Star Plus is on a mission to end all its long running shows. After Balaji’s Kahaani.., Kyunki.., Karam Apnaa Apnaa, Kasturi and Kayamath, the axe has now fallen on BAG Films long running soap, Kumkum – Pyara Sa Bandhan. According to sources, the show has run its due course and there is nothing new that can be offered. In all probability, the show will end in the beginning of March.

Our source informs, “After 1450 episodes the show will finally be meeting its end. There are many reasons behind the conclusion of the show. The primary reason is that the lead faces of the show are too busy to give time to this show. As we all know, Juhi Parmar aka Kumkum has just got married to Sachin Shroff. She wants to pay attention to her personal life for time being. Hussain Kuwajerwala, on the other hand, wants to concentrate on his Bollywood debut. He wants to concentrate solely on his upcoming flick. And how long can one drag Hiten’s and Gauri’s track? So the show is ending. The show is tipped to end in the second week of March – possibly on the 13th. If the buzz is to be believed, then Kumkum will be replaced by a new show from the same production house.”

Another source from the production house informs, “The show will end, but as of now, we haven’t got any official confirmation on this. So we are developing the story according to the current track.”

The show will see Kumkum and Hussain unite. But the highlight of the show is Gauri and Hiten’s engagement on the show and their marriage a few episodes later.

We tried contacting Anurradha Prasad, Managing Director BAG Films and Media Ltd. and Keertan Adhyanthaya, Star Plus’ EVP and GM, but both remained unavailable.
