Zee5's 'Yaar Ka Punchnama' is a virtual celebrity chat show

Finding new ways to keep viewers entertained, Zee5, the entertainment app from Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL), recently launched ‘Yaar Ka Punchnama’ — a virtual celebrity chat show hosted by film critic Komal Nahta. The show will feature celebrity friends catch up over a video call to discuss life before and after the lockdown. In true sense, discuss some ‘Masti bhari friendship stories’, which will be unheard of.

The show brings together popular celebrity pairs and gives them a platform to share what life was and how it has changed currently since the lockdown. The show brings alive their stories, reminisce about the old days, share their memories of hanging out together and the adventures they experience together.

The first episode of the show was aired on May 25 and will continue to be a bi-weekly programme with episodes going up on Zee5 every Monday and Thursday. With a stellar line-up of celebrity guests from Bollywood and digital space, viewers will get a glimpse of their astute chemistry and bond, which has no boundaries. With celebs interacting from safety of their homes, the audiences will have an insider perspective on how they are spending their lockdown and what they plan to do together after a reunion of sorts! And to ramp up the fun quotient, the show’s host will also get the celebrities to spill some interesting facts about each other through fun games and quizzes.

Each episode will bring together a power duo. The line-up for the first three weeks will be as follows:

*E01 (started on May 25, Monday) Ayushmann Khurrana and Taapsee Pannu.

*E02 (May 28, Thursday) Mallika Dua and Shweta Tripathi
