With every passing day people are waiting for the lockdown to come to an end. And as soon as the things will start moving, we will get to see our favorite shows back on screen. But there is a news doing rounds which has broken the hearts of many.
Popular Sony TV shows Beyhadh 2, Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein and Patiala Babes have been axed and won’t return once things get normal again and shoot resumes.
In an exclusive statement issued to BT, the channel said that the three “are finite fiction shows and the nature and the pace of their narrative is time-bound.”
It further stated, “Given that all shoots have been stalled since March, owing to the unprecedented situation we are in, these shows couldn’t shoot their logical ends. All the three shows have had a good spell and would have paved way to newer narratives eventually, had the shoots been functional. Having said that, keeping the best interests of all in mind and in joint agreement with the producers, it has been decided to terminate these shows, as of now.”
In an interview with BT, producer of Patiala Babes, Rajita Sharma said, “Ours was always a finite series, but unfortunately, we are unable to shoot the remaining episodes because of the lockdown. None of us know when we will be in a position to resume shooting. So, it was a mutual decision to pull it off air.”
Prateek Sharma, producer of Beyhadh 2 said, “We all are in an unprecedented situation here and I would totally agree and go ahead with channel’s decision in this matter as whatever they will decide will be in the best interest of all the concerened parties, including producer, actors, writers and the rest of the crew.”
Ashnoor Kaur, who played the lead of Patiala Babes said, “I am not able to digest the fact that the show is over and we won’t be working as a team. It is sad but I am happy that I got to portray a role like Mini and given the circumstances I think it was in everyone’s interests.”

Really, what happened to Sony? It is giving such an injustice to three of its shows. Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein deserves this for its plotless and illogical storyline. Eventhough Patiala Babes is good enough, they should end it atleast. And coming to Beyhadh2, it is literally confusing with useless characters like Vikram and even the male lead. Still there are many mysteries to cover. Ending Beyhadh2 is not right in my point. Thank god, Ek Duje Ke Vaaste and Mere Dad Ki Dulhan are safe. I really don’t want Sony to air the same and useless, rubbish India’s Best Dancer at that three empty slots. IBD is really overrated in Sony. Zee’s Saregamapa is far better than this rubbish
Never expected such a move from Sony. But none of Sony’s shows generated good TV trp n the kind of numbers the above three shows were getting, the losses might be terrible for the channel and producers. With huge losses due to covid 19, n pathetic TV trps of the above shows such a decision is not surprising.Unfortunately online trps dont generate any profits for channels.
