Be Aware, Be Prepared, Be Safe", that's the mantra for the third season of the TV show 'Gumrah', anchored by Karan Kundra and endorsed by Chitrangda Singh. She will be seen narrating the first episode on July 7. While the new episodes continue to unravel the circumstances behind teen crime, the focus this time around will be on helping the youth avoid being victimised by criminal elements at large.

With that in mind, the channel has developed an app called 'VithU' as an extension of the show. The app features a 'panic button' that can be used when in danger. Chitrangda will explain to audiences, how to use the app during the show.

After trying to sensitise the society with its first two seasons, "Gumrah: End of Innocence" returns with the third season and this time the motto is to tell people how to prevent crime.

"The theme of the season is - 'be aware, be prepared, be safe'," Prem Kamath, general manager and executive vice president, Channel V, told reporters at the launch of the show Thursday.

The show, set to go on air July 7, will tell people how to prevent crime by acting right.

"As an additional step to the first two seasons, the third season will also show how a tragedy can be prevented. For instance, if a friend or parents would have behaved in a certain way or have done something, the tragedy would not have happened," explained Kamath.

What is the yardstick to choose the cases?

"We pick cases that can be related to a wide section of society. We basically want to educate society at large. At every stage we are reinforcing how a crime happens and how it can be avoided," said Kamath.

The channel has also launched an application that sends an alert in case of danger and actress Chitrangada Singh will endorse the app called "VithU". As of now, it is only available on android phones.

"It feels great to be the face of the app. It's a fantastic idea because it is something that people really need," said the actress of films like "Desi Boyz" and "Inkaar".

With the app an individual can send a message to five people enlisted on it and the recipients will also get the geographical location of the sender.

The 37-year-old actress, who will be seen narrating the first episode, said "Gumrah" gives an insight into people's mind.

"The show is actually spreading a good message as it makes you think that it's not always strangers who hurt you, people who are not complete strangers can also do it," she said.

TV actor Karan Kundra, who hosted the first two seasons, will host part three and Kamath said "there cannot be a 'Gumrah' without him".

Karan confesses that people's perception towards him has changed ever since he started hosting the show.

"People now look at me with more respect. It has been an important journey for me as an actor," he said and added that "we are solving a huge problem through the show".

The show has helped in improving communication between two generations, said Karan.

The weekend show will be aired every sunday at 7 p.m.

No sane girl will want me because of my busy life: Karan Kundra

No sane girl will want me because of my busy life: Karan Kundra

Telly hottie Karan Kundra on why he can't date someone, his new role as a movie producer and his Bolly debut:

What's keeping you busy these days?
I am hosting the third season of the reality showGumrah. The changes it's made to the earlier format's been pretty cool so far. I am doing a Vikram Bhatt film, Horror Story — it's on a different concept and I have a new look for the role. I am also doing two Punjabi films —Control Paaji Control and Mere Yaar Kamineywhich I have co-produced. I have been missingall these things in life and I am glad I am so busy with work.

You are considered as one of the best hosts on small screen.
(Laughs) Hosting happened by chance. I never thought about hosting a show. I don't think I am a typical host, I don't preach, I just talk. After my last daily soap, I didn't want to do another soap, and that is when I was offered Gumrah — the entire concept was so interesting and worthwhile that I went ahead and did it. I didn't know I will become so big.

How has it been working with the teenagers in your show?
The current generation is good — they are more aware and matured. With internet on their side, they have immense exposure. When we had problems we would speak to cousins or uncles, but now teenagers turn to internet for all the answers. Today's teenagers are young adults in every which way.

How was it working with Bollywood's hottest property, Chitrangada Singh?Chitrangada was a part of the first episode. It has been fun working with her — she is down-to-earth and sensible. Today Bollywood actors can pick up any reality show on television, but she chose Gumrah and this proves how responsible she is towards the society and youngsters.

