SNEAK PEEK: Controversial Show Pehredaar Piya Ki Is Back With Season 2
Pehredaar Piya Ki makers (Shashi-Sumeet Productions) dropped the trailer of the second season a while ago and it is sure to leave you curious
Sony’s
controversial show, Pehredaar Piya Ki, which was in the eye of a storm ever
since its first promo went on-air, was finally pulled off late August. At that
point, the makers (Shashi-Sumeet Productions) ascertained that they will be
back with a new show with the same cast later this year.
Now, they took
to social media to drop the promo of the second season a while ago. Take a
look:
In the short
clip, we see Tejaswi Prakash as Diya (the same character she was playing
in Pehredaar Piya Ki) walking through what seems to be the same Rajputana
palace that Season 1 was set in. The video doesn’t introduce any other
cast member.
Our well-placed
sources tell us that the title of Season 2 has not been decided and the cast is
already shooting for the show. This time the viewers will see Tejaswi romancing
Rohit Sunchati, who is essaying the elder Ratan.
Says a source,
“The show has taken a leap so Ratan will play a man in his 20s and Diya is in
her 30s. In the track, Ratan
will return after completing his education in a foreign university. This season
will delve into the challenges that Diya and Ratan will face in their
relationship.”
For those who have come in late, Pehredaar Piya Ki, which showcased a
romantic relationship between a 9-year-old boy and 18-year-old woman received
immense backlash for promoting social evils like child marriage and justifying
the act of ogling and stalking women.
As makers dealt
with the feedback, came in news that viewers had filed a petition asking for a
ban on the show. Post the development, officials of Broadcasting Content
Complaints Council (BCCC) decided that the show be shifted to the late night
slot of 10 pm and will run an advisory disclaimer throughout, saying
that the show does not promote child marriage and it’s a work of fiction.
Days later, in a
shocking turn of events, Pehredaar Piya Ki was pulled off-air. Sony released an
official statement, which read, “Effective 28th August 2017, we are pulling off
our programme, Pehredaar Piye Ki, from television. While we understand that the
decision to end this serial will be disappointing to those whose creative
energies are vested in it, namely, its crew and cast, we (as a channel) are
convinced that we will be better served by focusing instead on developing
viewer interest in our upcoming, new shows. We are grateful to all the artists,
producers and fans of our shows and request you to graciously support the
viewership of our newer ventures.”
Now that the
makers are back with the second season, let’s wait and watch to see if the
viewers welcome it with open arms.
