Rabba Ishq...to pack up on 18 April

It's official. Aroona Irani's Zee show, Rabba Ishq Na Hove is wrapping up. The show has had a successful 52 episode run and will come to an end on 18 April, sources tell us.

Varun, Sangeeta and Nikhil: awesome threesome

The show, that launched on the ill fated Black Tuesday, 26 July 2005 (the first episode was re-telecast on 2 August) started as an one hour 10 pm weekly, but was rescheduled to air Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:30 pm.

"I was prepared for this. From the beginning itself, the show was supposed to be a start to end 52 episode show. It went on as was promised to us and frankly, I think that it's good that the story wasn't stretched unneccesarily as is the case with the other shows currently on air," says Nikkhil Arya, who plays the brooding Vivan in the show.

"I knew that the show is going off air. We were informed a month ago! I don't know how the show is going to end, though!" says Pooja Rawal, who will also be seen in Viraasat.

The main leads in the show, Sangeeta Ghosh and Varun Badola have moved on to other projects. While Sangeeta (who plays Priyanka) is doing Ravi Chopra's Viraasat opposite Ronit Roy, Varun Badola is doing Ek Chaabi Pados Mein on Star Plus and Star One's Arranged Marriiage with wife Rajeshwari.

Both Varun Badola and Sangeeta Ghosh were unavailable for comment.

Curtains for Rabba Ishq
By: Vickey Lalwani

Sangeeta Ghosh

Aroona Irani has been told to pack up Rabba Ishq Na Hove (starring Varun Badola, and Sangeeta Ghosh) by April 18, which will be its last date of telecast. Despite Irani's lavish treatment, the show seemed jinxed from Day One.

Why it failed

Scheduled to telecast on July 19 last year, RINH was delayed by a week because of the July 26 deluge.

Says a source, "Most people did not see the first few episodes. The first episode was re-run for Mumbaikars, who did not have power supply in their homes on that day (the July 26 episode was re-telecast on August 2).

But that week, even people from other parts of the country were interested only in Mumbai news. By the time people caught up with RINH, it was too late; the story had progressed.

Plus, Zee slotted it wrongly, pitting it against Star Plus's Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (10 pm), which has a constant, faithful viewership. By the time it was shifted to 8.30 pm, the damage was done. Zee hardly marketed RINH, despite Irani shooting lavishly in Singapore and Dubai."

While Irani was unavailable for comment, Nandita Mehra who earlier directed Irani's Mehendi Tere Naam Ki (Zee) confirmed that RINH had poor ratings. "The show never got good TRPs. That's the reason why we going off," she said.

According to the director, the end will not be abrupt. "It's not going to be a end which will prop up unexplained questions. We are happy that Zee was professional enough to give us a notice of more than 45 days."
