Actress Parineeti Chopra and tennis player and her close friend Sania Mirza will open the first episode of TV show "Yaaron Ki Baarat", hosted by filmmaker Sajid Khan and actor Riteish Deshmukh.

"Yaaron Ki Baarat", which is expected to go on air in October, is said to be a light-hearted show celebrating 'filmi' friendships with fun and games.

"Shooting the first episode of @SimplySajidK @Riteishd 's show tomorrow with my cutie @MirzaSania ?? TOO EXCITED!" Parineeti tweeted alongside a picture of herself with Sania.

Re-tweeting her post, the tennis player posted, "Cannot contain this excitement!! #mustcontrol #bessstttt #3favourites @simpysajidk @Riteishd."

The show will air on Zee TV. "Yaaron Ki Baarat" is the fifth time the filmmaker and the actor are teaming up for a project, albeit in a new capacity, as co-hosts.

Their earlier collaborations have been feature films, directed by Sajid, like "Hey Babby", "Housefull-1 and 2" and "Humshakals".

Sajid, 45, and Riteish, 37, are not new to the small screen. The director has hosted shows like "Ikke Pe Ikka", "Super Sale" and "Kehne Mein Kya Harz Hai". While, Riteish has judged "India's
Dancing Superstar" and hosted Marathi show "Vikta Ka Uttar".
