The channel has always stood for thinking anew and sparking new conversations in society. In keeping with the same thought, Star Plus is revamping itself - presenting an array of new, diverse shows that reflect today’s young contemporary India.

She further added, "I am very excited about the new range of shows coming up on StarPlus with characters which are very real and relatable. Shows like Mariam Khan-Reporting Live, Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala and Krishna Chali London highlight relationships and emotions, while Sabse Smart Kaun is a unique concept which celebrates common people who use common sense. With these am sure StarPlus will continue to touch our lives in the same way like it has been doing for the last two decades,' Alia Bhatt said.
