Farah
Khan
and
Shirish
Kunder's
production
3's
Company
shot
for
the
first
episode
of
Tere
Mere
Beach
Mein
yesterday
(to
be
aired
weekly
on
Star
Plus
in
March)
with
John
Abraham
and
cricketer
Yuvraj
Singh
at
Film
City.
Shahrukh
Khan's
TV
company
Red
Chillies
Idiot
Box
is
line
producer
for
the
talk
show,
loosely
based
on
The
Ellen
DeGeneres
Show.
Unlike
Koffee
With
Karan,
Farah's
show
isn't
for
a
niche
audience,
but
for
the
masses.
The
show
is
in
Hindi
and
the
sets
have
a
very
casual,
bohemian
look
(much
like
the
host's
personality),
a
beach
as
the
background.
The
OSO
director
wants
to
invite
women
from
all
ages
and
classes
to
be
part
of
the
live
audience.
Market
research
will
be
done
and
feedback
will
be
invited
on
what
people
want
to
see
on
the
show.
An
insider
reveals,
"This
show
has
an
interesting
deviation.
In
stead
of
gifting
her
star
celebrity
with
presents,
Farah
will
be
gifting
cheques
worth
Rs
1-2
lakh
to
needy
people.
In
the
first
episode,
John
and
Yuvraj
gave
away
a
cheque
to
a
poor
woman
from
Thane
who
had
given
birth
to
quadruplets.
When
Farah
read
about
her
plight
in
a
newspaper,
she
sent
money,
her
kids'
toys
and
clothes
by
cab
to
them.
Like
this,
money
will
be
given
to
one
poor
and
deserving
person
every
week.
Farah
also
intends
to
set
up
a
trust
fund
where
people
can
donate
in.
It
will
be
transparent,
as
Farah
intends
calling
the
people
whom
the
money
will
go
to,
to
come
on
the
show
and
take
it."
The
topics
of
the
show
will
be
light-hearted,
not
preachy
or
boring.
"The
first
episode
starring
John
and
Yuvraj
has
the
'male
eye
candy'
theme.
The
second
episode
will
have
Mama's
Boys
featuring
Karan
Johar
with
mom
Hiroo
and
Ranbir
Kapoor
with
mom
Neetu.
Another
episode
will
have
small-town
girls
like
Mallika
Sherawat
and
Kangana
Ranaut
girls
who
come
from
small
towns
but
are
feisty,
bold
and
aggressive.
