Hasan Zaidi opens up on 'Zindagi Mere Ghar Aana' shockingly going off-air

In the past year, one of the better shows to be coming out has been in the form of Zindagi Mere Ghar Aana on Star Plus.

However, the show couldn't enjoy good ratings and is all set to wrap up on January 1. Leading man Zaidi opened up on the same to ETimes TV saying, “It is never a good feeling when your show goes off air. Of course, it is abrupt. Nobody was expecting it. There were talks of the show getting a new time slot. So, in a way, it is shocking.”

Hasan actually met with an accident in the first week of December and was looking forward to resume shooting. He said, “I am still recovering from the injuries I sustained during the accident. Honestly, I didn’t get any time to react to the accident or the news of our show going off air. The day my stitches came off, we were informed that the show is ending. Obviously, it is sad but there is nothing we can do about it. As actors and technicians, we tried our best to entertain the audience. The final decision is between the makers and the channel.”

The actor says that awareness around the show would have helped it generate more ratings. He shares, “Apart from writing, direction and performance, other factors, too, come into play to rake in the number. The machinery must work together. If there was more buzz and awareness about the show, it would have taken us beyond what we achieved and generated sustainable ratings. That was a bit disheartening, but we can’t do much about it.”

The unit will shoot for one more day before they call it a wrap. Ask him what next and he replies, “The news of ZMGA going off air hasn’t sunk in yet. I am getting offers, as people have learnt about the development. While I don't have a concrete plan, by default, it will be a two-week break before I take up a new project. I would need some time for full recovery.”
