"The channel has amazing content. We both are excited to be part of it," Alia said.

"I have always enjoyed watching television. I enjoy being on TV," Karan said.

So will he do daily soaps, Karan jokingly says, "I am not going to daily soaps....that might be pushing a lot. I know I am known to do everything. But you never know I might end up doing "Balika Vadhu" (a popular show on Colors channel)."

The network has entered into major multi-year deals with Warner Bros. International Television Distribution, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Television, BBC and Endemol Shine among others.
