I think this off air news is much older because it doesn't make sense for it to be this abrupt. There is usually a notice period before the off air time usually more than a month. PHs, only reveal the news once all hopes are lost and they have done their part at trying. After PHs were done with trying, they revealed it to audience.
I think the news came the day Azinkya (child actor playing Aarav) started replying to douchebags replying with hateful messages on his instagram post. Although, I wanted him to stop because it was detrimental to his image but, I agreed with his replies. I think that day itself the news of off air came, and the frustration of Azinkya came out on instagram. Then, I thought show might be going off air because this was not a move I was expecting from Azinkya.
