Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon ends abruptly

Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon ends abruptly
    Actor Barun Sobti’s decision to quit Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? (IPKKND) has brought an abrupt end to the show. Though the show’s producer had found a replacement for Barun and the story ahead was planned, the channel decided to stand by its decision. It will air its last episode on Friday, November 30. Informs a source, “We have no idea about the reason for this abrupt ending; we were planning the story ahead without Barun. We guess Barun’s exit is the sole reason for discontinuation. There is enough meat in the new story. Sanaya (Irani) alone would have sailed it through.” Producer Rajesh Chadha confirmed, “Yes, the show is ending. It was the channel’s internal decision.”

Pawan Shankar

Pradeep ‘dies’ in time leap?
    Pradeep (Pawan Shankar) may soon bid goodbye to Kya Huaa Tera Vaada. The grapevine has it that he will be shown dead, with the show taking a time leap of 10 to 15 years. But there are also reports that Pradeep’s death is just a gimmick and he will be brought back into the show later. We had earlier reported about Mouli Ganguly aka Anoushka Sarkar planning to quit the show, owing to creative differences. Apparently, Sukirti Khandpal and Siddhi have been approached to play Pawan and Mona’s grown-up on-screen daughters — Bulbul and Rano, respectively. Pawan didn’t revert to our text message.

Yeh Rishta...to go fast forward
    Yet another telly show is following the trend of time leaps. Rajan Shahi’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
will take a leap of five years in the first week of December. The production house is busy finalising the look of all the characters, including the lead pair, Akshara and Naitik. We hear that even the look of the sets is being changed. The show will soon complete four years.
