This rumour has been doing the rounds. I don't know why they would shutdown a show that is number 2. But one thing I was thinking last week, they have painted themselves into a corner to such an extent that the moment Sai Virat get together, and /or Pakhi turns negative or positive, there is no story left.
When the TRPs were 3+, they should have moved gradually by showing us a happy Sairat for a while, with other issues like Devi recovering or Ninad's heart attack. They had the support of the audience. AT one point, any and every track could not shake the TRP from 3.4. Shruti brought it below 3.
And then, they jumped into Samrat's death too soon.
