Under the umbrella of Sitaare Zameen Par a show that is called Mr. and Miss Television will have celebs competing with each other. So what’s new? Wasn’t there a similar show called Say Shaava Shaava on NDTV Imagine, just a while ago? “This is not just a singing, acting and dancing but there are many stages like stand- up acts, etc which makes the show stand apart from other realities shows. The show will mark the presence of the most versatile actor and actress of television,” says Albert Almedia, Executive VP & Business Head, Sony Entertainment Television.