Do you feel seasonal returns of TV shows work?
Kitani Mohabbat Hai was the first daily soap to have a second season, but that was because of public demand. It's important for reality shows to have seasons, because you need to take a break — revamp, upgrade the quality of the show and content and return. A lot of creativity goes into making a good reality show.

Like most of your counterparts are you also donning the cap of a producer?
I am the first actor from Hindi GECs who's produced a Punjabi film. As a solo producer, I am going to start working on a modern romantic film in December. Comedy as a genre is a hit in Punjabi film industry at the moment. I'm planning to do a romantic one.

With so much happening in your life, do you have time for romance?
I don't even get to spend quality time with my close friends. I don't think I can be in a relationship at this stage of my career. I am living out of my suitcases — and am forever travelling because of work so why would some sane girl want me?

Like most couples who remain friends with their ex-partner, are you also friends with Kritika Kamra?
Yes, very much. Kritika and I still talk. We are friends.

Dial P for Protection
Help is just a call away with Gumrah Season 3 launching VithU phone app. All you have to do is press the panic button
Jasmine Singh


These are the two things, which do not make a hue and cry about their arrival, they simply slither their way through—danger and crime. Both are so beautifully co-related that you need a strong intuition to handle them, or you can let technology make things easier for you.

Channel V's unique Gumrah 'VithU' phone app promises to deal with danger and crime affectively. Chitrangda Singh will endorse the show and its unique phone app. The host of the show Karan Kundra who has taken the audiences through the hard-hitting cases for the two seasons have all the reason to put his faith in VithU phone app.

Just for you

Her dusky looks and smouldering eyes have won many hearts. Bollywood actor Chitrangda Singh makes her television debut with Gumrah Season 3, and the beauty believes in saying no to what is wrong, and yes to what is right. It is the Channel V's VithU phone app that she zeroes in on as the right thing.

"As youngsters we all went friends' place for a sleepover and we encountered some untoward incidents. I wish this application was there at that time to avoid such situations," shares Chitrangda.

Gumrah Season 3 will be anchored by Karan Kundra and is being endorsed by Bollywood star Chitrangda Singh. She has already narrated the first episode on July 7. "The unique phone app VithU for android phone users is amazing. It features a 'panic button' that can be used in the face of danger. I will be using it myself," she adds.

It's pouring offers for the beauty, but she would rather let the producers talk about it. "I have a lot of offers and you will definitely see a lot of me. I think it is only wise on my part to let the producers talk about my movies." Television is a big platform for Bollywood stars and Chitrangda is aware of the fact. "TV is quite a big medium for reaching out to the common man. Shows like Gumrah make the society sit up and notice where we need to change ourselves." She has a quick piece of advice for the women, "Don't think you face danger from strangers, even someone close to you can harm you. Just be alert," adds Chitrangda.

He is back

Karan Kundra comes back as the host for the third season of Gumrah. Of course, he has choices and a lot of work in films; this is however one platform he will always have time for. "Hosting Gumrah has changed me as a person, I am more sensitive to the people around and now I can understand their problems better," says Karan, who feels he has a deeper connection with the show, more than a mere host. "I have seen tragedies that we have shown on our various episodes. That pain and trauma stays with me for a long time."

It is work and more work for Karan, as he laughs. "I haven't slept in ages I think. The show and films, it is going from one unfinished project to the other." When does he get time to meet his real self? "Meeting with Karan happens only when I am with my family and friends, I feel real with them." Karan will soon be seen in Bollywood films and a Punjabi movie.

A step forward

Taking a step ahead from the earlier seasons, Season 3 will focus on equipping the youth to avoid being victimised by the criminal elements at large in the society; thus focusing on the thought—"Be Aware, Be Prepared, Be Safe." Prem Kamath, general manager and channel head, who likes to interact with youngsters through live musical shows and programme, says, "We not only need to entertain the youth but also inform and prepare them. VithU app is an extension of the show which equips the society against unfavourable circumstances and can prevent their victimisation. Season 3 Gumrah is even bigger and better." The show recently won the Best Non-Fiction Show at the prestigious Indian Telly Awards.
