Hotel Kingston will close


Contract is due to expire; no new season for show as of now


Shweta Teotia


It is official. Hotel Kingston, currently being aired on Star One, is going to close shop soon. The weekly one-hour show is now going to showcase its last few episodes.

Producer Amrit Sagar says he was aware of the approaching end: "Yes. It is true. But it is only because of the contract policy of the channel. We had a fifty-two episode contract with Star One which is getting over." Will there be another season? Sagar says, "We are looking at another run after some time." He is also quick to add that the show may close down permanently.

Recently, Hotel Kingston featured a gala episode. Why have such a big do during the final stages of the show? Sagar says, "It doesn't matter if the show is ending. We like to give the best to our viewers. Hotel Kingston has always retained its class."

The show, which revolves around the love story of lead characters Shelly and Vish, is set against the backdrop of a hotel. Shelly wants to preserve the hotel, a legacy handed down from her father. She and Vish also get involved in some mysteries surrounding the hotel.

As the show comes to an end, Sonal Sehgal aka Shelly Sahay of Kingston is looking at entering films. Sagar himself is engaged in a new directorial venture, a film called 1971 which explores the lives of prisoners of war and stars Manoj Bajpai among others.

Doesn't look like the cast and director of Hotel Kingston seriously believe the show is going to provide them boarding and lodging in a hurry…

Hi,

Hotel Kingston is a lovely serial. I have seen it regularly and enjoyed every moment of the story. Its a very nice setting and very well taken. Vish and Shelly and also all the actors are very well blended. Every show is a showpiece of its own.

I was very touch with that serial where Vish is expelled from the part room by both the MD and MD's father. I am sure Hotel Kingston will now close forever or would change hands to Akash Goenka! or it may also take a filmi turn...

Do continue the good show and please do make such teleserials.

Regards,

Rajeev

HK is a very nice serial. My favorite.
One of the sweetest love story on TV is nicely combined with weekly events in the hotel.

I have just joined this forum, but I have written lots of replies in the Forum of Star One's site ( of indya.com)

I wish our support makes a difference and serial goes INTO THE NEXT SEASON.

I would not be happy with Star One if they will take this serial off air.
If Star One has to grow, it has to add serials - and not replace existing good serial which has definitely made a mark on it's own merit.

I want to think positive & believe producers statement that they r looking for another run after sometime.

For that I am going to keep writing to S-one,Produccers.
Also written a mail in response cell specially addressed to Apni Tuning..
Let us all write this wk. to Apni Tuning & see if there is mention about our response.

DO U THINK IF SERIAL HAD NOT DRAGGED NICK EPISODES AND RETAINED THE CHARM WHICH IT HAD BETN. MARCH & MAY ,
WE WOULD HAVE RECD. DEFINITE NEWS OF HK COMEBACK ?

Producers/director it is time now to cheer us up.
