It
could be time to bid adieu to that innovative
Star Plus show for mothers and their broods
- Mum, Tum Aur Hum, which is likely to end
its run in March.
That is, unless the channel pulls it back
in after a season break at the 8 pm slot,
which MTH had managed to hold in its six
months of existence.
The show which launched on 19 September
2005 is still shooting in Delhi, but is
likely to wind up soon, say our sources.
The daily show was under a 52 episode contract
(till December 2005) but got an extension
of another 52 episodes until March.
"Yes, the show is coming to an end
by March. It got an extension and we did
112 episodes in all. It was a fun show,
something I'd never tried before and I had
a fabulous time working with the best people,"
says host Shruti Seth, who now wants to
host a travel show but wants to avoid the
daily soaps.
Shruti has her hands full with Star Plus'
Shararat and a feature Fanaah(releasing
in May) where she gets to share the screen
with Kajol and Aamir Khan in the first half
of the film. The actor also soon plans to
go for a month's holiday to the US in August.
However Star India creative head Shailaja
Kejriwal says, "The show might go off
air. They are still shooting, so we have
not decided the date yet. By early next
week, we will be sure about the same. We
have a couple of shows as options in place
of Mum,Tum Aur Hum, which again we
have not finalised."
Mum,Tum Aur Hum is a game show which
has the mother and child thinking and playing
together and being totally in sync with
each other. Here every participant wins
a take-home prize with the jackpot prize
being a family holiday to various destinations
abroad. This daily game show is produced
and directed by Siddharth and Anita Kaul
Basu (Synergy Communications).
