Kuch Toh Log Kahenge is on its way
out. The serial according to sources
will be taken off air by the end of
this month. Adapted from the Pakistani
soap Dhoop Kinare, Kuch Toh Log Kahenge
had created a lot of hype for its story and
casting. Mohnish Behl played a doctor who
falls in love with a girl half his age, essayed by Kritika Kamra. However, mid-way
through the serial Mohnish opted out and
Sharad Kelkar took over. Initially aired at 8
pm on Sony, it failed to garner good ratings
and was later shifted to the late night 11
pm slot where it did better. Producer Rajan
Shahi confirms, "Yes, we are winding up the
serial on March 28 but not because of any
problems. The channel would have liked the
show to continue for another seven-eight
months but Kritika wants to take a break
and I was clear that I cannot replace her as
Dr Nidhi. We did try convincing her to stay
on but she has her own reasons. I respect
her decision. We had a meeting with the
channel and decided to end it on a positive
note." The show, says Rajan, may not have
been high on the charts like his other shows
Bidaai and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai but
it has given him a lot of critical acclaim and
he is happy with the way it panned out.
