Apoorva Disappointed!
Apoorva AgnihotriMore Pics
Apoorva Agnihotri recently made a return to television with the TV show Aasmaan Se Aage on Life OK.

The channel was banking on this serial, which was based on a reality show, and hoping that it would help them get good ratings. But they were shocked when Aasmaan Se Aage opened poorly and then in the consecutive weeks dropped further. In fact, it's the lowest in terms of ratings on Life OK.

Hence a decision has now been taken to axe the show in a month's time. The makers are shocked and so are the cast and crew. But one person who is most disappointed is Apoorva. This show was a new lease of life for him on TV and he sincerely believed it had the potential to be the number one show on the channel. Well, the television industry is a ruthless place and nobody is surprised with the Life OK's decision to shutAasmaan Se Aage. After all, it's all about ratings (TRPs) here.

@Ektaa, I am sorry to say No channel looks like allows shows like this, I am sure LifeOk will be another Saas Bahu serial pretty soon, Starplus is not getting new shows in their prime time, many shows are in pipeline who knows the producers may knock LifeOK as they are also turning into one and not giving room to shows like ASA

The channel(s) only cater to shows like Saas Bahu Serial, Sister bonding, Love stories, Girl education and development ,EMA etc...

Dreams achievement analyzing what runs behind a reality TV twists and turns and encapsulating the criteria around that dose'nt have room anywhere...

So back to square one of entertainment for the audience forever

This is what I gather with Indian Television.. I subscribed to LifeOK thinking its giving room to different genre of shows but looks like I have to say good bye to the subscription and stick to my American channels..

Apurva ur belief in the show is truly amazing, Many who have followed ur work also felt that, I know u r disappointed , u have done every daam role on television and been No1, and the role of DC is another feather to ur kitty, again a No1 in the role and after Armaan Suri.. this character was well noticed.👏👏

My only wish to see you Apurva back on television with another role and not to make us wait for too long , Roles on indian television is become monotonous, and same cliched ones for the male protagonists, Before you decide into writing and direction you still are valuable for television and the audience who followed you for your work...

Really feel the unfair treatment done to you now and with your earlier show, These channels na...

Apu in a 4 months role you got more fame ...

Even its a 2 months role your character as DC will be remembered as the role that matters not the duration..you lived up brilliantly to your characterisation...

You are talented so Just be back soon no long break..

Wish we cud jyothi. Channels who thrive on TRP's lack interest in innovative shows and we audiences become victims when we want to search for varierty and see something which works behind the scenes

Apurva's role was one of a kind with dimensions.. To me he is just infusing positive vibes when one wishes to dream in the journey of fame through these reality shows...

Now any reality show will be manipulative and the real winner will be someone else than the actual eligible one thanks to ASA
