I would have still accepted it if they had to continue airing foreign shows on their online channel but their reasoning is utter rubbish. Indian shows are the worst of all (being an Indian I feel bad to admit it but it's true). They won't be airing anymore foreign shows to promote crappy shows. Can't take this.

Why did they then start airing these shows? Their patriotism speech is getting on my nerves. They can copy foreign shows and remake them but airing the original ones makes them realize they need to be patriotic. Every second movie is a copy of foreign movies. Same goes for the TV shows as well. 🤪

Well I don't think that the channel is shutting down due to one factor whether it is not airing pak shows and airing dubbed shows of other country. I think buying content from any country is costly yah maybe pak is selling their serial at low price compared to turkey or Korea. The fact remains is that the channel would have shut even if pak shows were not banned becoz-

There is limited viewership of zindagi compared to Hindi serials

Hindi TV industry sees airing foreign content as a threat though its a baseless fear and majority of people shifting to zindagi seemed like a dream even in long run.

Zee limited is a patriotic business house. This means that in any way if anybody question them regarding their airing content going against national interest, they eradicate that. This happened with stopping of pak serial which was kind of justified and is again happening now. If zindagi channel was held by star GRP then they would have fought tooth and nail against it.

But yeah really thankful that zindagi at least gave an insight to vast supreme content of nations other than US and UK

Zee is a business house. Period... Not sure what is the meaning of patriotic business house. Please quote some non-patriotic indian business houses...😊

Zee is not such a patriotic business house. In Middle East they work with Pakistani actors. Their news channels invite Pakistani panelists. Basically convenient patriotism which fools fall for.
