This show has had eight crore calls in over 133 episodes! Dial One aur Jeeto...oops! should we say Dial One Ladies first is all set to take a season break tentatively from 2 March 2006.

Rohit Roy's initiation into the show thus will be a temporary affair lasting 16 episodes starting 26 January.

Confirming this, Sahara One COO Purnendu Bose says that the break will be a short term affair and the show will be back with a bang in the second season. "Dial One...is a show that was launched primarily with the aim of connecting with the viewers. And as it is with shows like this, there is always the need for a break to sustain viewer participation and interest," points out Bose.

Star One has used this format quite successfully with popular shows like Instant Khichadi and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Shows like KBC (Star Plus) and Indian Idol (Sony) have also been more or less as successful as their predecessors.

The show that generated phenomenal response of 41 lakh callers in the first four days itself (after its launch on 7 February 2005), has since then, seen a lot of changes. First, it got a major face lift end of June last year and also moved to a multi camera set up in a larger set in Mumbai's Film City. This was also the time when the it went from being half hour to an hour long show (8:00 pm -9:00 pm, Mon-Thurs). Then, by September the original host, Aman Verma was replaced by Shekhar Suman and now just before a season wrap up, Rohit Roy has been invited to do a cameo for 16 episodes and now, since the show is targetting housewives, it's will air at 10:00 pm.
