importance of these underrepresented female voices being heard and recognized in the modern era.

In the midst of controversy surrounding the death of 39-year-old M. Revathi in the stampede and the severe injuries sustained by her 9-year-old son, the arrest was announced on December 13. On the eve of the release, Arjun went to the renowned Sandhya theater to support his admirers, and Revathi's family of four attended to see the Pushpa-2 premiere event. As the opposition BRS and BJP denounced "the arrest of a national award winner," particularly the way it was executed, the police action took a political turn.

In a High Court case, Adman Sandeep Goyal wants the government to control surrogate advertisements.

In order to stop surrogate advertising, Sandeep Goyal has petitioned the Punjab and Haryana High Court for a government-led oversight agency. He contends that deceptive advertising of things that are prohibited, such as alcohol and tobacco, cannot be addressed by the self-regulation that is in place at the moment. By acknowledging the issue and sending letters to the appropriate authorities, the court has signaled the start of an important legal discussion over advertising control.The nation is experiencing a health catastrophe as a result of young people developing early alcohol and tobacco addictions. According to the petition, "it is argued that the commercials, which feature well-known celebrities to promote their product, not only encourage the use of alcohol and tobacco but also validate their use through the glamorous representation of these products. "The petition highlights how ineffectual the present self-regulatory frameworks—such as the Advertising Standards Council of India's (ASCI)—are at preventing deceptive advertising. Goyal demands a stronger regulatory framework run by the government to monitor advertising material.Goyal argues that current redressal procedures are not quick to offset the immediate effects of these advertisements, which continue to reach sizable audiences before any kind of regulation is implemented. Additionally, he cites Supreme Court and high court rulings advocating for more stringent regulatory monitoring in the advertising industry.

Day 3 of Goafest 2025 ignites discussions on bravery, inventiveness, and the storytelling potential of AI.

As the curtains opened on Day 3 of Goafest 2025, the atmosphere was electric, promising another day of creativity, innovation, inspiration, and information exchange.

Programmatic, intelligent, and real-time: How DOOH is changing the outdoor advertising market in India

Outdoor advertising is moving into the dynamic, lively world of Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), which is different from static billboards. It's more than just a fancy term; it's revolutionizing the way that marketers interact with us in the real world. Imagine gigantic screens that change their content according to who is looking at them, bus shelters that display real-time news, or billboards that react to the time of day. In the future, outdoor advertising will be as intelligent and engaging as the digital world we carry around in our pockets, which is the alluring promise of DOOH.Adgully explores in this paper why this dynamic movement is changing the game for brands, improving the efficacy of campaigns, and yielding a measurable return on investment (ROI). Additionally, we'll look at the state of DOOH adoption in India right now, pinpoint the major industry participants propelling its expansion, and discuss the fascinating but dynamic development of programmatic DOOH in the Indian market. The versatility and dynamic content possibilities of DOOH are by far its strongest advantages over conventional static OOH. "Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising offers significant advantages over traditional static OOH formats," says Vaishal Dalal, co-founder and director of Excellent Publicity. The versatility of DOOH is among its strongest arguments; advertisers can run many campaigns on a single screen, alter creatives in real-time, and schedule content according to audience demographics or the time of day.Hyper-targeted communications is made possible by this dynamic feature, which raises relevance and engagement. Better measurement and analytics are also made possible by DOOH, which tracks impressions, brand lift, and even offline-to-online transactions utilizing audience insights and smartphone data. Because of improved targeting, lower production costs (no printing or physical installations), and the capacity to adjust campaigns in real time based on performance data, brands end up with a higher return on investment.This real-time benefit is highlighted by Sumit Taneja, Business Head, HyperGlocal (OOH) at Interspace Communications: "In this fast-paced world, DOOH allows for real-time updates and dynamic content along with programmatic capabilities." Additionally, it has a stronger visual impact that complements an electronic advertisement, and audience-based buying increases the campaign's efficacy.  

Mohit Joshi, Jaideep Gandhi, and Prasanth Kumar discuss why Goafest 2025 will be a high-ROX event.

