5 things to watch out for this weekend

Our pick of stuff that has everyone all agog with excitement

It's a foodie extravaganza!
Brace yourselves, folks! Foodshala, UAE's most-watched reality show on food, is all set for its sixth season, starting tomorrow! This season saw over 524 people come in for the auditions, of which 30 were selected for the second round. "The auditions turned into a family event where the entire family came in to support the home chef and had a party doing it," says producer Gaurav Tandon.  
The first two episodes of the show, to be aired at 7.30pm on Zee TV will showcase the auditions while the cook-out competition begins from episode three onwards. And there's going to be a whole lot of new things to watch out for since the show has undergone something of a revamp. Three reality producers from India have been brought in this season while there's a new director as well.
"The team working on the show is a reality specialist this time and we are looking at a season that will be full of drama, emotions, action and, of course, a lot of great food!" says Gaurav.
You can watch the auditions tomorrow, 11 March at 7.30 pm on Zee TV.
