There's nothing quite like reliving one's school days. And, although many didn't think of school as "fun" when they were students, the memories tend to evoke a sense of wistful joy. This is exactly what 'Backbenchers' – the first non-fiction show on Flipkart Video Originals aims to do. Scheduled to premiere on the Flipkart app on October 19, 2019, the show will be hosted by leading Bollywood director, Farah Khan. Known for her cheeky humour and no-holds-barred one-liners, Farah will quiz some of Bollywood and sports' finest in her classroom!
Did you know Parineeti Chopra was a teacher's pet or Sania Mirza was an Urdu expert at a very young age? Find out all this and more on Backbenchers. There will be a total of 20 episodes, with a new episode airing every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm. A one-of-a-kind web quiz show, 'Backbenchers' adds fun and a whole lot of laughter to the idea of a classroom. The audience will see some of their favourite celebrities appear for their exams one more time under the watchful eyes of Farah Khan, who plays the dean of the "school". The show will put the star guests in the 'hot seat', testing their general knowledge through several rounds of written and oral tests.. As the fun host, Farah will switch between playing a tough-as-nails principal and being her usual quirky self. Each episode will feature some comedy sketches too.
