Podcast Overview

Second Sunrises presented by Jos Alukkas is an intimate storytelling podcast that celebrates women who chose to rewrite their lives through remarriage, rediscovered love, or a renewed sense of self. It's about courage, joy, and the beauty of beginning again. In India, conversations around remarriage, especially for women, are still whispered. Second Sunrises brings them into the light. This is not a show about loss or compromise. It's about reclaiming happiness. About women who decided their story wasn't over, it was just beginning a new chapter. Through cinematic conversations, the series explores the emotional turning points, the quiet rebellions, the internal shifts, and the moments when these women realized: I deserve this. Hosted by Suhasini Maniratnam, the podcast features conversations with Mamta Mohandas, Pooja Bedi, Sudha Menon, Ramya Subramanian, Jwala Gutta, Pavitra Lokesh, and Vijaykrishna Naresh.

Finding Love Again | Pavitra Lokesh & Naresh Babu | Second Sunrises | EP 6

In the final episode of Second Sunrises, Pavitra Lokesh and Naresh Babu open up about finding love later in life, after navigating early marriages, separations, and public scrutiny. Naresh Babu reflects on being pushed into marriage at a young age, never truly learning how to navigate relationships, and facing loneliness despite a demanding career and life within a joint family. What began as a friendship on a film set slowly evolved through long, honest conversations. Together, they share how they stood strong through media chaos, blended their families of five children, and built a life rooted in simplicity - early mornings, work, shared meals, movies, and meaningful time together. This episode is a reminder that love doesn’t follow timelines. And sometimes, the most meaningful beginnings come after everything you thought was the end.
