“We’ve addressed issues that every Indian family goes through in some form”: Varun Badola on Amazon MX Player’s Jamnapaar S2
MUMBAI, India, 24th October, 2025: After winning hearts with its heartfelt storytelling and relatable characters, Amazon MX Player’s Jamnapaar returns with a new chapter that’s deeper, braver, and more personal. Jamnapaar Season 2 goes beyond the ambitions and anxieties of middle-class India to explore what happens when modern values collide with age-old beliefs, opening up conversations that many families still hesitate to have.
This time, Shanky Bansal faces a new kind of battle, one that’s not about career or competition, but about conscience. Still reeling from the loss of his CA license, Shanky must now navigate questions of identity, integrity, and belonging, all while trying to hold his family together. Starring Ritvik Sahore, Varun Badola, Vijay Raaz, Shrishti Ganguly Rindani, and Ankita Sehgal, the series uses the Bansal family’s journey to reflect the emotional realities of countless Indian households.
Reflecting on the new season and its themes, Varun Badola, who plays Shanky’s father, KD Bansal, shares, “In Season 2, we’ve addressed issues that every Indian family goes through in some form. There’s a point where the father struggles to accept that IVF is doing its job. These are small but very real things. The truth is, in our society, some outdated mindsets still weigh heavily, and it was important for the show to address them with honesty. I think that’s what makes it resonate with people.”
By grounding complex social themes in everyday emotions, Jamnapaar Season 2 reminds us that real change often begins at home, in the most ordinary conversations.
Jamnapaar Season 2 is now streaming for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player available on mobile, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.
