Looks like the makers of the controversial television show Pehredaar Piya Ki are not done yet.
Even though the show was pulled following severe backlash from viewers and a petition signed by over 1 lakh people demanding its ban for the regressive and cringy content, now the makers are back to roll out a sequel of the show.
A report said that the storyline of Pehredar Piya Ki sequel would continue post a leap of 12 years.
