Shriya started by expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming love the first season received from the audience. She emphasized the rarity of getting a second season and the team’s determination to build on the foundation laid in season one.
“The first season was loved by a lot of people. Our show was based on the BBC original show Press, which didn’t get a second season. I think the best part of part two is that a certain foundation was laid. The audience was very excited about it.” There was already a certain familiarity with the characters, so the writers and actors really went the extra mile to try to raise the bar and see what they could do to enhance the existing story,” the actress said. Said this while talking about the second season of Breaking News which will be released on Zee5 on May 3. Additionally, while discussing Radha’s journey, Shriya revealed a few things about the character’s transformation from season 1 to season 2. But in the second part, there are more things that come into view.
Shreya said: “I think the biggest difference with Radha Bhargava is that in the first season we saw her as a journalist with a strong work ethic and values who very sincerely wanted to do the best job possible. An honest way to tell the story, however, we saw how she was wrongly maligned and labeled as anti-national and a terrorist and was sent to jail. Now, in the second season, Radha appears in a huge way. Internal conflict because she takes things too personally.
“She’s back with a vengeance, specifically because she wants to take down Dipanka (Jadeep’s character). So, for her, it’s no longer just her larger goal; it’s her goal. We Seeing her lose control of herself somewhere. She’s very aggressive now and making some choices that you’ll see in season two, which is very different from the Radha we saw before in S01. It’s just. The result of anger and feeling betrayed,” she added
“Honestly, it’s exciting for me because as Shriya, I would never have to make these choices. But it’s always fun to play characters that are so different from yourself. I think Radha is coming into her own. A journey of discovery. She tries to understand who she is in the world as Jaideep’s Dipanka is well aware that she is driven by power, while Sonali’s Amina is driven by a certain work ethic. Driven. Radha realizes that there has to be a balance, so she’s someone who takes things personally and now comes back in a very unpredictable, different way that’s hard for people around her to digest because of her. Has changed. Sometimes harsh circumstances and challenges change you until you realize something,” the actress concluded.
