SNEAK PEEK: Controversial Show Pehredaar Piya Ki Is Back With Season 2

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.
