Press Release

The only ‘Official Website’ for the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ is accessible through the URL: www.satyamevjayate.in

22 May 2012

Mumbai, 22nd May 2012: We would like to bring to the attention of the general public that there is only one official website relating to the ‘Programme’ ‘Satyamev Jayate’ currently being telecast by Star India Private Limited (‘Star India’) on its channels including Star Plus.
The only ‘Official Website’ for the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ is accessible through the URL: www.satyamevjayate.in, and is currently hosted and maintained by Star India. Any other website claiming to be associated with ‘Satyamev Jayate’ is doing so without the authorization of either Star India or Aamir Khan Productions Private Limited (i.e. ‘AKPPL’ which has produced ‘Satyamev Jayate’).
Neither Star India nor AKPPL has given permission to any entity or person to set up, host, or operate any website associated with ‘Satyamev Jayate’ or to use any of the trade marks, logos, or trade names associated with the Programme, or owned by Star India, AKPPL or any of the sponsors/partners of the Programme.
It has come to our attention that various ‘Fake Websites’ have been set up in relation to the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’, which may even have an identical look and feel as the Official Website. For example, a Fake Website accessible through the URL http://satyamevjayateindia.org/ imitates the appearance of the Official Website of ‘Satyamev Jayate’, as does one available at satyamev-jayate.in.
Fake Websites such as http://satyamevjayateindia.org/ and satyamev-jayate.in may have been set up with malafide intentions such as to obtain money from members of the general public under the false pretence of being associated with the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’.
As such, we caution all members of the public (1) not to have any dealings with any Fake Website including http://satyamevjayateindia.org/and satyamev-jayate.in, (2) not to rely on any information available at any Fake Website including http://satyamevjayateindia.org/ andsatyamev-jayate.in, and (3) not to deal with any person associated with any Fake Website, and/or (4) not to deal with any person claiming to be associated (whether directly or indirectly) with Star India or AKPPL or the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’ through any Fake Website or otherwise. Any member of the public who has any such dealings shall engage in them entirely at their own risk, and neither Star India nor AKPPL shall be responsible or liable for the same in any manner.
As stated earlier, the only Official Website of the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’ is accessible through the URL: www.satyamevjayate.in – members of the public are cautioned only to deal with the Official Website and not with any other Fake Website.
All members of the public are requested to inform the ‘signatory’ below if (1) any person approaches them supposedly on behalf of Star India or AKPPL or the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’ in any manner, or (2) if they become aware of any website claiming to be related to the Programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’ other than the Official Website.

Mad in India: STAR's answer to Comedy Nights

Ashish Golwalkar, programming head, non-fiction, Star Plus, says, "If the content is strong, people really don't care about anything else as long as you are making them laugh. People keep drawing comparisons and we are aware of it. But, if you look at 'Mad in India' closely, it is a very different show. It will talk about day-to-day problems that we face but will have a funny take on all of them. It's not a satire, not a political comment, not a show taking digs on people, it's a show for, by an

Star Plus to attempt reclaiming the weekend prime time with ‘Mad In India'

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
