As we return with the second season of the show, the aim was to make The Anupam Kher Show – Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai an endearing proposition that strikes an emotional chord with viewers while narrating a tale of positivity and perseverance. I hope that the nuggets of inspiration that we have been able to extract from the guests this year will appeal to viewers and convince them that the silver lining will find them in even the most clouded situations.”
