MUMBAI: Zee Marathi is launching the new season of its chat show ?Khupte Tithe Gupte? on 7 November.

To be hosted by Avadhoot Gupte, the first episode of this new season will witness Narayan Rane as the guest.

In an unusual act, Rane will be seen expressing his respect towards the Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray on the show.

"I have utmost respect for Balasaheb Thackeray. I call him the king of Maharashtra and Marathi people. I had to leave Shiv Sena as my presence in the party was causing rifts between Balasaheb and his son. Being an honest party worker, I was ready to obey Balasaheb but I could not do the same for his son. So, I moved out in order to maintain peace between the father and son", Rane said when asked about his reason behind leaving the party.

The show will air every Wednesday and Thursday at 9.30 pm.
