About Star One Shows.

Start out and shape up if you are out of shape. We give you a stylish guide to losing weight, staying fit and feeling good.

Figure It Out is a daily fitness show with a difference. It does not have the usual super fit anchors who make exercising seem like a daunting task. Instead, Anchors Rajeev Kachroo and Simmi Sakuja are both fitness experts who will put a set of four regular people through a weight loss program on camera.

The psychological change they go through, the effort, the pain, the need to keep going - the drama of it all unfolds everyday. The idea is to monitor the four participants carefully and give them a complete image rehaul by the time they're through with the weight loss program.

This will be combined with tips on good eating, correct breathing, correct posture, simple exercise while at work, walking right, jogging right and so on. The show is also supported with fitness tips, celeb chats and more.

The story is set in an elite school that is an institution for the kids of the rich and the famous. The school also entertains scholarship students, who come from the poorer section of the society. The story revolves around the students, their lives, their insecurities, friendships, rivalries and ambitions.

Tia, Anvesha, Yuvi and Ranveer, the four main characters, would rather have very little to do with each other. Hailing from different backgrounds, all of them seem to have their priorities worked out and prefer to follow their own path towards fulfilling their ambitions. But destiny has another trail set for them. Circumstances force them to come together and through a series of dramatic twists and turns, the four form a music group and become the singing sensation of the decade.

The story also brings into play various other elements that shape the destiny of the four protagonists and the various other students, teachers and parents who form a bond with this elitist school. Touching upon the socio-economic divide, peer pressure, teenage dilemmas and other growing-up pangs, the show attempts to empathize with the adolescent in his quest for freedom.

What happens when a middle-class dreamer is suddenly mistaken by one of the richest families in the country to be their own son? And imagine the real successor of the family being forced to live in middle-class surroundings, owing to a loss of memory. This is the basic premise that the story of "Yehi Toh Hai Woh!" is based on.

Sameer Kamath, young man who works as a waiter in a small highway restaurant in Panvel has always dreamed of living life king-size. However, owing to circumstantial constraints and his own flirtatious personality, his dreams have always remained dreams Sameer lives with his mother Bhavna and younger sister Manju, and has a father Babu Kamath who is languishing in jail owing to his criminal deeds.

One day Sameer witnesses a road accident of a stranger who looks exactly like him. The injured look-alike is in fact Raj Thapar, the son of the super-rich Jaydev Thapar. However, owing to the accident, Raj loses his memory. Sameer tracks down Raj's house in the posh South Mumbai just so that he can return Raj's belongings that remained with him at the accident site. But he is instantly mistaken by one and all to be Raj himself.

At first Sameer tries to tell them the fact that he is not Raj, but slowly realising the high life that he is being offered, he decides to keep quiet and enjoy it while it lasts. Another reason for his playing along is that he is terribly, horribly attracted to Raj's pretty fiance Neha.

Meanwhile, Bhavna and friends have got the amnesic Raj to her house, mistaking him to be Sameer. All in the neighbourhood start to help Raj get back his lost memory in their own funny-yet-sincere ways. However, since Raj has actually never been there before, nothing really helps him.

At Thapar Villa, Sameer's middle-class upbringing and street-smart personality makes it difficult for him to blend in to the elite, refined surroundings. And unknown to him, he has enemies within his close circle - like Neha herself, who in fact had been planted in Raj's life by Raj's stepbrother Pran. But Sameer does hold on to his new life, and overcomes the obstacles slowly, with a little help from here and there.

As time goes by, Neha actually starts to fall in love with Sameer, causing great anxiety and insecurity to Pran.

Several other things unfold in the lives of Sameer and Raj, and keep the story more and more intriguing. For instance, Raj realises that he has had a rather wild past with women, and that he had an affair with Leena. As if by Providence, Sandeep - the cabbie boyfriend of Sameer's sister Manju - has a chance meeting with Raj's stepsister Shahana, leading to an affair that creates a string of interesting events that dangerously touch upon exposing the exchange of the look-alikes.

Soon, Sameer's father Babu Kamath comes out of jail and he is angered by Bhavna's close friendship with Shankar. Shankar still continues to be friends with Bhavna In the meantime, Babu Kamath gets murdered throwing everyone's life on a roller coaster ride... eventually we find out that Jaidev had actually killed Babu and unearth the truth that Raj-Sameer are Babu and Bhavna's twin children who were separated at birth as Babu had sold Raj to Jaidev.

More parallel tales entwine the saga of Sameer and Raj and their double lives, making 'Yehi Toh Hai Woh!' a surefire winner with super doses of emotion, comedy and thrill.

They later shifted to their Mami's house as per her last wish. And that is where our upwardly mobile, middle class joint family faced its trails and tribulations in life. They now discover oil in their old property and suddenly become one of the super rich family. They live in there own illusionary world as they have no clue about the lifestyle of the super rich families.
