But what if the cast and crew knew by the first week of the show moving to 5:30PM slot that they are ending the show by certain time. I would say when Sandip announced his new show in Oct beginning then only he might have thought of ending MHRW. It ideally takes 2 months of prep work for the show to start shooting. So maybe he must have given the channel the deadline that he will have to end MHRW by Nov end.
I feel it is channel that wanted to see trps before taking the call because they know MHRW has a solid fanbase. But when the trps dipped and the next week too didn't pick up they had to take this call. I feel Sandip pretty much was clear on ending MHRW. They might have done all the write up and how to end it. There are ample storylines if they wanted to keep the show going on. Who knows maybe they had a bank of 10 - 12 episodes when the off-air news got announced. The remaining one week they just juggled and shot off by shooting round the clock.
Sharada they shot the episode that will air tomorrow - Raghav outside the boutique shop on last to last Friday. They didn't have much bank.
Also, Sai had way too many interviews and lives so atleast Saishi weren't aware of off air news the day before we got to know. So even if the script is ready the shoot of 18 episodes can't be done in 7 days.
