Three popular daily soaps — 'Beyhadh 2', 'Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein' and 'Patiala Babes' — will not return to television post the lockdown. In an exclusive statement issued to BT, the channel said that the three “are finite fiction shows and the nature and the pace of their narrative is time-bound.”
It further stated, “Given that all shoots have been stalled since March, owing to the unprecedented situation we are in, these shows couldn’t shoot their logical ends. All the three shows have had a good spell and would have paved way to newer narratives eventually, had the shoots been functional. Having said that, keeping the best interests of all in mind and in joint agreement with the producers, it has been decided to terminate these shows, as of now.”
Meanwhile, BT spoke to Rajita Sharma, the producer of 'Patiala Babes', who said, “Ours was always a finite series, but unfortunately, we are unable to shoot the remaining episodes because of the lockdown. None of us know when we will be in a position to resume shooting. So, it was a mutual decision to pull it off air.”
Prateek Sharma, producer of 'Beyhadh 2' said, "We all are in an unprecedented situation here and I would totally agree and go ahead with channel's decision in this matter as whatever they will decide will be in the best interest of all the concerened parties, including producer, actors, writers and the rest of the crew."
Lead actress of 'Patiala Babes', Ashnoor Kaur said, "I am not able to digest the fact that the show is over and we won't be working as a team. It is sad but I am happy that I got to portray a role like Mini and given the circumstances I think it was in everyone's interests."
P.S - Sony is the most disgusting cannel i have ever seen! Both producer n channel agreed at this point because they won't have to pay to the actors if they axe these shows! I am a viewer of PB N beyhadh n both the shows are incomplete they are yet to show many things then how can they do that? None of the other channel is doing such thing! 😵
@bold what is meant by as of now are they going to bring back the shows? if not then this whole channel should shut down! 😡
