SonyLIV navigates through the complexities of love with #LoveBytes – Season 2
SonyLIV is back with season 2 of its signature show #LoveBytes
What happens when the one you love turns away from you when you need them the most? To come to terms with such situations and move on, takes a toll on the emotional well-being of a person. Amidst the process of moving on, what happens if someone you once loved revisits you?
Do you turn away or you give love a second chance? Addressing this confusing state of mind that most of us go through, SonyLIV takes on the ever-debatable concept of love, break-ups, unrequited love and the repercussions of the ‘second chances’ with the second season of its signature web series #LoveBytes, with LuvIt. Chocolates as the presenting sponsor, powered by Nobroker.
Season 1 of #LoveBytes instantly struck a chord with the audience due to the relatability of the content. The series beautifully encapsulates the nitty-gritties of relationships and sheds light on the things that are necessary for an urban relationship to sustain itself. The first season took us through the clicks and clashes between Ananya (Sukhmani Sadana) and Abhishek (Kushal Punjabi), a new-age couple.
The first season ended on a bitter note with the lead couple Ananya and Abhishek ending their relationship. After the huge success of season 1, the second season takes on from there and revolves around how the two of them are dealing with their lives after choosing their individual paths. This season also introduces new characters like Gunjan (Shweta Gulati), Varun (Manish Goel), Soniya (Manasi Scott) and Vikram (Ayaz Khan) who impact the relationship of Ananya and Abhishek in their own ways. The series underlines the journey of these characters, all while discovering the true meaning of love. Follow the link, to watch the promo.
