Star Plus to take Kyunki Saas...off air

Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 10:17 [IST]
Balaji Telefilms and Star India Pvt Ltd are again at loggerheads after Star decided to terminate the telecast of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi from Nov 10. Balaji which produces the serial argues it as breach of contract by Star. Yeh Rishtha Kya Kehlata Hai is all set to step into time slot of one of the most successful Television shows ever.

Star had recently scrapped its exclusive content deal with Balaji and even sold back 26% equity to Ekta Kapoor. Another major area of concern for Balaji Teleflims is the drastic falling of its share price at the stock market after Star had scrapped the deal. Balaji which produces six serials for Star Plus currently is not denying legal actions against the Rupert Murdoch owned group.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has been running for close to eight years and has telecast over 1800 episodes is a major flag bearer for the company starring all the top stars in Balaji ranks. With Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii already off air this will be a huge blow to Balaji Teleflims which is slowly loosing its tag of being the leader of Television market.

Who, along with Ekta Kapoor, produces the long running hindi soap, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'?

what balaji did was fatal error in replacing smriti irani,earlie! lets bring younger generations into story. where is eklavya ? what happened to their marriage ?will KT be able to get him back and set him in right path with her love?.will EKLavya remorse and become good?.KT should win him.That's what tulsi herb does.it purifies.she should purify him.if story goes like this ,ratings will once again peak high.all the best balaji.we xpect lot from u

we have some sort of peace of mind watching those serials.there are many social behaviours that need immediate attention.why dont people tend to stop it ,instead being sadist to stop women from watching their only mental relax

That's great news. Nov 10 would be a golden day in the history of Indian Television. Lets just hope that all these illogical and senseless soaps which have completely brainwashed minds of people like Sham are brought to a grinding halt.

I think Balaji Time is over, even my mom who has never missed any episode of this saas bahu, has stoped watching it before 8 months, Suggestion to Ekta "If you want to win back the television queen tag, then pls produce serials such as "Balika vadhu", something which i say is superb to watch and it is reflecting the true story of remote india, or Star one "Dil Mil Gaye" romantic serial, they are doctor, professional but still have a good relation. No fighting only love. Ekta if you will go through this blog i think you will come to know, "what we want from you now!"
