Drisha Kalyani to enter Colors’ Udaan     

Colors' popular and one of the longest running shows, Udaan, started off with a bang with a very promising storyline. The show continued to win hearts until last year when the rumours of it going off air were rife due to its weak plot.

The show somehow managed to get an extension and hence it took a leap to try and bring new twists in the story. Recently, the soap went through a major development as the lead actress Meera Deosthale, who played Chakor, left the show, and Mere Sai actress Toral Rasputra replaced her. This came as a huge surprise for the audience.

The latest we hear is that actress Drisha Kalyani who earlier used to play Pakhi in the show is about to re-enter the show very soon. Yes, you read that right! Apparently, Drisha's re-entry in the show will amp up the drama in the ongoing track.

According to media reports, Chakor returns to Azadganj to save Sameer and Anjor, and suddenly, Bhanupratap gets a hint of Chakor's return. Bhanupratap finds a letter that she left for Anjor, and hence finds it fishy. To confirm his doubt he goes to Pakhi's house as per the letter's address to find out the truth. Whatever happens next is what the upcoming storyline will reveal.

OMG! These FOUR shows got CANCELLED and will NOT RETURN

YouTube is really looking forward to work upon to compete with streaming giants with the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video among others. The platform wants to focus on originals, and hence on that note, it has cancelled four of its popular shows.

The ones to get the axe are Sideswiped, Do You Want To See A Dead Body, Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes On Television, and Champaign ILL. According to a report in Hollywood Reporter.com, scripted series were formerly behind a paywall as part of the YouTube Premium subscription service, but the company is moving to a dual distribution model whereby originals will be available on the free, ad-supported YouTube as well as the ad-free Premium tier (which also includes YouTube Music).   

As part of this shift, the company is expected to double down on programming featuring its homegrown creators and the crop of traditional talent who have made YouTube their online home. It also will focus on unscripted and educational shows and docuseries about music artists, with the aim of enhancing YouTube's core business of user-generated videos.
