Colors to boost your EQ

Starting 1900 hrs on Monday, your world of entertainment promises to be a lot more colourful. Viacom18's brand new Hindi Entertainment Channel Colors hits the airwaves with a variety of programmes catering to every viewer.

And amongst the line up on Colors is the biggest and boldest reality series ever on Indian television yet, hosted by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar with a team of 13 Bollywood beauties who battle it out in military style boot camps in South Africa for the desi version of Fear Factor.

Akshay Kumar says, "Whether it's fire, water, heights, jumping, helicopters or creepy crawly stunts - you name them and these girls have done them."

Colors CEO, Rajesh Kamat adds, "It's the biggest Bollywood action stunt show. We see it as a Bollywood movie. Every episode is of the scale of a movie."

There's also a bit of mythology in store with Jai Sri Krishna, the first serial to completely focus on Lord Krishna's growing up years. And you could also step into history with Mohe Rang De, a love story in the backdrop of the 1942 Quit India Movement.

Colors also makes an attempt to send across a social message with Balika Vadhu. A first of it's kind, the show explores the issue of child marriage, and the negative impact of this ancient tradition in today's times.

Balika Vadhu producer Lata Sreedhar says, "This show is going to work because it has a message of spreading awareness and it's not been done before on television. Yes, a few documentaries have been made on the subject and films too, but no one remembers much about them."

So for action, drama, mythology and romance tune into Colors and there will be a lot more shades to your Entertainment Quotient starting Monday night.

Boy faints in Khatron Ke Khiladi

Fear factor Khatron ke Khiladi turned really dangerous in this Madhya Pradesh city when a 22-year-old participant fainted under water during the thrill-packed game. He is now struggling for life in a hospital, police said Monday.

Anzar, a resident of Sagar, who had come to Indore with his friends on a private visit, went to participate in the reality show, organised by the Candid Marketing Co for Colors TV channel at Treasure Island, late Saturday evening.

"Participants were supposed to remain under water in a tank (for few seconds). Anzar also did the same but he fell unconscious. When he did not came out for about 10 minutes, his friends raised an alarm," said police officer D.S. Baghel.

"The organisers instead of rescuing him fled the scene. Later the people witnessing the show brought him out of the tank and rushed him to a nearby private nursing home," Baghel said

The police have registered a case against Kunal, Ravi and Ajay of the Candid Marketing.

However, according to Baghel, Kunal has informed the police that no such incident occurred in their presence. The police are investigating the case.

Anzar whose lungs were filled with water is critical, said Baghel
