Commenting on the development, R. Gopalan, Chairman of ZEE, said: 'The Board has deliberated upon the various alternatives discussed with J.P. Morgan and has conducted a thorough evaluation of the company's growth plans. The Board believes that the steps being implemented to enhance the promoter shareholding will ensure their added motivation to work in line with the enhanced business plan.
'The media and entertainment sector is evolving rapidly, leading to a shift in consumer preferences across the entertainment landscape. The investment by the promoters, coupled with the strong, ambitious growth initiatives planned by the management team, will ensure that ZEE remains well-positioned to accelerate its strategic plans to achieve its targeted aspirations.'
Shubham Shree, speaking on behalf of the promoter group, said the intention to increase their shareholding was conveyed to the Board on 1 May 2025, when ZEE's share price was ₹106.35. 'They are committed to the company and its business even at this higher price,' he stated.

Exclusive - Sheezaan Khan on Tujhse Hai Ashiqui: Wanted to explore playing a negative character
Tujhse Hai Ashiqui which started from June 6, features actor Sheezaan Khan as Arjun Waliya. While the actor is excited for the audience to see him in a negative character, he shared that he did not relate to it at all. He said, 'I don't relate to it at all. The character is a villain. Every person has an ideology, whether he is a villain or a hero, and they think they are always correct. While playing my character, I used to feel bad after the scene. I, as Sheizaan, used to feel bad about whatever I was doing in my character. This is the first time in my 12–13 years of career that I am playing a character like that.' 'I had never played a villain before, so this was a big reason for me to say yes to this show. I wanted to explore playing a negative character, and I had two big examples in my mind: first was Shah Rukh Khan in Darr, and second was Bobby Deol in Animal. I was okay with less screen time, but I wanted my character to be impactful. And that was it. If there is no Arjun Waliya in Tujhse Hai Ashiqui, then there is no conflict,' he added. When asked whether he feels fashion on screen has declined in the entertainment industry, he disagreed and said, 'Fashion and storytelling are two very different things.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ibbenbüren: Nur 700 Plätze.

He cites Gangs of Wasseypur as an example, a film that succeeded immensely because of its strong narrative. He added, 'It's just how a maker wants to show their show.' Behind the scenes, Sheezaan credits Ravie, who has directed the show, for being his guiding force throughout the shoot. Whenever he was confused or unsure about a scene, a quick call to Ravie would set things right. 'He used to just pick up my call and tell me how the scene should be performed, or if there is any change in the scene, how it should be done. So for me, he was like a guide. I trusted his vision completely,' he ended. Gashmeer Mahajani: I can only do limited series, but not daily soaps

Bengaluru Metro's loss is BMTC' gain on NICE Road
Bengaluru: With the long-delayed Yellow Line of Namma Metro to Electronics City still not open to public, thousands of commuters are turning to BMTC's NICE Road express bus services, which have seen a sharp rise in ridership and earnings in recent months. Launched in Dec 2023, BMTC services along NICE Road corridor began with 62,000 passengers. Today, they attract more than 4 lakh commuters each month. The corporation is now operating 53 buses across 17 routes on NICE Road, with daily ridership exceeding 13,000 passengers. Revenue has also seen a notable jump, with earnings per kilometre doubling in just over a year to Rs 58.8 from Rs 26.1. Among the services gaining traction is the recently introduced non-stop express route covering 48km between Madavara and Electronics City. BMTC chief traffic manager (operations) GT Prabhakar Reddy said the services have outpaced other major corridors within city limits in terms of popularity. "...Responding to this demand, we've added more routes and buses. We've also introduced a direct link from Tavarekere to Electronics City and are planning to roll out 10 AC buses on this route," he said. NICE Road buses now connect key IT hubs via routes originating in Madavara, Vijayanagar TTMC, Bidadi, Kengeri, Banashankari, Basaveshwara Nagar, and other residential areas. Commuters cite reduced travel time and avoidance of city-centre congestion as key reasons for choosing NICE corridor. A one-way ticket from Madavara to Electronics City costs Rs 76, including a Rs 30 toll charge levied by NICE. Although BMTC had earlier requested the toll be reduced or waived for public transport buses, the proposal did not receive any favourable response from NICE authorities. Several passengers also use Metro to reach Madavara before switching to buses to complete their journey to Electronics City. This seamless multimodal shift has become increasingly necessary, as BMRCL continues to miss deadlines for the Yellow Line, connecting RV Road and Bommasandra. Despite spending nearly Rs 7,000 crore on the 19-km elevated stretch, the Metro line — initially expected to launch in June with three trains — is yet to receive third-party safety clearance for its signalling system. With no official launch date in sight and repeated delays, public confidence in BMRCL's timeline continues to erode. Meanwhile, BMTC's efficient operations along NICE Road are proving to be a lifeline for daily commuters to the city's IT corridor. Box Rising demand NICE Road bus service launches in Dec 2023 Starts with 62,000 passengers Currently, route caters to 4 lakh commuters a month BMTC now operates 53 buses across 17 routes on NICE Road Daily ridership exceeds 13,000 passengers Earnings per km doubles in over a year from Rs 26.1 to Rs 58.8 Recently introduced non-stop express route, covering 48km between Madavara and Electronics City, gains traction
