A show not working cannot be blamed on the actors or the script: Producer Sunjoy Wadhwa on Balika Vadhu 2 going off air

TV show

Balika Vadhu 2

, which launched on August 9, will go off air on February 22. It While the first season of the show was iconic and it ran for eight years, the second season did not warm up to viewers. The makers tried all twists and turns and after the child actors failed to get viewership, the show took a leap and Shivangi Joshi of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlataa Hai played the lead role along with Randeep Rai and

Samridh Bawa

.

Producer Sunjoy Wadhwa

confirmed the news. He said, "There are various factors that don't work in favour of a show. When we made the first season of Balika Vadhu, it was a different time period. Now, with the advent of alternative platforms and viewers watching a lot of content on their phones, it is not easy to sustain a storyline that worked a decade back. But, I look forward to the show moving to an alternative platform."

Sunjoy shared how the leap also did not work for the masses. He said, "Things happened very fast after we changed storylines and introduced a leap. It is true we brought Shivangi as the main lead, but the script or actors' performances are not responsible for a show going off air. We all know that sometimes there are no particular reasons as to why a show fails to click with audiences. I can't be crying over something that hasn't worked. Also, when the leap happened, it was so sudden that there was not much time to promote the show or talk about Shivangi's entry in it. We are hopeful that the show will work on the other platform. I don't feel a show not working should be blamed on any actor or the script."

The show will go off air on February 22. Shivangi Joshi and Randeep Rai did not revert to our messages.
