T he lead of this show has been the face of Zee TV since its launch in the later half of 2004. But come mid-October, Kareena Kareena, Zee's lighthearted comedy is going to bid adieu to its viewers.

Kulraj Kaur and Sandeep Rajora: Bye bye time!

It was being speculated for quite some time that the show was going to be taken off-air, since it was dragging for too long. But one hoped that with the introduction of Faraaz Khan, the track would pick up momentum and look better!

"We were informed a week ago. It didn't come as a surprise as the show had gone bad, creatively, in the middle, but with the introduction of the negative guy, I thought that it would work. Because of this I was expecting an extension...but finally, it is the channel's call!," says Sandeep Rajora, who plays Tushar, Kareena's love interest in the show.

The show, according to our sources, will have a grand finale, that will culminate in Kareena finally tying the knot with the man she loves.

Kareena and her love: finally together!

Zee's head of programming, Ashwini Yardi, confirmed the news.

"I am happy that the show is ending on a happy note. We will soon be completing 200 episodes, and after this is done, I am looking to do more adventurous shows," says Kulraj, who admittedly is feeling bad about the end of her first show. Kulraj is now all ready to jump into the filmy bandwagon.

Zee TV has a slew of shows lined up for the end of the year -- Sanjay Wadhwa’s Saat Phere and Balaji telefilms' Hum Paanch are two that are slotted for launch in mid-October.

Which of these shows is going to replace Kareena...and which show will the other one replace?
