Many shows have wrapped up in recent times and the latest to go off air is Kaatelal & Sons, which features
Megha Chakraborty
,
Jiya Shankar and
Sahil Phull
in lead roles. The show, which launched in November last year, is wrapping up on August 27. We have learnt that the cast is still grappling with this news.
A shocked and disappointed Sahil tells us, “Everyone is in a dilemma trying to understand what happened. We have been hearing that the decision may have been taken owing to creative differences or budget issue. We discuss it every day among ourselves but haven’t been able to fathom the reason for shutting our show.”
Incidentally, a new promo of the show was shot a week before the unit of the team was informed about the development. “A new promo was shot a week before they announced the decision, as the channel had thought of relaunching it. We are still hopeful that they will revive it. We are very upset and sad.
Achha chal raha tha show toh kyu band kar rahe hain. That too at a time when shows are shutting down in a few months.
Kyu ka answer
kisi ke pass nahi hai, which is even more frustrating.”
For Sahil, it’s even more disappointing because he had bagged the lead role after almost six years. He says, “Kaatelal was my comeback on TV as the male lead after so long. It’s exactly what I needed. My character became popular. I would have wanted it to run for a couple of years. So, it’s saddening that the journey is ending. However, I am taking it positively. I am sure there are better things in store for me.”
