Zee Entertainment is rolling out a bunch of new nonfiction shows in different languages, building on the buzz from hits like Dance India Dance and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

This time, they're diving into celebrity talk shows and food-based series: think Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai 2.0 with R Madhavan, plus fresh Telugu and Tamil content.

Zee spotlights food and game shows

There's a big focus on food with shows like Varewa, Samaiyal Express, Kitchen Kalakar, and Oogarane Dabbi.

Game shows are getting some love too: look out for Lakhpati Didiya and Jodi No. 1.
