Well, nothing really, just re-runs of shows! And that's been the story past few days. Audiences are certainly not happy and many of them have found alternatives. While some of the hardcore daily soap watchers have started surfing news and sports channels, others are watching movies. This is a matter of concern for serial makers. They stand to lose out on their loyal audiences if the strike goes on too long. Of course, the strike could end any time considering talks are on between all the parties. But atleast till the time we went to press, the problem prevailed. So how worried are our producers about losing out on viewership? And do they have a strategy in place to get the eyeballs back once the strike ends? BT spoke to some of our top makers...

Audiences who've gone I'm sure will be back. Sometimes a break is good. During this time, there's a lot of planning one can do and also re-evaluate your scripts. We have decided to review all our scripts in this time that we have.
Rajan Shahi


We are helpless on that front. There's nothing we can really plan right now. At the moment we can only wait and watch. Yes, what we can do when the show begins again is to make things extremely interesting so we are able to bring the audiences back.

Rajan seems modest, reevaluate all the scripts, means less scope of bloopers all i hope that all the fans are kept on surprise by them and waiting for the track back!!

You know, even though I'm really missing watching the show, I think a break is indeed good sometimes in order to be able to deliver a better quality product in the end....the ppl in this industry are so overworked in a constant pressure environment! If they were given a break once in a while and the storywriters were given ample time and no rash deadlines to write out their story, then all shows would benefit! And ultimately the audience as well cuz we would see a better developed and thought out show!
The Indian TV industry has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years and with rapid change, issues do crop up and sometimes things need to be overhauled.
Here's hoping that once this strike is over (hopefully by next week!) Rajan Shahi and the Bidaai team hit the ground running and show us some great epis to make up for all this!
