Kajol is set to reprise her role as Noyonika Sengupta in the second season of "The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha," scheduled to premiere on September 19, 2025, on JioHotstar. The announcement was made through a quirky video released by JioHotstar, featuring Kajol humorously addressing the notion of her "comeback". She playfully dismissed the idea, stating that she never really left, as she has been consistently active in her career.
The series, directed by Umesh Bist and produced by Banijay Asia, features a stellar cast including Karanvir Sharma, Kubbra Sait, Alyy Khan, Sonali Kulkarni, Sheeba Chadha, Jisshu Sengupta, and Gaurav Pandey. "The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha" is an Indian adaptation of the American series, "The Good Wife," which was produced by CBS Studios in association with Scott Free Productions and King Size Productions with the format rights that are licensed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
In the newly released video, Kajol begins by casually asking, "Haan batao, kya karna hai?". She starts to announce, "Hi, I'm Kajol and I'm happy to announce that I'm coming back…", but stops abruptly, seemingly annoyed by the word "comeback". She jokingly says, "Comeback? Phir se? Hadd ho gayi yaar! Kitni baar comeback karungi main? Non-stop kaam karo, phir bhi I'm making a comeback? Gayi kahan thi main?". A crew member then points out that she's reading the wrong side of the cue card. Amused, Kajol smiles and restarts, officially announcing her return with Season 2 of "The Trial—Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhokha".
Fans have expressed their excitement and amusement, praising Kajol's comic timing and unfiltered charm. The series delves into themes of betrayal and justice, with Kajol bringing her signature sass to the courtroom.
Kajol shared her excitement about returning to the character, noting Noyonika's growth in the legal world. "Professionally, it has been an incredibly enriching year for me - I've had the chance to explore a range of characters & stories and among them, Noyonika remains especially close to my heart," she said. "From being an underdog in the first season to having found her footing in the cut-throat legal world, I've loved stepping back into her shoes. I genuinely can't wait for all of you to experience what we've created this season. It's been a labour of love".
Picking up where Season 1 left off, Noyonika will face high-stakes decisions, personal betrayals, and new courtroom drama as she navigates the merciless world of law in Season 2. The makers hint that "the courtroom is just one of many battlegrounds!" this season.
The first season revolved around Noyonika Sengupta, a stay-at-home mother and law school graduate who returns to her legal career after her husband is arrested in a public scandal. Season 2 will see Noyonika trying to reestablish her legal career, facing hardships while seeking justice for her clients and her husband.
With "The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha" Season 2 set to stream on JioHotstar from September 19, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Noyonika Sengupta's journey.
