Ghosal, who enjoyed the opportunity to speak with fellow sportspersons, said, "It is an absolute pleasure for me to host a show which gives me an opportunity to have candid conversations with some of the stalwarts of Indian sports."

"Each one of them has made the nation immensely proud by their deeds and now it is time for the nation to hear their story and take pride in it. I can't wait for the series to kick-start as my first guest will be none other than Abhinav Bindra who is not only an Olympic Gold recipient but also one of the most inspiring personalities I have ever come across".
