In its fourth season, ‘Gumrah – End Of Innocence’ will continue to decipher the psyche of teenagers and understand the stress and pressures of modern life that is levied on them. Each episode tells of a shocking tale of heinous crimes committed across the country by the innocent driven to a moment of insanity. As we have reported earlier, the show will be hosted Abhay Deol, who will be accompanied by a celebrity in each episode. Every hour-long episode in the new season will focus on a celebrity who will take of a teen crime story that they have experienced or witnessed in the course of their lives.
Commenting on the new season of the show, Ajit Thakur – EVP and Business Head for Channel V said, “The show is about the youth, their tryst with crime and the circumstances which led to the incident, rather than sensationalizing the crime or the criminal himself. Over the years, the show has gained popularity with its exceptional content and execution and we are upping the ante this time around, hoping to really get the message across.”. The host, Abhay Deol added that, “I’ve been a huge fan of the show and am excited to be a part of the greater message. Gumrah focuses on the thought that nobody is born a criminal but instead circumstances and certain unforeseen incidents take you down a bad path. The idea is to not only educate parents, families but also the youth.”
