Probably Zeetv India are including two additional soaps on their channel and altering the time schedules in an effort to promote them by reaching beyond the TV box.Haven't received any update in India whether any shows will be completely taken off the air or ending thus far. Bhagonwali is televised three times per day in India, therefore there is sufficient space to include more shows.Since Bhagonwali has failed to meet the criterion of obtaining high TRPS it may be televised twice instead of trice.I doub't Bhagonwali is under threat.Never heard of it.

I hope that you're right on this one. Zee Tv has so far aired both of its new serial - Afsar Bitiya and Hitler Didi in the US/Caribbean and for both shows BBAT was shifted. WE currently get 2 airtime - both of which are pretty darned inconvenient if you ask me (except of course for where it is aired at PT).
They have a few serials right now which are being given high priority such as Jhansi, Shobha, MKKPB, RMJ, YMGGK, CB2, GD/HD, PR, AB and all (except for Shobha) are shown from 7:30 to 11:00pm. When Zee adds this to its line up - which I'm sure i'll do - it's very unsettling what will happen to BBAT.
I mean we have all seen postings of other shows ending to accommodate the new lineup but from what I'm hearing all of these shows have all introduced new tracks which are far from being completed...so we can't help but wonder what will the consequences of the new line up.
I have been writing/emailing Zee since this promo yesterday and no response as yet. The last couple conversation I had with a Zee representative, both telephone and on FB, I suggested an omnibus for viewers in the Caribbean on Saturday which should also air in the US to accommodate those affected by the 11:00pm slot and they've indicated that it was seriously being considered.

I have it from sources in the show itself that BBAT is slated to end quietly on the 3rd. We have 20 days. Time to go to war. Again.


TWENTY days everyone. Time to start off. I'm re-making a petition... at least to start off. Y'all need to email and do some DAMAGE. And I suggest we tell Zee to give BBAT a daytime slot rather than take it off the air completely. AND TO FREAKING GIVE US THE REINS OF THEIR MARKETING STRATEGY FOR THIS SHOW (that was me venting, sorry)...

And sorry, that would be 19 days - let's make that a goal of 2 weeks to get signatures and fight our way through with Zee.



** I have now re-made a petition - please read and sign. And SHARE SHARE SHARE! AND SIGN AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Thank you, and lots of love.

So sorry to hear this, and it gives me no consolation to say this...but I KNEW it!!! The BBAT team were all too convenient with their all of a sudden "care and concern" for the fans!!! And offering the opportunity for the signed pictures etc. on FB was just a clumsy attempt to "butter up" the fans after all!!! Well... it seems it was always in the cards, hence the explanation of this disgusting, horrendous and torturous track!!! All they were really doing was running the show into the ground, so that everyone would be relieved when it was finally over!!!! They never showed too much respect for the fans, so I guess why should they do so now?? So very,very sad!!! Still hoping for a miracle, will do my part to save the show, but really and truly I am on the verge of tears right now!!!

I think Bhagonwali is ending. They are giving the same treatment to BBAT as they did with Choti Si Zindagi. They won't annouce the show will get axe. They will just advertise that a new show will be replacing it. Like they did with Afsar Bityia replacing Choti Si Zindagi. Shoba Somnath Ki got the weekend slot because it was too expensive for Zee to axe plus they still had to do the leap. So they gave them weekend slot so it can live slow painful death.

Basically they are indirectly telling us that the show has been axed.

Could this day get any worse? I feel so sad and sick inside - it's like I'm losing a beloved one. Does Zee not care for its international audience? If BBAT ends, I'm going to cancel my subscription with Zee!!!

Very sad to hear this. Even if we do what we can, I am suspecting this time to be real though as there is not much that can save the show. Maybe we should request to give us back our dignity and the dignity of the characters we loved before they end this.

Just saw the segment on haldi too. It is not only mockery of Guddu'd character, it is also mockery of all the customs and ritual of an Indian wedding. God knows what they are thinking. While Guudu sounded apologetic for the way the show was treating the fans, Neelu was defending her role saying it is all for entertainment. If anyone thinks disgusting audiences is entertainment, all I can say is good luck with the role choices in the future! I can just imagine how good or likable they are going to be.

As my last request all I can ask the CVs is please give us the ending that at we are left with fond memories of the show and not bitter after taste.

@vanfan...thank you!! Can always depend on you for a very lucid and dignified response to any situation re BBAT. And you have not failed me yet!! As I write this, my eyes are filled with tears. Mostly because you are right, our beloved show will very likely end once and for all, and I will miss it immensely. But also because of the way the CVs saw fit to destroy and degrade the essence of this show and its beloved characters. In my view, that was completely uncalled for and almost bordered on sadism!!!!

I know I kept harping on this, from the inception of this track, along with many others to be fair...but amazingly it just seemed to get worse day by day!!! We kept asking WHY??? Now we know, it was just their way of bringing the show to an end. I will do my best to extend the life span of BBAT. Though, I will not hold my breath. I just hope that after all the irreparable damage the CVs have done, that they will have a conscience after all, and give BBAT and its ever faithful fans the happy and dignified ending it deserves!!! After all...that is the least they can do!!
