One of Indian television's most memorable celebrity talk shows, Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, is set to return in a new digital avatar. ZEE5 has announced the revival of the iconic series with R Madhavan stepping in as host, succeeding the late Farooq Shaikh, whose warm and heartfelt conversations made the original show a favourite among viewers.
The new edition, titled Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai 2.0, aims to continue the essence of the original while introducing it to a new generation of audiences on the streaming platform.
R Madhavan On Carrying Forward The Show's Legacy
In his statements about hosting the revived series, Madhavan said that social media has made the celebrities more accessible, but not much is known about the realities of their world.
He said that the original show stood out because it focused on meaningful conversations and offered viewers a chance to discover the people behind the fame. Calling the opportunity both an honour and a responsibility, the actor said the team hopes to retain the emotional core of the original while making it relevant for today's audiences.

What To Expect From The New Season

The show intends to present stories that highlight the human side of its guests rather than focusing solely on their achievements.
