MUMBAI: Following the trend of launching season 2 of popular shows, Star Plus show Mann Ki Awaaz - Pratigya will soon make a grand comeback after nine years on Star Bharat. The show had actors like Arhaan Behl and Pooja Gor playing the leads, while Anupam Shyam as Sajjan Singh rose to popularity with his stint. (Read here: Anupam Shyam, Arhaan Behl, and Pooja Gor bag Pratigya 2, but there's a twist)

TellyChakkar got in touch with Pearl Grey, who helmed the first season of the show and will be continuing with the second installment. In a candid chat, Pearl said, “Pratigya Season 2 was supposed to happen right after we wrapped the first season, but it got delayed considerably. Over the years, I kind of gave up hope for Pratigya 2. However, fans and viewers constantly demanded the show's return. The re-runs during the lockdown were much appreciated, and that’s when the channel decided to bring the show back.”

Pearl further added, “Merely in a span of a month, the return of the show with season 2 was planned. Everything was discussed and meetings were held, and the rest is history.”

We asked her about the pressure of expectations from the audience, she said, “Of course, there’s a lot of pressure, majorly because we can’t cater the same old show to the audience after nine long years. We’ve worked to portray things differently, keeping alive the essence of the show. Since the first season was super successful, the pressure is obvious on the makers to take the show a notch higher. We’re hoping that viewers will like Pratigya Season 2.”
