Sakshi Tanwar, who was last seen in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, will now be part of a new talk show for the yet-to-be launched channel called Sony Pal. The show is tentatively titled Simply Baatein With Sakshi. A source says, “It is a women-centric channel and this show will feature successful female celebrities from both television and Bollywood. As the show’s host, Sakshi will try to bring to light some unknown things about these celeb women’s lives. It is going to be a weekly show and it is being put together by a new production house called GR8.”

Sources say that this channel will have seven fiction shows, where each one will deal with a particular aspect of a woman’s life. “Initially, there was buzz that Lara Dutta will be the face of the show. But now Juhi Chawla has agreed to come on board and she will be a brand ambassador for the channel,” says a source.

Sakshi, Juhi and the channel’s spokesperson remained unavailable for comment.
