Star Plus has indeed been famous for pulling shows off-air rather suddenly in the recent times. And, looks like this time around, the news about not one but 5 of Star Plus shows going off-air has been an equally sudden one.

While Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara is all set to go off-air tonight itself, there are 4 other shows, including the likes of Ishqbaaaz, Naamkarann, Meri Durga and Ikyawann which will soon follow the suit.

Ishqbaaaz has been in the news for this reason for quite some time now, and though the show is immensely loved by the viewers, the TRPs of the show haven't really been on a high.

The other shows on the list have a similar story to tell, however, the most surprising of all is that of Ikyawann as it has only been 2 months since the show went on-air.

According to the reports in media, these shows will not see the light of the day post June 2018, and will gradually go off-air in order to make for the channel's strategy.

Also, the channel has 4 new shows in the making, The King's Daughter being one of them.

Are people crazy here to even think Star Plus will end their most watched & highest rated shows YHM & YRKKH? These 2 shows are only saving Star Plus's respect.

These shows deserves to go on as long as they entertain the viewers & continues to get good TRPs.

Flop shows like Riston Ka Chakra & Ikyawan needs to go air immediately.

Star Plus lost its ratings when it aired IPK 3 and it has been going down ever since.Ipk 3 destroyed their reputation and made it loose viewers.It has never been able to recover after that.
There is some you scratch my back I will scratch yours is going on in Star management and some producers
There is huge competition in the market.If they keep producing same regressive shows with no variety they will shut down in few years

Bad decision if they decide to pull the plug on Naamkarann, Ishqbaaaz & Meri Durga! They're gonna eventually lose more viewers & probably be the least watched channel soon.

Meri Durga is the slot leader. Naamkarann & Ishbaaaz have the most popular leading actors & always in Top-5 shows of Star Plus.

If Star Plus wanna get back in the game, they gotta do the following:

1. Promote the shows with more promos.

2. Give Mahasangams like Colors doing.

3. End Rishton Ka Chakvyuh which has terrible TRPs.

4. End Ikyawann

5. Bring more reality shows on weekend.

Star plus fell after it pulled off two good shows. There was no need to take Pardes off or to close IPK3. Both dramas were good. However star management is really bad. No sense up there.

I think Star plus was cursed by sarun fandom, fanatics like those doesn't let anyone enjoy anything in peace. In fact I think Sarun fans are the curse for Sanaya Irani and Barun sobti. Both are good actors but these sanaya and barun haters doesn't want them to succeed in their jobs.

Star plus lost it position in ratings and its viewers after launch of IPK3 .The downward spiral has continued ever since.The viewers which left Star have never gone back to Star.The management at Star seems to favour certain producers only and seems very reluctant to give chance to New ones..Some of the old PH are producing shows on same themes with nothing new.Hope that under new management this will be taken in to account.Plus as a female I hope Star wont be SEXIST in future and give equal importance to it's leads.
Star need a mix of shows like Romance.thriller and comedy as main stream shows and not only sas bahu Dramas .I understand that Indian TV will always have sas bahu dramas as they seem to be popular but there is a lot more that can be explored.

I hate this TRP game , becz of this trp drama some good shows get pulled off , Star Plus talk about new thinking, new begining , in their shows... what they really need is to change their thinking; its new era these days people are buzy with there jobs, family. men and women are both working, everything is running on fast pace. these days ppl watch tv on there time when they are free. My hubby is adoctor and big fan of Naamkaran and IB but he doesnt have time to watch show @ 9. for naamkaran. but He and I both catch up our shows on hotstar and youtube. this doent mean that we dont love these show its just we are very busy with our lives and like to do things and our own pace. its not fair to pull these shows. Why dont they(SP) work with hotstar and youtube or have their own app and from there, they can see how popular these shows are not only in india, but internationally they have huge viewers and lovers and followers. TRP is very old system ,if star plus want to grow they need to break this wall of TRP . and please make sure if you make your app its is also useable internationally and not geo blocked, my friends cant watch shows on hotstar becz of geo blocking, the other thing that is killing SP shows is too much roona dhona women always crying and men are always angry, come on! we have our own problems in our life when we sit in front of tv, phone, or ipad we want some lightness, some cute innocent romance, little nok jok(which will resolve in a week not more than that),honest person and values win ,and villan get the taste of their own medicine. your shows always have long (extra long)darktimes and sadness : where villan and bad intentions always winning(some times months)and after that very short term happiness(only 2-3 days if I get lucky) and during that time your shows dont dissapoint us , a family member is not happy with their relatives happiness, and start making plans to destroy/ kill/kiddnaped them i dont get it where is nahi soch in itedited...
