Bye Bye Piya Ka Ghar

Piya Ka Ghar, Zee TV's the afternoon daily is set to close shop. And it's leading lady Rimjhim (Narayani Shastri) will breathe her last with it. In a never-before kind of ending, the serial makers are planning a scene that will leave the audience shocked. Producer Sheel Kumar says, "We are ending the serial with Rimjhim's death. We are showing this because according Indian tradition it is said that a girl leaves her maternal house in a palanquin and departs only on a pyre from her marital house."

Most television serials end on a happy note. How will the audiences react to this unusual tragic end? "The end is neither tragic nor sudden," says Kumar. "Rimjhim is suffering from cancer. I feel such an end is justified. All her life, she sacrificed her happiness for her family. She did everything to keep her family united. In all these travails, she ignored her own wellbeing."

"It will be a highly emotional scene. It will be executed in a very dramatic manner. Rimjhim will also be aware that she is going to die," adds Kumar.

On the other hand Narayani Shastri says that she is clueless about how the audience will react to her death. She asserts, "I believe it is the right ending. Moreover, happy endings sound boring."

Shooting for the tragic last scene could well leave the crew on the sets of Piya ka Ghar with tears in their eyes!
