Mohit Dantre and Vikrant Bhatnagar are brothers in arms. They finish each other’s sentences, indulge in constant banter and even dress similarly. And now they’re together again, hosting the newly relaunched Mirchi Morning Show on Radio Mirchi UAE, owned by Abu Dhabi Media (which also owns The National).
The RJs moved to Abu Dhabi from India last year to “add zest” to the daily five-hour morning show that expatriates from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh tune into during their commute to work.
Radio Mirchi has launched a three-week campaign titled Dreamum Wakeupum, Morning Superum, named from a song from the 2012 Bollywood romantic comedy Aiyyaa, starring the actress Rani Mukerjee.
During the first week (Dreamum), the hosts fulfilled the dream of one listener every day, handing out everything from plane tickets to pets.
On the show, the RJS also discuss local and international happenings, and share personal experiences while keeping it fun and entertaining.
Dantre and Bhatnagar began their careers at rival stations in India seven years ago and since then, have also dabbled in TV and dance. Dantre believes doing radio in the UAE is a unique experience because of the demographics and the close interaction they enjoy with the audience.
