MUMBAI: From infotainment shows to news coverage, CNN-IBN has initiated the following on the journey of the South-West Monsoons across the country:

MUMBAI: The dashing and self-confessed serial kisser of our desi tinsel town - Emraan Hashmi will be at his candid best as he chats up with host Tarana Raja Kapoor on Let‘s Talk, only on Zoom Television, India‘s premier lifestyle and entertainment news channel on July 11th 2007, Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Inspite of the huge fan following, Emraan believes he is a very vain actor and rewards his success to the serial kisser image that he has created with a tag of being called a die-hard romantic hero. Emraan will enlighten everyone with hilarious anecdotes about his fans showering their love and affection. He will talk about one such unique incident when he was shooting for ‘Ashiq Banaya Aapne‘ when a lady fan gifted him a beautiful box. Upon opening it he discovered a sexy set of lingerie that was perfumed and the box contained a note with a number, though he refused to divulge the events that followed thereafter.

The heart to heart conversation with Emraan and Tarana will get even more exciting when he talks about his films. He talks about how co-actor Amisha Patel had a reservation about working with him in the film ‘Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar‘ because she felt that he was totally expressionless and stiff. She even made it a point to complain to veteran Mahesh Bhatt who warned Emraan that he was not an actor material and to be an actor he would have to pull up his socks together and work very hard towards it. Emraan believes that to be a super star, one does not need to be in the Yashraj or Karan Johar camp. He says, "I‘m a living example of this. I‘ve created a niche for myself that no other actor can usurp but at the same time, I‘m aware that I‘m trapped with the serial kisser image that now I‘m struggling to break free from." Emraan will go on to chat with host Tarana about his latest film ‘Awaarpan‘ where he has made an attempt to break the mould.

The t?te-?-t?te on the chat show Let‘s Talk with Emraan Hashmi talks fondly about how inspite of his on-screen serial kisser and romantic hero image, he has only one heroine in the real world - his longtime girlfriend now beautiful wife Parveen. He blushes at her mention and talks about being a very devoted husband to this special woman in his life whom he absolutely adores.

Let‘s Talk with Emraan is filled with mischief as he divulges in details on his lover boy image as he had his first crush only when he was a little six year old. He drove his parent‘s mad insisting that they do not waste time and get him married to his sweetheart. He goes on to inform that he has been a brand ambassador of being a serial kisser since his early days with his first kiss at the age of fourteen. Today, he proudly rates himself 11/10 as a kisser. On his own admission, he claims to be very naughty as a kid and even today the co-stars are scared of all the pranks that he has hidden up his sleeve.

Don‘t miss the rendezvous with host Tarana Raja Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi India‘s romantic hero and serial kisser on Let‘s Talk on Zoom on 11 July 2007, Wednesday at 8 p.m. Isko Dekho!

MUMBAI: When you have no interest in studies, you only have two options - politics and business, said Sunil Bharti Mittal in an exclusive interview with Sanjeev Srivastava (India Editor - BBC Hindi).

Mumbai‘s leading FM channel Radio One Fm 94.3 will broadcast the interview at 12 noon on Sunday, July 8th, simultaneously, in Mumbai and New Delhi.

In a free-wheeling interview, Sunil Mittal speaks about his childhood days in Ludhiana when he was more interested in playing and not studying which made his parents wonder what would he do when he grew up. Even during his college days, he would indulge more in shooting, gliding and flying than studies, which was a cause of concern for his parents.

"I learnt a lot from my parents, especially my father. He was in politics. I have seen him combining a lot. He was at ease among the slum dwellers as he was at a lecture at the UN. He could handle two opposites very well. Today, you make me sit in the streets or at a global economic forum. It will make no difference. There are very few Indians who have been co-chairman of a global economic forum. I have seen people drifting to one side. Thanks to my father, I am not like that," he said while stressing on the fact that how much ever one grows in stature, one should not forget one‘s roots.

In the interview, Sunil Mittal talks about the importance of studies but also stresses that one has to be focused on one‘s objectives, one need‘s to dream and be ready to work hard to realise the dreams. As is well known, Sunil Mittal started his career with a paltry Rs. 20,000/- making cycle parts for Hero Cycles in Ludhiana and has even driven trucks laden with vegetables from ports to the market.

The interview gives an interesting insight into Sunil Mittal the person and the professional and is sure to be an inspiration to listeners from all walks of life.

MUMBAI: ESPN STAR Sports, Asia‘s leading sports broadcaster, will bring LIVE all the excitement of F1 racing this weekend with the British Grand Prix. The channel will telecast LIVE and EXCLUSIVE the Grand Prix from Silverstone with its signature show Race Day (pre race) and Chequered Flag (post race) as part of its comprehensive F1 programming for Indian viewers.

For the first time McLaren‘s Lewis Hamilton will race a Formula One car in front of his fellow countrymen. Championship leader Hamilton has a 14-point cushion vis-?-vis his team-mate, Fernando Alonso. He came into the limelight last year when he won an enthralling GP2 Series race at Silverstone. Hamilton races into this weekend with a hope of joining a long list of Britons who have won the British Grand Prix: Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Peter Collins, Jim Clark, David Coulthard, Sir Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, John Watson, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert.

The pressure builds up on Hamilton after the demonstration of speed by Ferrari at Magny-Cours, which has given the world championship fight a fresh injection of adrenaline. Silverstone marks the midpoint of the world championship, with McLaren currently at 114 points and Ferrari at 89. Whatever the result maybe, Hamilton will leave Silverstone with at least a three point lead in the standings after his eighth straight podium finish in France.

The home of British Motor Sport, Silverstone hosted the first-ever round of the World Championship in 1950 and is one of the only two circuits to have hosted a championship race consistently, ever since. Revisions to the circuit and several enhanced safety features have made racing at Silverstone even more interesting.
