How does one make a show on infidelity and not paint the other woman in a negative light? Can the former and the current wife share a glass of wine without wanting to break it over each other’s heads? Is there life after divorce for an Indian housewife? Does a woman need to give her career less priority post marriage?

The answer to all the above questions would probably be a ‘NO’ in capital letters, had it not been for the vision of ALTBalaji and their progressive writers. Don’t take our word for it. Just watch the second season of Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain. For us, as well as millions of others, the successful season one and its sequel that has garnered over 3X viewership already; it has ushered in a new age of mature love stories. This season takes the complex matters of hearts ahead by asking the question, “Will the heart, ever be happy with what it has?”

The story of Rohit (Ronit Roy), who gets married to his girlfriend Ananya (Mona Singh) after a divorce from his wife Poonam (Gurdeep Kohli), has been handled beautifully without glorifying infidelity. Gone are the clichés and stereotypes. Instead, what you get is a mature handling of a difficult subject and characters that are relatable. Rohit, Ananya or Poonam could be any of us.

The heartwarming response it has generated has been nothing short of amazing — Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain season 2 breaks every stereotype existing and has been built up as a 360-degree campaign winning hearts. It has already struck the right chord with audiences across all social and digital platforms globally. The show’s social media content has already hit 35 million+ views in a few days and shows no signs of stopping. Influencers and celebrities across India have applauded the show and called it extremely relatable. They have also praised the performances of the lead cast calling them, ‘outstanding.’ The platform has seen a 200 per cent surge in traffic due to millions of viewers logging on to see the grey area that exists in relationships; to gauge between right and wrong, which Ananya, Rohit and Poonam deal with.

With people hooked on to this show, it won’t be surprising if a third season is announced. After all, everyone wants to know what happens next in the lives of some of their favourite characters. One question that plagues us all is — will the heart ever rest easy with what it has?
