India's romantic radio station Ishq 104.8 FM is all set to launch the second season of its iconic radio show, ‘Calling Karan’, hosted by Bollywood film maker Karan Johar. 

The show is slated to go on air from August 13, Monday to Friday, at 10 am and 8 pm.

Drawing inspiration from his own life's experiences, Johar gives listeners some straight up advice on love and relationships, interspersed with celebrity call-ins and interesting trivia.

A host of celebs, including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Anushka Sharma, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif were featured in its first season.

The station launched the second season at an event called The Love Conference, which featured Karan Johar, Imtiaz Ali, Neha Dhupia, Ranvijay Singh and Miss Malini in a panel discussion on modern day relationship issues.

It was followed by a stand-up act by Anirban Dasgupta and an unplugged musical performance by Jonita Gandhi.

Shivangini Jajoria, National Head, Operations, Ishq 104.8 FM said: “Ishq FM is constantly trying to raise the bar for engaging content. Be it Calling Karan, or Gaydio – India's first mainstream LGBTQ show, or Romance in Rome – which is probably India's biggest travel quiz show, our shows have struck an instant chord with the young adults. Ishq's promise of '70% less ads' is a win-win for both listeners and advertisers.”

Karan Johar said: “In season 2, I am not playing it safe. I am saying things as it is and it is going to be bold. I would say people should call me because they are going through a crises, just like how I'm going through a mid-life crises. We can all solve our crises together.”
