Jay Soni in Sasural Genda Phool 2

It is never heartening when a show goes off-air in less than a few months after coming on air. But this gets all the more sad when the show in question is a sequel to a longrunning success. That is the case with Star Bharat's Sasural Genda Phool 2.

The show, as we know is a sequel to Sasural Genda Phool and went on-air back in December. However, in less than four months, the show is all set to call it a wrap and go off-air. Leading man Jay Soni is obviously disappointed with the same but he believes in moving on and is proud o f the show they made.

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Soni said, “Yes, the show is ending but I have no complaints or regrets. We made a good show. It’s just that we couldn’t get the audience we had expected. There could be multiple reasons. You can’t pin the blame on anyone in particular. Everything was in place and I am proud of the team associated with the show. Also, I can’t comment on how one gets the audience, as I don’t understand that aspect. As far as I am concerned, I got good feedback from people who watched the show. The makers have appreciated my work because Ishaan (Jay’s character in SGP) in the second season was different from the previous one. So, the actor in me is happy.”

He adds, “I am obviously sad and disappointed but one has to accept it. It takes time to sink in but jitna jaldi kar lo achha hai. Whatever starts will end someday. You can’t do anything about what’s beyond your control, especially when you know that you are doing everything right. As an actor, I strive to be loyal to my work. Despite the development, no one in the team has become complacent. We are still very positive and working with conviction. Kabhi paasa padta hai toh padd jaata hai aur kabhi nahi padta toh naho hota hai.”

Though the show is shutting down, the actor will always be proud of this association. He says, “I know I gave my best. I am very proud of SGP 2 and will always be. People say a lot of things when a show ends but my reply will be ‘ Kuchh toh log kahenge’. Such comments don’t bother me anymore. It would have really affected me if someone had to say that my performance wasn’t up to the mark. Acting is my passion. It’s not just about reporting on a set and exiting it at a fixed time and signing the log. My focus is on delivering a good performance and that’s exactly what I did in SGP 2 as well.”

We are sure the fans will miss the sequel as much.

This show should've been named as "Ganda Fool 0.2" actually. Kyunki yeh kisika bhi pyaara sa Sasural toh hai hi nahin. Sirf toxicity and unrealistic scenes se bhara hua hai. Original Sasural Genda Phool is classic and iconic show. And as much as I love SGP1 a lot, I hate SGP2 soo much.

This sequel has many flaws and bloopers too. There were 25 members in Kashyap family in SGP1 and just 11 members in Kashyap family in SGP2. Where are KK Bajpai, Deepak, Sanjana, Radha Bua, Shanti maasi, Dolly didi, Gopi kaka, Meena, Raunak, Panna di, Panna di's baby(she was pregnant when S1 ended), Raunak's parents, etc. Why is Badi Maa still wearing mangalsutra again when she had discarded it in S1? See the hypocrisy... Badi Maa will still wear mangalsutra and cling on to that Ishwar Kashyap but gives speeches on getting Ishaan remarried. Why can't she remarry first? Like this, there are many other bloopers too which I've pointed out on Twitter. Everyone became so selfish. No light hearted family show essence at all. That rich setup looks so awful. The editing looks so bad, dialogues doesn't have depth and storyline is a copy of many other shows like CKMDK, IB, NAUC, YRKKH2, ZMGA, Bidaai, SNS1, PKDHMMPP, etc. This isn't real life that you accept everything which comes your way with a smile. It's a fictional show and these matters are very much in makers and channel hands. I would've said the same even if it's Ishaan or Badi Maa whose character has been K!lled off. Sasural Genda Phool is nothing without Ishaan, Suhana and Badi Maa. And these makers have even removed the og writer Zama Habib Sir too. And brought in some useless writers Preeti Mamgain and Malvika Asthana. This fl Shagun Sharma is also isn't upto the mark. She's just mediocre. And on top of it, she and her cousin sister Yaaneea Bharadwaj were doing drama and called S1 fl Ragini names openly on Insta. Calling S1 fans who had pointed out the mistakes as paid and fake accounts! I just hate it when someone k!lls off one of the lead and makes the other one love someone else. And here, these ppl were forcing Ishaan to remarry when he didn't want to. Why can't he stay single? There are many ppl who stay single and it's nothing wrong. They've done the same with Kartik Goenka too. Just off air it asap #StarBhar

This sequel just shouldn't have been made ever. It legit spoils the reputation which SGP1 has. Even if they had to make a sequel then they should've not shown it as a continuation from the previous season. K!lling Suhana and making Ishaan fall in love with a thief is just so stupid and traumatic to loyal fans of SGP1! Not done. A completely different name/family would be accepted. But not this. It's very good that this crap sequel is going off air soon. And Jay Soni... I used to admire him a lot, but wth is this!! He's defending and praising this lacklustre sequel.🤦‍♀️ It's really embarrassing. My respect for Erica has increased manifold after watching him praising SGP2. KRPKAB3 team had openly accepted that KRPKAB3 is shit. Then what's with Jay and Supriya ji showering fake praises on it? And yes... "log" are the ones who watch your show and give it TRP's. Who will watch your show if not "log"? Hum toh kahenge hi... ki this SGP2 is a huge shit.

The positivity S1 of SGP had was its best part. The way they tried to convey, that sasural can also be a happy place, MIL can be supportive and caring, even a high headed girl can mellow down before the love of family.... so much was there. And therefore it was loved. Also not to forget, there were serious issues too, handled amazingly. Like a rape victim leading her life with dignity, a DIL admired by her in laws when her husband abandoned her.
Sooo many things were there, which I don't know why the creatives, writers, director overlooked.
Talking about radha, sanju, deepak, KK, Panna all were missing, as if you forgot them.
Talking about badi maa, who boldly removed her sindoor because his husband's presence was for no good (and then in S2 she is again carrying that sindoor and mangalsutra... I mean What the..)
There are n no. of things that went wrong. Hence its going off air is completely justified.

The new girl was good with her role, the character of Titlee was also nice. She was craving for love and everything perfectly fine. But if it would have been a new story and not the forwarded story of Kashyaps, would have done a lot better.

We'll always love SGP it is still the best show I have seen!

The kind of 2nd hand embarrassment I felt whenever I came across him bragging about this show. I can't explain but I wish I could.

When an old successful show is remade, fans expect almost the entire starcast in the new season too, specially the leads. SGP was always about Ishaan and Suhana. Fans got disappointed when there was no Suhana. Also, the essence of the original show is missing. Why does Ishaan have to wear suits at home when all the other characters have the same look like the previous show? It looked like Ishaan is no more a simple, down to earth guy and is doing show off. Secondly, I didn't like the way the family was forcing Ishaan to go for second marriage when he was just not interested. The new FL had no chemistry with Jay. Their majboori marriage also spoiled the essence. They should have given the show and the characters different names then probably it would have worked.

All the best for Shagun, Jay, Supriya, Sooraj, Shruti, Daljeet and other cast and veterans of the show.

If it was a show with different name instead of SGP, it would not have got much hatred from audience. The flaw in the show is it's name or technically the absence of Ragini. Otherwise the story is good until they started the wedding track between Ishaan and Avni. Then it got flooded with negativity. But still it makes some point in the story somewhere. I think this show is lot better than other SB shows especially that Albela nonsense and other shows in main GECs excluding a few.

Ragini was and is the xfactor of sasural genda phool. Show was not engaging without her. Also star bharat is not a popular channel

Suhana was the USP of the show and if u kill her how can they really expect people to watch it ?
