Star Plus' magnum opus show, 'Siya Ke Ram' has been a revelation since its inception. The unique take of presenting Ramayana from Goddess Sita's (Madirakshi Mundle) perspective instantly clicked with the fans and made it a sensation.

Over the time, the show has been getting better and better courtesy Ashish Sharma's excellent portrayal of Lord Ram apart from convincing performances of the whole cast.

But the sad part about telecasting an epic saga is that we know it will surely END, and sometimes quite sooner than other daily soaps.

And similar was the fate of 'Siya Ke Ram', as the show was slated to go off-air in October.

But, don't worry fans, the show has managed to get an extension and will now be going off-air in mid-November. Star Plus' array of shows which include Arjun Bijlani-Drashti Dhami starrer, 'Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil' will be going on-air soon and Rajat Tokas-Shweta Basu Prasad starrer, 'Chandra Nandini' will be going on-air in the second week of October.

But paving the way for these mega-shows, 'Siya Ke Ram' will go for a time-slot change and will stay on-air till November.

We contacted Ashish who said, "Well this happens with several shows day in and day out. Sometimes, shows go off-air earlier than expected while sometimes they run longer than anticipated. So, it is not something new."

He added, "Having said that, it is a feeling of extreme elation when you realise that your work has been appreciated and loved. You feel that your hard work is rewarded and that motivates you to work harder. I feel great that we were able to portray the epic saga of 'Ramayana' which has been shown so many times and still, not being monotonous, we managed to keep the viewers glued. So, it's a great thing and I couldn't be happier for the show and the whole team."

On being asked if he has plans set once the show goes off-air, Ashish said, "Well, as soon as the show goes off-air, I will be going on a long break for about 6 months as I have been away from family and friends for more than a year now in Hyderabad. And now, I will take a break and will then think on future ventures."

Well, Ashish, we will surely miss you when you will be off-screen and can cherish the few days of 'Siya Ke Ram'..
