I tried hard to talk to her waited for 20 minutes on an international call... She replied me very nicely after that reference I gave her...
She told me it is "SOLELY PH" decision, channel has no influence to fired somebody. Channel got the news of changing just 2 days before the replacement and after PH send them new auditions channel finalize T because they can't find any other on such short notice other reason T has done some Rajhastani role before. She said they know nobody can take place of Prats and yes channel is so pressurized at the moment because of too much competition at this time slot.
In reply of my question what is the reason behind of sudden exit? She told me same thing after airing the show 6 days a week PH increased the working hours and Prats wasn't agree to do 15 hrs in a day. She was not 100% well since many months but project head and director didn't hear her issues.
Now they are looking for TRPs and are in pressure because of the reaction on people... She was very shocked with the reaction...
