Second Season
After several highly successful shows, Shafi Inamdar (who played Ranjit) left the show. However, with the huge popularity of the show, a repackaged second attempt was made with the underlying idea that Ranjit and Renu have moved abroad because of his work, while Raja is still staying at home with Ranjit's aunt, played by the legendary film character actress Farida Jalal, and a male servant, played by Javed Khan. Raja's love life and affair with Nivedita was the new center of activity. The second innings had a reasonably long run, but never reached the fame of the first episodes. Ranjit and Renu return for the final episode.
The alumni of this show went on to have chequered careers in Indian and other cinema over the coming years.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Business by no means forbids pleasures; on the contrary, they reciprocally season each other; and I will venture to affirm that no man enjoys either in perfection that does not join both.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
