After the huge success of Broken… but Beautiful, content czarina Ekta Kapoor is set to launch the second season of the much-loved web-show. She has joined forces with another leading OTT platform ZEE5 to ensure that the series reaches out to as many people as possible.
Headlined by Vikrant Massey and Harleen Sethi, Broken… but Beautiful 2 traces the lives of two individuals who are trying to move on from their disturbing past. They are constantly contemplating their feelings and even though they want to be with each other, they decide to distance themselves and choose different paths. However, destiny has something else in store for them.
Today, the makers did not only drop the trailer but also released the soundtracks of the second season of the series. The event witnessed the presence of the entire star cast and also Ekta Kapoor and Aparna Acharekar, Programming Head, ZEE5 India. Also present at the event were music composers Vishal Mishra, Akhil Sachdeva, Sandip Patil and Singer Anusha Hariharan Mani.
Talking about the upcoming second season, Ekta Kapoor said, “When I make shows, I express it from my heart! Some emotions can't be vocalized but they can only be experienced from the heart. Not every story has a happy ending, but life goes on and we too need to pick up the pieces and move on to heal. And when you break up with someone, a part of the process of moving on and leaving your baggage behind is also discovering yourself. This is what Season 2 of Broken...but Beautiful depicts."
Vikrant Massey shared, “Seeing the adulation and accolades that the first season garnered, I am absolutely delighted that the excitement ahead of the show’s release is at an all-time high. Shooting for season 2 was an absolute joy to reunite with the amazing cast and crew. I have given the show my all and I am extremely happy with the way the story has panned out. I hope audiences love what we have in store and enjoy it to their heart’s content.”
Speaking about her lead role of Sameera, Harleen Sethi said, “I was an almost newcomer before the first season, so expectations were minimal. But with the show reaching unprecedented heights, audiences now expect my character Sameera to deliver a power-packed performance. Shooting with such expectations was surely challenging, but that’s what brought out the best in me, I guess. With Season 2, audiences are in for an emotional roller coaster ride that they’re going to remember for a very long time.”
Broken…but Beautiful Season 2 is set to stream from 27th November, on ZEE5 and ALTBalaji.
Everyone is saying it: Diane Keaton is gone. They will list her Oscars and her famous films. Honestly, the real Diane Keaton? She was a wild mash-up of quirks and charm; totally stubborn, totally magnetic, just all over the map in the best way. Off camera, she basically wrote the handbook on being unapologetically yourself. No filter, no apologies. And honestly? She could make you laugh until you forgot what was bothering you. Very few people could do that. That is something special.
Diane Keaton never followed the rules and that’s why Hollywood will miss her forever Getty Images
Remembering the parts of her that stuck with us
1. Annie Hall — the role that reshaped comedy
Not just a funny film. Annie Hall changed how women in comedies could be messy, smart, and real. Her Oscar felt like validation for everyone who had ever been both awkward and brilliant in the same breath.
2. The nudity clause she would not touch
Even as an unknown in the Broadway cast of Hair, she had a line. They offered extra cash to do the famous nude scene. She turned it down. Principle over pay, right from the start.
3. The Christmas single nobody saw coming
3.At 78, she released a song. First Christmas. Not for a movie. Not a joke. Just a sudden, late-life urge to put a song out into the world.
4. The wardrobe — menswear that became signature
Keaton made ties and waistcoats a kind of armour. She was photographed in hats and wide trousers for decades. Style was not a costume for her; it was character. People still imitate that look, and that is saying something.
5. Comedy with bite — First Wives Club and more
She could be gentle one moment and sharp the next. In The First Wives Club, she carried the ensemble effortlessly, landing jokes while letting you feel the heartbreak beneath. Friends who worked with her spoke about her warmth and how raw she stayed about life.
6. A filmmaker and photographer, not just an actor
She directed, she photographed doors and empty shops, she wrote. She loved the weird corners of life. That curiosity kept her working and kept her interesting.
7. Motherhood, chosen late and chosen fiercely
She adopted Dexter and Duke and spoke about motherhood being humbling. She was not pressured by conventional timelines. She made her own map.
8. The last practical act
Months before she died, she listed her Los Angeles home. A quiet, practical move. No drama. It feels now like a final piece of business, a woman tidying her own affairs with clear-eyed calm.
9. The sudden end — close circle, private last months
Friends say her health declined suddenly and privately in recent months. She kept a small circle towards the end and was funny right up until the end, a friend told reporters.
10. Tributes that say it plain — “trail of fairy dust”
Stars poured out words: Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, all struck by how singular she was. They kept mentioning the same thing: original, kind, funny, utterly herself.

So, that is the list.
We will watch her films again, of course. We will notice the hats, laugh at the delivery, and be surprised by the sudden stab of feeling in a small, silent scene. But more than that, there is a tiny, stubborn thing she did: she made permission. Permission to be odd, to age, to keep making mistakes and still stand centre screen. That is the part of her that outlives the headlines. That is the stuff that does not fade when the credits roll.
