The mystery host, whose identity is jealously guarded by the station, is a radio veteran with over 13 years of radio experience. Apart from being a Radio Jockey, he has also written scripts for several prime-time serials, according to the station.

Says Radio City CEO Apurva Purohit, "Radio City is known for its pioneering innovations in programming and content. Going back five years, the challenge for us was to take on a non-prime time slot and build it. Radio City's Love Guruâ„? was developed as a very distinctly structured, robust concept which till date, remains unmatched in packaging and execution. As an entertainer, the show unequivocally remains non-preachy yet providing very humane, mature counseling, managing concerns even of an extremely personal nature with great empathy and articulation....
