I have been curious for some time as to who shut down Jodha Akbar. ZEE or Ekta. I know now. Please have a look at the article which I got from bestmediainfo.com.

Two points emerge from the article given below-

1 The decision to shut down JA was all ZEE, Ekta had nothing to do with it. In fact Ekta and team had wanted to continue

2 I had thought that all this talk of 2nd season for JA was all empty talk. But it is not so. If the creative head thinks of a possibility of a 2nd season for JA, then maybe Ekta thinks too.

Imagine the scenario, Ekta learns from post leap debacle. Goes back to drawing board, reboots JA, Ekta tries to give the same quality as we had in the 1st year of JA. Imagine all the stories that the 1st iteration of JA missed, stories like Sati, Din I Ilahi, Sulh I Kul etc.

And then imagine that the show comes on a different channel than ZEE and demolishes any competition that the ungrateful ZEE puts in front of it. We can dream can't we.

As for the article, here it is-

Commenting on the closure of Jodha Akbar', Zee TV Business Head Pradeep Hejmadi, said, "Being a historical serial, Jodha Akbar' had a finite storytelling to it. It had completed its quantum of storytelling."

Offering a somewhat different take, Creative Head Sujata Rao, said, "There were a lot of historical points which were still to be explored, but I really can't comment on the channel's decision to shut down the show. We've had a wonderful experience and we want to end the show on a good note. We hope that ratings increase in the final episodes and people would then crave for a second season of Jodha Akbar'."

TFS.

There are number of questions, loyal fans would like to know the replies of - who took the decision for absolutely idiotic 15 to 20 odd years leaps?

Who changed the end of HH track, the punishment to Ruk?

Why they could not hold onto the original writers?

These 3 decisions ruined a wonderful show. Fans were crazy about JA, not just in India but so many countries.

We can hope for second season, why not? I used to hope for a leap back to HH track end - where Jalal shuts up Ruk, asks her what Zeenat was doing in Jodha's hojara? Ruk is punished by Jalal breaking off relations. Jalal and Jodha come closer together in pain and they can start season 2.

It should be clear to zee that fans are crazy for RT PS. Nobody cares for SA.

I saw the promo of show scheduled to replace JA, seems typical SAS bahu bubble gum kind.

yes we can dream for JA season 2

for that we fans have to request ekta and balaji very strongly and also we should give grand ending for season 1 with high TRP if we do these two things chances for season 2 is high

PS: i want season 2 with same cast but in a different channel not in this culprit channel zee

from the starting only we know that its nt ekta decision its zee decision

there is alot of story left

but zee bekari channel cant afford history show from long period of time so they decided to end it

in zee more then four show who have lower trp then JA and the show have no story too but

still zee give them a chance where JA have many story left still zee axe JA

zee will repent it soon

first they bring SA and destroy JA then end it abruptly

If Balaji telefilms is considering a second season of JA...who will play Jodha and Akbar, coz... i doubt if Paridhi and Rajat would play grandparents in that and i dont' think viewers and their fans would like that, so shutting down is the best, is my POV.

Thank you Donjas for sharing the news. Now, we know who to blame for shutdown of JA which is Zee not EK, cast or crew.

i would love to watch Second Season of JA byt only if it is with PariJat and Cvs from first six months with focus on Akdha and THEIR political, historical, social, religious and economical achievements.

@bold in blue - 👍🏼

And as one of our forums friends said that season 2 should start with HH death - show Akdha together in pain.

Hope and pray that this happens and ekta airs the show on any channel but Zee