The greatest creative festival in South Asia, Goafest 2025, is poised to excite minds with new formats, revitalized energy, and a redesigned experience for the media, marketing, and advertising sectors. The ambitious theme of Goafest 2025, which takes place from May 21 to 23, is "Ignite__," which serves as both a call to action and a creative spark. The event this year is expected to stimulate thought, start discussions, and bring together established professionals and up-and-coming talent. With more than 60 speakers, 20+ seminars, a bigger location, and new IPs, Goafest is still a vibrant platform that captures the spirit of the business.The event is intended to have a high Return on Experience, or ROX. This evolution aims to establish relevance in a rapidly evolving landscape, not only generate hype. Joshi continued, "The idea was to innovate and make it more appealing to the new generation."Each Goafest edition starts with the core question, "What kind of value do I give a delegate who's giving us two and a half days of their time?" according to Jaideep Gandhi, who is speaking about the 18th edition.Gandhi claims that inspiration and motivation are the foundation of that value. "A delegate should return with a sense of inspiration, motivation, and something special. We continue to raise that standard each year," he said.The problem, according to Gandhi, is to consistently provide new experiences, even though the Goa site remains constant. This year, between 60 and 70 percent of the audience will be new, while 40 to 50 percent will be returning. Therefore, we challenge ourselves to bring something fresh even when the location is the same.

Part 1 of Beyond the Scroll: Deciphering Print's Unwavering Hold on Reader Loyalty and Trust

Print media's lasting appeal in an increasingly digital environment is evidence of its special advantages. Print nevertheless has a unique and frequently esteemed place in economies where media consumption is influenced by political consciousness and long-standing cultural links, even while the sheer amount of internet content threatens to overwhelm. This durability stems from qualities like believability, tangibleness, and a fostered environment for ongoing participation that digital platforms, despite their immediacy, find difficult to duplicate.According to the recently published WARC Global Ad Trends Report on "Advertising's Breaking News Problem," India is defying the global trend of declining ad spend on news content by seeing an increase in both print and internet sales. According to the report, newsbrand ad spending in India has increased by 6% annually.According to the recently published WARC Global Ad Trends Report on "Advertising's Breaking News Problem," India is defying the global trend of declining ad spend on news content by seeing an increase in both print and internet sales. According to the report, newsbrand ad spending in India has increased by 6% annually. In order to understand what keeps print media so strong in India despite the country's swift shift to digital, Adgully interviews a variety of print industry experts and marketers for this two-part investigation.This attitude is nicely expressed by Sakshi Media Director Rani Reddy, who notes, "Yes, we are witnessing a big digital deluge." However, print continues to hold its revered position as a reliable medium, particularly in southern regional areas where readers are more politically conscious and aligned. According to her, this trust is a result of print's tactile qualities, in-depth editing, and carefully chosen content, all of which work together to create a strong emotional bond with readers. Sakshi's well-established credibility, first-rate hyperlocal coverage, and crucial role in helping readers live their lives by pointing them in the direction of "a better tomorrow" all serve to further solidify their devotion. In a world when social media is full with constant notifications and frequently overwhelming information, print provides a much-needed break from the screen and encourages real interaction.  

The new TV is YouTube, and it's very different from the old one! Section Two

In his yearly letter to the business this February, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan declared, "YouTube is the new television." He highlighted YouTube's transition into a major entertainment platform by saying that more people now watch the video on TV displays than on mobile devices."A growing number of people watch YouTube in addition to TV. Every day, viewers watch more than 1 billion hours of YouTube content on TVs, and in the US, TVs are now the main way that people watch YouTube. However, the appearance of the "new" television differs from that of the "old." In addition to the sports, sitcoms, and chat shows that people already enjoy, it's interactive and features content like shorts (yep, people watch them on TVs), podcasts, and live streams, Mohan said.Will YouTube take the place of traditional television as the new mainstream media? And how might this change reshape advertising, entertainment, and audience participation in the years to come? YouTube has changed over the last 20 years from being a place to post oddball, low-quality videos to becoming a major force in the entertainment sector and starting to look more and more like television. The distinction between YouTube and TV has become more hazy as viewers watch 1 billion hours of YouTube every day on smart TVs and broadcasters are now posting entire episodes. This convergence has been highlighted by the thriving partnerships between YouTubers and mainstream media, such as MrBeast's Prime Video series Beast Games and the Sidemen's Netflix reality program Inside.The integration has generated controversy, though, since some YouTube-based programs have come under fire for their content quality and production ethics, raising worries about a media "race to the bottom." YouTube now concentrates on serving as a distribution center while producers and broadcasters adjust to its business model, despite its brief foray into original content. Disney and other traditional TV networks are using YouTube to reach a wider audience. YouTube's popularity and production budgets indicate that it will continue to play a significant role in entertainment, even though it may not be able to compete with TV in terms of premium narrative in the foreseeable future. According to some analysts, YouTube and traditional television will merge to form a single media environment.

