TellyBuzz gives our readers exclusive news about the return of Zee TV's popular show, Chhoti Bahu..
Zee TV's Chhoti Bahu brought to fame Avinash Sachdev and Rubina Dilaik who are even today fondly known by their character names, of Dev and Radhika. The innocent love story of Dev and Radhika amidst the spiritual background was a super hit and gave a new momentum for early evening slots on the channel, and the viewers craved for more when the show abruptly shut shop in September.
However, here is a good news for the loyal fans of the show, as the channel is planning a Season 2 of Chhoti Bahu.
Our industry source informs us, "The channel recently did a research on the popularity of the show, and got to know that Chhoti Bahu is missed by one and all. Based on the feedback got from the research, the channel has given its approval for the creative work to start on Season 2. In fact, the broad story line has already been worked out by the channel and creative team. The story will not continue from where it ended, and will have a brand new track".
The charm of the show, Avinash Sachdev and Rubina Dilaik, we hear will certainly be part of Season 2.
"Avinash and Rubina are the main reason for the show coming back. Though their basic characteristics have been retained, they will be seen in new avatars. The spirituality factor that worked wonders for Chhoti Bahu will also find place in the new story line", adds our source.
DJ's Creative Unit will be producing the show, and the writers of the first season of Chhoti Bahu, Shilpa and Sushil will be writing the story and screenplay for Season 2.
When contacted, Rubina Dilaik claimed that this was news to her and said, "I am hearing this news from you. I really do not know whether Chhoti Bahu is coming back. We have not got any official information yet. But I simply hope your news is true. If Season 2 is coming, I will love to be part of it".
Avinash Sachdev though said that he had heard this buzz, "Yes, I have also heard that a Season 2 of Chhoti Bahu is on the cards. But there is no official confirmation got as of now".
If sources are to be believed, the channel plans to launch the Season 2 of its very popular show early next year.
Our source informs us, "The channel wanted to get the show on floor by December end. But that is a bit too early, and the channel now hopes to see the launch of the show by January 2011. The channel is scheduled to make an official announcement of Chhoti Bahu's return in the Zee Rishtey Awards which will be aired very soon".
We tried calling Producer Tony Singh, and even sent him a text message, but did not get any response..
We also sent a text message to Sukesh Motwani, Fiction Head, Zee Tv but did not get a revert.
Guess this is happy news for Chhoti Bahu lovers!! Now let's look forward to the official announcement coming from the channel'

'Choti Bahu': Will season 2 be better than the first?
'Choti Bahu', the popular television show on Zee TV is all set to stage a comeback on our television screens. It is true that when the soap went off air it was one of the most popular serials on Indian television, therefore disappointing a number of fans who loved the lead pair of Avinash Sachdev and Rubina Dilaik. But if reports doing the rounds are to be believed, 'Choti Bahu' will soon hit household TV screens again early next year.
In a statement to the media, a source close to the makers of ' Choti Bahu' confirmed the news saying that shooting work for the soap will begin next month as talks are on with a number of actors who will be roped in to play a variety of characters in the second offering.
The source also reveals that the producers have decided to bring in lead stars Avinash Sachdev and Rubina Dilaik on audience demand. Along with the two actors, many other old faces may also be considered for the second season of 'Choti Bahu'.
However, we only hope that this is not just a media speculation. Because stars associated with the serial said that nothing has been told to them on an official plane. In fact, even representatives from Zee TV refused to comment on hearing about a second season of 'Choti Bahu'!

Hypothetical sequels | |||
Buzz up! | |||
Dhanashri Kulkarni/Hill Road Media Bollywood has had a lot of sequels lately. So we thought that it would be apt if television shows had sequels to them as well. Recently on popular demand, Kitani Mohabbat Hain 2 was launched. So keeping this in mind, we thought that we would create our storylines for some of the more popular television shows that we would like to see back on television. | |||

The innocent love between the two characters (Dev and Radhika) amidst the religious backdrop was a big hit and gave a new thrust for early evening slots on Zee TV, and the watchers desired for more when the show suddenly ends in September.

Article 8: media247 - about axing MNR and CB coming (Sun_Singh)
http://media247.co.uk/bizasia/newsarchive/2010/11/zee_tv_to_axe_m.php
ZEE TV has wielded its axe yet again, this time on 'Mera Naam Karegi Roshan'.
The show, which launched in July has been under the scanner for several weeks now due to disappointing ratings.
'Mera Naam Karegi Roshan' has undergone several changes recently including changing the lead actress from Sana Sheikh with Amrapali Dubey in an effort to improve TRPs but even this failed.
Reports suggest 'Mera Naam Karegi Roshan' will end on ZEE TV India on Thursday 9th December and on Monday 13th December in the UK.
ZEE TV is planning to launch several new shows including 'Bhago Wali', 'Geeta' and the new series of 'Chhoti Bahu'. 😃 However its, Rajesh Joshi's show 'Sanskaar Lakshmi' which tipped to replace 'Mera Naam Karegi Roshan'.

Sequels of off-air shows in demand! - The Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tv-/Sequels-of-off-air-shows-in-demand/articleshow/7010618.cms#ixzz16jDj7Upr
Sequels of off-air shows in demand!
Sarah Salvadore, TNN, Nov 30, 2010, 12.00am ISTSo, the iconic "Hum Log" made a comeback as "Hum", the popular jodi of Karan Kundra and Kritika Kamra paired up again for "Kitni Mohabbat Hai ' Season 2" and talks are on to bring back "Choti Bahu" as well as "Banoo Main Teri Dulhan" in a new avatar to salvage the channels sagging TRPs.
Though the reality rage in the country is yet to die, avid TV watchers still swear by the good old soap operas. While the new crop of shows on TV fail to retain the attention of the audience for a long span of time, the older ones seem to be finding favour once again. Explaining the phenomenon, producer Rajan Shahi says, "These days it's difficult to hold the audience attention for a long time. If the show is not good, they reject it immediately. The recall value too has gone down drastically. Most of them seem like 'been-there-done-that'. Hence the shows that go off air find favour with the audience."
Producer Sudhir Sharma voices a similar opinion. "You need to be on your feet constantly with fresh ideas, twists, etc, to keep the audience attention. The moment you falter, it's over." His shows "12/24 Karol Bagh" wrapped up recently while "Miley Jab Hum Tum" created a furore amongst fans when a popular character, Nupur played by Rati Pandey, was bumped off. Though the show was revamped with new characters and brought back in a new season, it didn't really cut ice.
The concept of a new season, though not new, has found favour only now. Earlier when "Baa Bahoo Aur Baby" came back with a season, they didn't find many takers. "The audience needs to re-connect with the show and characters if the show is off air for long. Then there is also the relevance factor ' how relevant is the story now as compared to when it was aired earlier," says actor Rajesh Kumar. Shahi too points out that that one of the challenges of making a comeback is the 'relevance' factor. "The maker has to keep the USP of the show intact. If that means retaining the central characters and changing the others, then so be it. While keeping the story relevant to the current times, the makers have to add that much-needed freshness. It's tough," explains Shahi.
Ask them which show they would like to see make a comeback and they don't batter an eyelid before saying, "I think "Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai" was super. It will still work," says Rakesh who played the character of Rosesh in the show. "For me it would definitely be "Bidaai"," says Rajan, adding, "We pulled the plug on "Bidaai" before the audience rejected it. Hence the recall value too is high."
