OMFG are you kidding????????? I watched this as a kid when I was in India and when I went back to visit I went crazy asking my cousins how it ended and everyone had the same reply, "they took it off air" I have goosebumps while reading this because I could hardly find anything on the internet. However, I am skeptical too, as others have posted this is not the same show it will have a different plot :(
