Dipankar Sanyal (Jaideep Ahlawat) is all about those high TRPs, willing to do anything for the headlines, while Amina Quershi (Sonali Bendre) stands firm, fighting for truth, even if it means sacrificing ratings. Radha Bhargava (Shriya Pilgaonkar) is seen caught in the middle—fighting for integrity while dealing with the pressures of an industry driven by sensationalism. From fierce newsroom rivalries to the heart-pounding pressure of breaking news, The Broken News S2 premiered in 2024 and it is the kind of show that will have you glued to your screen, wondering just how much of our news is truly “broken.” It is a drama series with a conscience, served with a side of sharp wit and sizzling performances that are totally unmissable.
