Episode 1 of Season 2 was on Bahurupi tribe exploring how this nomadic artist community survived during Corona. Bahurupi are known as multi-facet people and they survive on performing in disguise like doctor, lawyer, deity, lord Shiva, Lord Rama, Police Inspector etc. But due to Corona their nomadism got stopped and they had to beg for survival. Some of people were also arrested by the police and brutally beaten up for going out during lockdown. In a nutshell, the episode focuses on Bahurupi community's day to day survival during corona and to bring out people's narratives about their suffering.
