Shriya Pilagaonkar is excited to return as feisty and fearless journalist Radha Bhargav in ZEE5 series Broken News Season 2, slated to premiere on May 3.

In the new season, Shriya’s character is ready to confront Dipankpar Sanyal played by Jaideep Ahlawat. “I am so excited about the new season of The Broken News. My character is back with a lot of vengeance. The story and my character will go through some unpredictable twists and turns,” she said.

Talking about the new season, the actress gushed about the way the new season will explore the human side of journalism. “Seeing the buzz around the new season and the love from the audience makes it even more exciting and encouraging. It’s fascinating how the human side of journalism is explored through our characters,” she also said.

The trailer for Broken News Season 2 dropped on April 16. Radha is the powerful character to be reckoned with in the series. Apart from Shriya and Jaideep, the show also features Sonali Bendre and Indraneil Sengupta in key roles.

Based on BBC Studios TV drama series Press (2018), The Broken News features two news channels — Awaaz Bharati News and Josh 24/7 — with opposing principles and a fierce rivalry. The story follows a set of dynamic journalists attempting to balance their lives while facing an uncertain future.
