Tara Sharma Saluja, Creator, Host & Co-producer of the show said, “Our multi-platform show has been a great way for me to be with our kids and continue to work, being its creator, co-writer, co-producer with The 120 Media Collective, and host. Born out of my blog diary nine years ago, the show is centred on topics relevant to children and families and so I often draw from real life experiences and research. This season, we have widened it to be a platform to discuss topics not just on parenting but also wider family and societal issues with a view to trying to bring about positive change and help those who are seeking help. We have inspirational celebrity and non-celebrity guests who are using their platforms to help bring about positive change in areas that impact families, as our guests.  I am overwhelmed by the inspirational and motivating stories I hear on the show and the positive response of our guests, celebrity and non-celebrity, and our viewers.

I am also tremendously grateful to all involved in our show, it being literally like another child to me. Being the one who also secures our partner brands and network, I am thrilled to have Hershey’s, synonymous with Sharing Happiness and bonding with loved ones, Byju’s with Keep Learning and Blue Star with Being Cool, as our sponsors this season. They are all a perfect fit for our show. We are happy to continue being on Star World, a platform that helps us reach and impact the lives of many across the country. And our very encouraging and interactive digital following on The Tara Sharma Show Facebook, IGTV, Insta and YouTube Channel, helps take the show to a global audience too. Families and parenting being universal, and inspirational stories timeless and the language being English, we find viewers are often from all over the world, as are our guests. We hope you all like the show and it is a success touch wood!”
