Oct 19 (Reuters) - Indian shares fell over 1 percent for the second consecutive session on Friday, dragged by Reliance Industries Ltd RELI.NS after its second-quarter performance failed to please investors, while non-banking finance companies continued to face selling pressure.

The benchmark BSE index .BSESN closed down 1.33 percent at 34,315.63, shedding 1.2 percent over the week.

The broader NSE index .NSEI ended 1.43 percent lower at 10,303.55. It fell 1.6 percent during the week.
