Last season, the show created waves as celebrities from different walks of life surprised viewers with their candid revelations about the inner workings of their minds through adversity. With the launch of the second season of the show, we are looking forward to extending the conversations across a larger audience group and engaging them further about daring to dream and achieving success they have strived for.”
Kher added, “Through my experiences in the industry, I have learnt that giving up is never an option; it is only an escape route from the challenges that could in fact, be monumental in shaping one’s lives. 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.”
