Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai turns a year old

Star Plus' number one daily soap, Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai has reason for a double celebration. Not only has it successfully completed a year but on this occasion, the producer of the show, Rajan Shahi and the channel have decided to extend the time slot of the show, now making it a one hour daily.

Rajan Shahi is elated on the successful completion of a year as he says, "Owing to the show's huge success and popularity, the channel asked us to change the time slot to one hour. And with Bidaai now being aired for an hour, we need to deliver even more and need to meet up with the channel's expectations. I was out of station and have just returned today, so I still need to sit and discuss with the channel and then take things further. For now, all I know is that the one hour slot is for a certain time frame but am not sure if it may extend or not."

Telecast of the show for an hour begins from Monday, 13^th October. The first episode will kick start with the Taj Mahotsav event. It will run for an hour and the finale will show the meeting of the two lovers Ranveer and Ragini. The upcoming episodes will also see an interesting turn of events. The slated time for the show is now from 9 - 10 pm.

This means there will be changes in the timings of Kasturi. We tried contacting Nivedita Basu, Creative Head, Balaji Telefilms, for more details on the changes in the time slot of Kasturi, but she was unavailable for comments.

But, whether the time of Kasturi changes or not, it's party time for the cast and crew of Bidaai. We wish them loads of success for the years to come.
