'Kituu' to go off air
Apparently, the cast of the serial, including protagonist Ami Trivedi, is left miffed at the sudden decision After Hours Correspondent
In a sudden turn of events, Sahara One has decided to pull the curtains on one of its popular serials 'Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai' from April 6. Rumours to this effect had been floating around for sometime but there had been no concrete statement given from the channel or the production house (Manish Goswami's Siddhanth Cinevision).
However, Kalyan Sundaram, the programming head of Sahara One has now made it official.
"Yes, it's true. 'Kituu…' is being pulled off air," he says.
Sundaram clarifies, "We decided to wind up the serial because the story demanded so. Every programme has to end somewhere and we thought that after getting Kituu and Rohan (the protagonists played by Ami Trivdei and Amit Varma) married, there was nothing more to exploit there." But to the actors, this move seems to be a sudden decision.
Ami, who played the title role remarks, "It's very depressing; one day you reach the sets to be told that you will not be shooting for the serial from tomorrow! We were all dumbstruck. But there's not much we can do about it." She continues, "Even the audience is refusing to believe it.
I received so many calls from my fans, protesting against the closure and asking for the serial to be continued. It's disheartening to say the least." Sundaram reasons, "We had conveyed this decision to the production house a long time ago. If they did not convey it to the actors, it's not our fault. Is it?" 'Kituu…' is expected to be replaced by the ongoing show 'The Comedy Champions'.
