In the second season of Taaza Khabar, Vasant Gawde aka Vasya (Bam), who was granted the ability to foresee the future through his smartphone, embarks on a new journey as his destiny takes a new turn.

Bam said he is grateful to the audience for showering love on the first season of Taaza Khabar and now waiting to see their response to the new chapter.
“Taaza Khabar is just not a series, it depicts the graph of my life. Playing Vasya was effortless because for most parts he is a mirror to me. His ambition to reach the stars and his zeal to live a better life and serve his family to the fullest is all I ever dreamt of.
"I am so grateful to the audiences for the outpouring of love they have showered on Vasant Gawade on Disney+ Hotstar. This time, they will experience newer complexities in the character and I can’t wait for audiences to witness that,” Bam said in a statement.
