Overview
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced the launch of The Great Indian Family Holiday: Singapore Edition, a four‑episode travel series that will stream exclusively on JioHotstar beginning 31 October 2026. The series is designed to showcase Singapore as a multi‑generational family destination by following four of India’s most beloved celebrity families as they explore the city‑state.
Featured Celebrities and Episodes
- Pratik Gandhi – the actor travels with three generations of his family, highlighting first‑time experiences such as the “bee experience” and the “Circle of Trust”.
- Maniesh Paul and his wife Sanyukta Paul – they take their children to adrenaline‑filled attractions like HyperDrive and Universal Studios Singapore, as well as quieter wildlife encounters at Mandai Wildlife Reserve.
- Sameera Reddy and her husband Akshai Varde – they enjoy thrills on MegaZip, explore the magical Harry Potter: Visions of Magic exhibit, and visit the Night Safari, describing it as a highlight.
- Atul Khatri – the comedian focuses on culinary discoveries, following clues through Chinatown, sampling local favourites, and enjoying outdoor adventures, sunsets and a round of golf.
Each episode also features visits to the Singapore Oceanarium, Peranakan Museum, and a night‑time show Wings of Time on Sentosa, among other attractions.
STB Commentary
Serene Woon, Area Director for India, Middle East and South Asia at STB, stated: “Indian families don’t just want a holiday – they want moments they’ll still be talking about years later. Singapore is that kind of place… Through this series, we wanted to show that side of Singapore – not through a brochure, but through real families, real moments and the kind of joy that simply can’t be scripted.”
Partnership with Cleartrip
To translate the on‑screen experiences into real travel opportunities, STB has partnered with Cleartrip, one of India’s leading online travel platforms. Curated holiday packages inspired by the series are already live on Cleartrip, allowing Indian families to book itineraries that mirror the attractions and activities showcased in the episodes.
