Shraddha to make way for Mahayatra...

Siddhanth Cinevision's Shraddha on Star Plus, which focused on the girl of the family being the only support to her old parents, in fulfilling their dream of getting a darshan of the 'Chaar Dham' did not live up to its expectations, and never got a decent rating ever since its launch. 

As a result of this, Shraddha which launched on the auspicious day of Dussehra, on 28th September 2009 will be soon taken off air!!

According to our source, "Shraddha will end on 15th January 2010. And replacing it will be the much-anticipated reality show with a novelty, Mahayatra".

Well, the coincidence here is that, Mahayatra the reality show is also based on the concept of 12 doting sons taking their parents on a pilgrimage to the 'Chaar Dhaam'. The show will have an emotional connect with the audience as they will get to see the hurdles undertaken by the sons to fulfil their parents' wishes. The show will also witness various celebrities walking their way along with the 12 families. Manish Goel who was last seen in Zara Nachke Dikha will be seen hosting the show. Mahayatra is produced by Miditech.

Mahayatra launches on Star Plus on January 18th at the 7 pm slot and will be aired from Monday to Friday, the promos of which are already on air.

Neha Janpandit who plays Shraddha in the show confirmed the news, and said, "Yes, it is true that Shraddha is going off air". 

When called, Producer Manish Goswami told us that he is not in India.
