Sony Entertainment announces second season of Parvarrish with fresh cast


Speaking about the new season, Aman Srivastava, VP Marketing, Sony Entertainment Television, said, “After the overwhelming response of Parvarrish Season 1, it was but a natural extension. The unique bond between parents and children is something which people across age groups can relate to and is an unending point of interest. We are sure it will be an instant hit with the viewers once again.”
Produced by DJ’s Creative Unit, Parvarrish Season 2 is a story of two mothers of Khurana and Gupta family. Surinder Khurana played by SangeetaGhosh is a jovial mother who trusts her children a lot and believes in being a friend to them. On the other hand, Simran Gupta played by Gautami Kapoor is overprotective of her daughter and represents the anxious parent.
Both, Surinder and Simran are neighbours and how they help each other in becoming the perfect parent is what Parvarrish Season 2 revolves around. The show will throw light on how parenting is a learning process for both, parents and children.
Commenting on the launch, Deeya and Tony Singh, DJ’s Creative Unit, said, “With our previous season of Parvarrish we received tremendous response from the viewers on how families could relate to certain situations. Continuing with the same momentum, we are taking the concept of parenting to the next level and integrating it with various touch points of experiences and expectations. We are thrilled to associate yet again with Sony Entertainment Television and positive that Parvarrish season 2 will strike the right chord with the audiences.”