Harshvardhan Rane responds after Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane is removed off the "Sanam Teri Kasam" album covers on the music app.

On music apps like Spotify, the image of Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane has been digitally deleted from the Sanam Teri Kasam ad. The crew of the movie responds.It appears that Pakistani musicians have no place on our music CDs, not simply on their social media profiles. Actors who appear in Indian films from across the border are gradually being removed from the film's assets.On Monday, it was seen that Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane were the only actors on the Sanam Teri Kasam album. She is no longer featured on Spotify or YouTube Music's covers of the movie's album. When we contacted Deepak Mukut, the film's producer, he claimed to be unaware of this, saying, "They didn't ask me, it's their decision." Everyone must abide by whatever our government says.“Now they will say that my PR team got this done!” Harshvardhan tells HT City. No, I suppose it's just common sense; weeding is being done. In the 2017 movie Raees, Shah Rukh Khan and Pakistani star Mahira Khan performed a romantic number called "Zaalima." There is no sign of Mahira on the album cover on YouTube, YouTube Music, or Spotify, which just has SRK solo.

YouTube at 20: Part 1: From romantic fantasies to digital dominance

Unbelievably, when YouTube first debuted as a dating service in 2005, it was its original tagline. You heard correctly. Originally, people were supposed to provide videos that described their ideal spouses. Despite paying women $20 to post their videos to YouTube, the concept failed.The founders, Steve Chen, Jawed Karim, and Chad Hurley, who were once employees of PayPal, persisted. They finally came to the conclusion, according to Steve Chen, "OK, forget the dating aspect, let's just open it up to any video."What about the first video? Jawed Karim posted an 18-second video titled "Me at the zoo" from the San Diego Zoo on April 23, 2005. This little video shows Karim standing in front of zoo elephants and remarking on how long their trunks are. Even while it was far from the polished productions of today, it encapsulated the spirit of YouTube: anyone could share their moment, passion, or tale with the world. A little more than a year later, in October 2006, YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion, providing the platform with the resources, infrastructure, and reach it needed to develop into the worldwide behemoth it is today. As they say, the rest is history. Then, in honor of the millions of regular content creators influencing the digital era, Time magazine named "You" its Person of the Year for 2006. Despite not being specifically mentioned, YouTube was a major factor in this cultural change. A mirrored mirror was even used on the magazine's cover to represent the growth of user-generated content.With its remarkable transformation of the concept and process of content creation, distribution, consumption, and monetization, YouTube has emerged as the leading content powerhouse of our time, giving rise to the modern creator economy.

ASCI relaxes requirements for promoting generic financial and health products.

The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) declared on Monday that influencers can disseminate general information about financial and health products and services without professional credentials. Influencers in the fields of finance and fitness must currently possess the requisite training and licenses in order to recommend any goods or services on social media. Only technical advice will now be subject to the obligation.Influencers without the necessary credentials may disseminate general information about goods or services that does not constitute technical advice. The most recent revision to the standards states, "For instance, a health food company partnering with a chef or food blogger to promote a meal service, or an insurance company using an influencer to discuss the necessity of yearly health examinations. "The goal of this ASCI action is to broaden the scope of brand endorsement to include professionals who lack qualifications but are well-known in the field for their expertise and kindness, which can strengthen a brand's messaging. "Influencer marketing has developed beyond straightforward endorsements and now frequently incorporates strategic alliances for a range of brand communication initiatives. In a news release on Monday, ASCI secretary general Manisha Kapoor said, "The revised guidelines bring in the necessary nuance for influencers operating in the BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) and health and nutrition space."
