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.

The channel has competitors like Sony Entertainment Television and Zee TV in the lead, and was struggling to survive. It then introduced in 2000 several new shows which stabilized its position to lead the space in Hindi general entertainment.

People in Pakistan have local channels airing them news items but their entertainment comes from Indian channels. This is what the Indians would say that the neighboring country watch similar Bollywood films like them. The only thing that splits the two countries regarding television viewing is the news channels. That’s what separates Pakistani viewers from Indian viewers.
