New Delhi: ‘Balika Vadhu’ has been one of the most popular shows of Colors Channel for the past few years. The daily soap has been associated with the channel since, Colors’ inception.
The show started off with the discussion on social evils like child marriage, dowry, gender discrimination, female infanticide, rape etc but gradually went on the track of soap operas with too much masala content.
In fact, ‘Balika Vadhu’ has been one of the longest running shows on the Indian television and has its name registered in the Limca Book of Records.
But now the journey of the show is finally coming to an end.
Yes! ‘Balika Vadhu’ is going off air. The last episode of the show will be aired on July 31.
“We have been informed about the decision. The unit will shoot the last episode around July 22. The show has run its course and it will make no sense to drag it any further,” a source reportedly told a leading daily.
According to the media reports, the makers had to take this hard decision following the regular low rating of the show.
On the other hand, Mahhi Vij and Ruslan Mumtaz, who play a key roles in ‘Balika Vadhu’ is quite unaware of the show going off air.
Mahhi told a leading daily, “I have not been informed officially about this. It is unfortunate if 'Balika Vadhu' is coming to an end. I wish the show was promoted well as no one knew that it was airing at an early evening time slot. For me, it's time to move on professionally.”
“This hasn't been announced yet. I was told that we would be informed at least two months before the show shuts. But if it is ending, then it is time to move on to another project,” Ruslan added.
While the reports of ‘Balika Vadhu’ coming to an end are rife, the makers are yet to make an official announcement.
