Aasman Se Aage
While there are television serials that run for years, a few go off air within months after they fail to garner a good response from audiences and suffer from dipping TRPs.
Shubh Vivah, Aasman Se Aage, Sajda TerePyaar Mein are a few shows that couldn't strike a chord with the audience.
Shubh Vivah
Timeline: Feb 2012- June 2012
The show, which revolved around a father and his five daughters who are of marriageable age, did not live up to its hype from the day it was launched. Even Eijaz Khan's charisma could not woo the audience. The show makers tried to add spice with a twist in which Khan's character dies, but it didn't work. The show could not go far and went off air within five months.
Eijaz Khan: "It was a great learning experience working with some senior actors like Rakesh Bedi. Some things work, some don't. But sometimes it happens that something which doesn't work might be close to your heart. I have always given my 100 per cent to a show, and success according to me is aiming to do something most efficiently."
Aasman Se Aage
Timeline: April 2012- July 2012
The story follows the Journey of a girl called Meenakshi (Ojaswi Oberoi) who hails from a poor background and takes part in a dance reality show. Her producer, played by Apoorva Agnihotri, tries to exploit her poverty in the show to acquire high TRPs. Though touted as Apoorva's comeback after a long break, the show did not manage to garner good TRPs. It earned only 0.5 to 0.7 TRP while on air. After completing a three-month run, the show is going off air on July 13.
Ojaswi Oberoi: "People initially liked the show but due to some erratic factors, the show was axed within a few months. First of all, it was launched during the IPL season and secondly the time slot of 10.30 pm clashed with two other prominent shows (Bade Achhe Lagte Hai and Na Bole Tum...Na Maine Kuch Kaha). Though the concept was unique, it couldn't impress viewers."
Sajda Tere Pyaar Mein
Timeline: Feb 2012- June 2012
It traced the journey of 21-year-old Aaliya (Deblina Chatterjee), a modern Muslim girl whose love interest Ranveer (Shaleen Bhanot) is an ATB (Anti-Terrorism Bureau) agent. She had to choose between her love and her duty. In spite of a different concept, the show ratings never showed an upward graph and the show failed to make an impact. It was replaced by the showPyar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara.
Dekha Ek Khwab
Timeline: Nov 2011- July 2012
This show started with a fresh concept. It revolved around the life of a girl named Manyata (Priya Gor) who wished to be a princess. Her wish came true overnight as she discovered that she was the long lost princess of the Devgadh Royals. Despite a good star cast (it included Aruna Irani), enough publicity and a prime time slot, the show failed to grab eyeballs. After giving several ultimatums to the makers, the channel finally decided to take the show off air and sources now inform that Dekha Ek Khwaab will say its final goodbye on July 26.
Navya
Timeline: April 2011-June 2012
This show which highlighted the communication gap between the parents and their children also revolved around the love story of Anant (Shaheer Sheikh) and Navya (Saumya Seth) Their relationship was accepted by their parents after initial rejection. What came as a refreshing change was later on turned into kitchen politics. The serial was shifted to 6 pm from its original prime time slot, and finally went off air after completing one year.
Siddarth Kumar Tewary, producer: "Every good thing comes to an end, and that only happened with my show. It got a good audience response but I think instead of just dragging a show, it is better to call it off."
