Punar Vivah 2 or Jodha Akbar – which show will Aankh Micholi replace?

August 21, 2013 Comments 48 Category: Multiple

It is speculated that Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi will replace either Punar Vivaah or Jodha Akbar on Zee TV!

Whenever we see a new promo our minds go ticking as to which show will be shown the door next? Even as fans of each and every show want their favorite shows to be long lasting it doesn’t stand true in the Indian Television industry. Change is the only constant here, so gear up for some buzzing news.

Touted as a modern love story with a difference, Shashi Sumeet Productions, Punar Vivaah Ek Nayi Umeed on Zee TV never managed to gain the much needed numbers. While it opened with an encouraging TRP of 1.8 even beating Sony TV’s Bade Acche Lagte Hain which airs at the same time slot, it later started dipping with dropping to a dismal 0.9 in some weeks. While the TRPs have slightly picked up recently, apparently the channel is disappointed with the show’s performance and is all set to bring in a new show.

The show which started as the story of two lovers (Karan V Grover and Rubina Dilaik) who get back together after a long time and still have feelings for each other, got a twist when suddenly Rubina decided to quit the show mid-way. Apparently, Rubina was not happy with how her character was developing. This did not go well with fans of Rubina and the show took a further dip in popularity.

Inside sources reveal that talks are on about Punar Vivah getting replaced by a new show, Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi which is supposed to go on air soon. “Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi is produced by Esselvision, which is Essel Group’s in-house production arm. They have just shot the promo with couple of actors and the shoot of the rest of the episodes has still not started. It was slated to go on-air from the 9th of September but it seems that the launch has been delayed.”

Telling us more about the new show our source says, “The story of the show revolves around a girl Ami (Ulka Gupta) who is shown to be a teenager who is far from perfect whether it is in studies, sports or dramatics. It is only her father who understands her but after his death she feels lost as no one appreciates her for what she is.”

Gautami Kapoor will be seen as Ami’s mother and a widow who will try to be Ami’s support after Ami’s father passes away. With the soft touch of children and parenting to the story it is sure to gather appreciation if treated with tender loving care.

However, while it is said that Punar Vivah is the next to be axed what with no replacement for Rubina’s character as yet there still remains a confusion. When we texted producer Sumeet Mittal, he feigned ignorance and replied, “Not really… don’t have any info from channel as such.”

Even our source says that there are actually two shows under the scanner. “Most probably Khelti Hain Zindagi Aankh Micholi will replace Punar Vivah as the show has not picked up. It is not doing well whether it is the ratings or popularity! However, you never know, even Balaji Productions, Jodha Akbar is strictly doing ok in the ratings department despite opening with a 2.2 TRP. Also the content drew protests from various sections of the society. Whether it is the research, the acting or the presentation, Jodha Akbar is being criticized for it so it just might be possible that Jodha Akbar might discontinue!” concludes our source.

Well, which show stays and which one gets the axe, what do you think?

    I think ki kisi ko bhi off air nahi hona chahiye……………..
    i mean they can start a show from 6:30 onwards…….
    and vaise bhi the time of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Do??2 is 6:00 pm onwards so why not Aankh Micholi????

    LOL these two shows have probably been chosen cause of the bad ratings and the protests for Jodha Akhbar!! Pavitra Rishta is doing very well right now, so thats why that won’t be ending!!:P

    pavirta rishta is gonna go. but pv2 is getting hard to balance, that’s why they need to drop it. I agree with beth, if sarita gets married to vikrant there has much to go on then sarita marrying raj.

    and pls end pavitra rishta on a happy note.. arjun purvi is married and all happy, so nothing is left in dis show
    we really dnt wanna see another ghatiya twist, and
    if u wanna replace any show den replace dat horrible vivah 2, not ja

      August 22, 16:37

      Horrible. Wow. For your kind information JA is a love story in 16th century and PV2 is in 2013 so we really have so many differences in both of the stories.

      jodha akbar’s trp is more than ok .it is getting really popular so i think they should continue jodha akbar and close pavitra rista/punarvivah2 or housewife

    Punar vivah should go off air. they totally ruined the storyline!! I expected so much from this show with Divya in the show… I really loved it but since divya left i started to dislike this show. so it can go off air now!!! so either bring back divya and a new storyline or end the show forever!!!!!

    • Simran
      August 22, 16:33

      Wow, Divya is a only character in the show not the lead and in fact the whole story is about Raj and Sarita not about Divya. And I don’t think that the show should go off air.

    bye bye punar vivah 2 lol

    thats what happens when you turn a classy show into trash
    and also getting rid of awesome characters and ended it on a shitty note

      Well said, I suspect this Pv2 is going to end. If Raj take Sarita as his wife there would be nothing to speak of again. If Sarita marries Vikrant then they can continue same as Yash and Aarti, but they will need to develop a line for Raj and his family.

      These writers are a mess.

      Bye bye PV2, I love Vikrant. I would miss the Vikrant and Sarita Jodi

      I don’t think something like that gonna happen in Punar vivah 2 but infact the story is getting interesting. And I think we should wait cause we don’t really know what will happen in PV2 so be patient.

    • Simran
      August 22, 16:30

      Really you don’t even know what will happen in Pv2 and you have already decide that PV2 is in a shitty note.

      loyal fan of PV1

      I gave PV2 a chance and many disappointments came with it

      they ended PV1 on a shitty note in my book
