Changing the story, adding more characters, getting new actors, making disappeared actors make a comeback, the makers of Junoon Aisi Nafrat toh Kaisa Ishq tried all the tricks in the trade to grab the TRPs but they remained elusive. After giving them enough liberty to do their best, the channel people are now it seems pulling the show of air.

Says our reliable source, "Yes, it's true that Junoon is in trouble. There were speculations earlier about Savitri but now it can be said for sure that Junoon which has been showing dismal ratings is about to go off air."

The show which will take its place is it seems Ek Boond Ishq produced by writer Saba Mumtaz under the banner BBC Worldwide Productions India. The story is supposed to be of a disciplined man in love with a simple, homely girl and then what happens next. The promos on air too suggest a violent love story which make quite an impact. Viraf Phiroz Patel and Chhavi Pandey are supposed to play the main leads in this show.

"Junoon which stars Aditya Redij and Mouni Roy has been given two weeks time to wrap up and the last episode will be aired on 6th September. BBC Worldwide Production's show Ek Boond Ishq is coming in place of Savitri and will go on air on the 9th of September. Savitri will see a change in time slot which will now be telecast at 9.30 PM in place of Junoon. The makers of Ek Boond Ishq are busy working on the show at present and the shoot is on," concludes our source.

While no one from the channel or the production house was available to confirm the news we are sure it's time for Junoon to bid adieu.

Time for a new show in a new setting!

Missing you Aditya Redij and Mouni Roy in Junoon. I know the story has gone downhill lately but fans never got to watch the Ishq wala junoon part of the favorite lead characters, Mithvi. Given time, promos and repeats, this show could have developed into a big super hit with such talented leads..

That question mark in the title of this article tells how much you are sure about these informations. Maybe if you tried to find the truth in Beyond Dreams , or asked some of Junoon's team you could be more beliviable.
Junoon is the best. And Aditya Redij , Mouni Roy, Mitil Jain and the others are good actors. We love them soo much.

Please don't shut Junoon down! It really is a great show! Please keep it running ...at least for us fans who do care about this show. Not only this but it will ruin an actor's/actress' reputation for their show to be shut down. If you care about your employees ...you won't shut it down! Please! Thank you.
