Star Plus was launched on February 21, 1992. It was based on the English language showing some content from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Its Hindi channel was then Zee TV. When Star ended its contract with Zee TV, Star Plus then changed to Hindi-language based and the STAR World became the English-language channel.

This is what the Indians would say that the neighboring country watch similar Bollywood films like them.
