UTV’s
Bhabhi
is reportedly going off-air after running
successfully (barring some hiccups) for
six years. The show currently in its seventh
year may soon shut down and Shobhana Desai’s
Hamari Devrani will replace it. In
an attempt to revamp its afternoon slot,
Star Plus, reportedly, is axing Bhabhi
from its afternoon band. It is the number
two show across all the channels after Kumkum.
According to the latest TRPs Bhabhi
has garnered a TRP of 1.8 as compared to
its competitor Rakhi on Zee, which
has garnered a TRP of 1.2. As per the average
of TRPs of last 10 weeks, Bhabhi is ahead
of all the afternoon shows except for Kumkum.
Surprisingly it still is the first show
to get axed from the afternoon band of the
channel.
When contacted, Prem Kamath chose to take
no comments stance. He said, “We can’t talk
on it right now. We will hold a press conference
where we will announce everything.”
Though a source from the show informs,
“The show is going off-air after May ends.
We are very disappointed as the show was
doing well.”
Another show that is been considered to
fill in the channel’s afternoon slot is
Shreya Creations’ Jaha Pe Basera Ho,
which is about strong family values. Sheel
Kumar from Shreya Creations, confirms the
news and says, “We are producing Jaha
Pe Basera Ho for Star Plus for their
afternoon slot but they still have to give
us the time of its airing.”
As we figure out which show will be replaced
by Jahan Pe Basera Ho the nail biting
continues.
