    “Tata Sky Classic TV brings back the nostalgia of television from the 80s and 90s with handpicked shows and titles from those decades,” said Tata Sky chief commercial and content officer Pallavi Puri. “It has been curated in partnership with Shemaroo who are experts in genres across TV shows and movies. They also power Tata Sky Classic Cinema, a popular service that celebrates the richness of vintage Bollywood.”

    “Tata Sky has always recognised the appeal of unique and varied content and we believe that Classic TV will bring a whole new facet of entertainment to our viewers. We believe Neena Gupta is the perfect ambassador for this genre and the service,” she further said.

    The service, powered by Shemaroo Entertainment, includes notable shows like “Hum Paanch,” “Saans,” “Fauji,” “Banegi Apni Baat,” “Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai,” “Movers & Shakers,” “Karamchand,” “Hasratein,” “Hip Hip Hurray,” “Zamana Badal Gaya,” “Raja Aur Rancho,” “Dard,” “Akbar The Great,” “Yug,” “Upanyas,” and “Mahanagar” among others.
