Don’t just think it. #KhulKeBol with MTV Nishedh
17 Jan 2020, Pune- SEX, CONDOM, ABORTION, TB. Whenever, these words are spoken out loud, all we do is hush. While young Indians are open and forward in their outlook, there is still hesitation to talk about these issues. But come January 25th, MTV is urging you to speak out loud on all things taboo and break the stigma with its new slice-of-life series MTV Nishedh. As India’s No 1 Youth Brand, MTV has always spoken about social taboos unabashedly. With MTV Nishedh, the brand takes its clout a notch higher to bring to light conversations on what have been, so far, topics shackled in societal norms.
With stories centered around some of the most critical yet taboo social issues such as modern contraception, medical abortion, consent, tuberculosis and nutrition, MTV Nishedh, produced by Victor Tango, will air on MTV starting 25th January, every Sat-Sun at 8PM. The show will also air on Colors Rishtey starting 1st Feb onwards every Saturday- Sunday at 10:30 pm and is available to stream on VOOT.
Owing to the strong social messages it communicates, Bhumi Pednekar has come on board to as a cause ambassador for MTV Nishedh. Bhumi Pednekar said, “We now live in an era where the youth is brave and unafraid to stir change. The world is grappling with integral health issues that need a voice and MTV Nishedh comes in right there. Through relatable and close to life characters, this show answers some pertinent questions on issues like modern contraception, medical abortion and TB. This is an opportune time for Young India to talk openly and I am glad to associate with MTV Nishedh as a cause ambassador. I look forward to doing my bit to brush off stereotypes, raise awareness and drive positive change.”
Acclaimed singer and the first Indian female vocalist to collaborate with UN for women empowerment, Neeti Mohan has also come forward as the cause supporter by rendering her voice for the show anthem #KhulKeBol. Produced by Indian music composer Chirrantan Bhatt and lyrics by Manoj Yadav, the song is a powerful call out to the youth to liberate themselves. Neeti Mohan added, “Music has the ability to express thoughts and emotions. For a powerful cause-driven show like MTV Nishedh, #KhulKeBol will bring voice to it.”
