Kesar will go off air on the 31st of this month to be replaced by Karam Apna Apna. Karam…, which was already shifted from 9.30 PM to 8 PM to make way for KBC3, will be moved yet again from its prime time slot to noon.
Prachi Shah, who plays Kesar, reacts: "I was upset when I heard about this. I was aware the show would shut this year but I didn't know it would go off air so soon. I thought it would run until August and then end but two months ago I found out that we're going off-air in May. Our whole team was surprised but this is the part and parcel of this industry."
She has many fond memories with the cast of Kesar saying, "We had an event in December where I had a performance with Yash and Ronit; I enjoyed that. We have a small team and I share a good rapport with K.K (Amit) and Abhi (Ashish). They are actually of my age but play my sons. We have had so many great scenes with each other. As we are a smaller team than most daily shows we are more attached to each other."
Richa, the creative head of the Kesar explains its dismissal saying, "The channel is shifting Karam… to Kesar's time because it will provide fresh look to the noon slot. Kesar was doing well; it was receiving TRP's of 2.86 approximately. It has a very good team and the whole star cast was co-operative but some things have to end somewhere. We have not shot for the last episode yet but we will definitely have happy conclusion."
According to Ipshita, creative head of Karam Apna Apna, the reason behind the Karam's move is its low TRPs at prime time. She says, "Karam now will now shift to the noon slot as its 8 PM timing was not doing well with TRP's of around 2. When we informed our team about it they were wary about the decision then they realized that it will do better in a noon slot.
The channel wants a non-fictional show at 8 PM as housewives mostly watch shows in the afternoon. Housewives hardly get the time to see a show at 8 PM because at that time they have to finish their household work. Even office going people hardly come home by 8."
Karam was getting TRP's around 11 when it came on-air at 9.30 PM. Those TRPs were higher than Saat Phere's but the time had to shift due to KBC3. Antakshari will now replace Karam at 8 PM. It will be on-air from 7.30 to 8.30."
