STREAMING platform Prime Video has released the teaser for the second season of its popular series, Paatal Lok.

The teaser, shared on Prime Video’s official social media pages on Friday, features actor Jaideep Ahlawat reprising his role as Hathi Ram Chaudhary, a police inspector entangled in gripping mysteries.


The teaser offers a glimpse of Ahlawat’s character narrating a new story. Similar to the first season, which drew inspiration from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the new season continues the trend of presenting allegorical tales.

Standing in an elevator, Hathi Ram narrates the story of a man who kills a bug under his bed, believing the problem is resolved.

However, he soon faces a swarm of insects. "Poor guy, he thought he killed one insect and the game is over. That's not how it works, not down here in Paatal Lok," Ahlawat says in the teaser.

Actors Ishwak Singh and Gul Panag will return for the second season, joined by newcomers Tillotama Shome, Nagesh Kukunoor, and Jahnu Barua.

The series is written and created by Sudip Sharma, with the second season directed by Avinash Arun Dhaware.

Paatal Lok Season 2 is a Clean Slate Filmz production in collaboration with Eunoia Films LLP. The eight-episode season will premiere on Prime Video on 17 January.

Ananya Panday slams Bollywood double standards on Lilly Singh’s podcast after body-shaming and surgery rumours

Ananya Panday is no stranger to the spotlight, but she’s also tired of being stuck under a microscope. In a recent chat with Lilly Singh on her podcast Shame Less, the actor spoke honestly about the constant criticism of her body and the double standards women face in the film industry.

Ananya recalled the early days of her career when, at 18, she was mocked for being too thin. Terms like “chicken legs” and “matchstick” were thrown at her regularly. “They said I had no boobs, no butt, like a flat-screen,” she shared. Fast forward a few years, and as her body naturally changed, new rumours popped up, but this time accusing her of undergoing cosmetic surgery. “Now they say I’ve had my butt done. You can never win,” she said.

Breaking Boundaries: Bibi Rukiya's Reckless Daughter

Bold New Dance-Theatre at Birmingham Hippodrome!

This May, Birmingham Hippodrome will present Bibi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter, a powerful dance-theatre production by acclaimed choreographer Amina Khayyam. Running on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 May, the show explores how patriarchy is not only imposed by men but also reinforced by women within family structures. Through a striking fusion of contemporary and classical South Asian dance, the performance offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on tradition, control, and female agency.

Bibi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter highlights the often-overlooked role women play in maintaining patriarchal values. Mothers, grandmothers, and other female relatives sometimes enforce social rules that restrict younger women’s freedom, passing down expectations through generations. Khayyam’s choreography captures this tension, portraying the conflict between obedience and rebellion with emotional intensity.
