As far as what Rubina was told about the extension...she could have been given false information and innocently being steered in the wrong direction. Why would Zee UK set themselves up for a lawsuit by lying to millions of viewers about CB ending? Keep in mind, the tv industry in India is nowhere near as organized and by-the-book as Hollywood. In Hollywood there are contracts for every little thing. Not so in Mumbai. In Mumbai, a show could be axed and the cast not even hear about it until the last day of shooting. Something similar happened with the short-lived Zee soap "Do Saheliyan". Right before it got cancelled, one of it's leads was told that the rumours of cancellation were false and she pacified angry viewers by stating in an article that the show was not ending. Less then three weeks later the show was gone. Zee TV did not even have the decency to air the last episode in countries outside of India until customers protested. So, you see, the network and the industry in general is very fickle. We just don't know who is telling the truth and who isn't.
