Dial One..back with new name and hosts

Dial One aur Jeeto is back! But this time it's in a brand new avatar with hosts to match. Mini Mathur and Aryan Vaid will now be hosting the show on alternate days and will replace Mandira Bedi and Rohit Roy. The show will now be called, Sirf Ek Minute Mein and will be aired Monday to Thursday at 7:30 pm from 15 May.

"We wanted some freshness in the show, which is why we have changed the hosts. Although the name and the host of the show has changed, the basic premise is the same. The participants will be given a minute to answer questions and win as many prizes as as possible," says Sahara One COO Purnendu Bose.

The show will now be shot in a brand new set constructed at Film City, Goregaon.

"I am very excited about the show and anyway I have decided that I will only host shows! I am bothered only about quality work and Sirf...is a big show and has a very interesting format. The best part of the show is perhaps the fact that it's live, it will allow me to test my skills as an anchor," says a visibly excited Mini, who will devote two days a week to the shoot.

Meanwhile, this is the fourth time that anchors have been juggled around by the channel and perhaps it's these changes that has given Dial..that edge over the other game shows on air. But also a fact is that it was Mandira Bedi who held the show together and Mini thus has work cut out for her, but with the amount of quality work that the lady has done this should be a cakewalk for her!

The man perhaps to watch out for will be Aryan Vaid who will return to television after a stint on Campus a decade back. "Hey, I am not looking at it as a big responsibility! I want to have fun on the show and I am sure the contestants are going to enjoy themselves as well," says Aryan, who has two films in his kitty at the moment.
