By Anil Merani| Our TV industry is very fickle, where decisions change at the eleventh hour. Yet another example of the same would be the call to end the Star Bharat show Woh Toh Hai Albelaa( Shaheer Sheikh and Hiba Nawab). Last night Justshowbiz had reported that the show would go off-air due to low TRP, and we had also carried the quotes of producer Rajan Shahi to validate our claims.

But again, the above call has been reversed overnight, and the show will continue to air on the same channel.
Rajan Shahi again confirmed the same with the following WhatsApp message. ” Working hard on all shows as planned🙂👍 June is important phase fir all 4 shows ..YRKKH3, ANUPAMAA, AK3, ALBELAA so TEAMS are  gearing up”

it appears that both Rajan and Star might have had differences which went to the brink but luckily, both sides treaded back. ( read Rajan last night’s quote)

Low rating Star Bharat is trying to pull all stops to save its bacon. They also have a new show starring Karan Wahi ( Beyond Dream production), and if Albelaa ends, the above project might also face question marks on the same issue of TR viability.
Sadly fans become collateral damage in this tussle between broadcaster and producer. Many Shaheeer Sheikh stans were very miffed with last night’s development. I hope they all can breathe easy now.

However, given the low numbers, I fear this bonhomie might not last long, and even Rajan has indicated the same today, saying June is critical, if you read between the lines.

In closing, we would request the makers to show more Shaheer shirtless scenes, which the fans seem to dig maybe be part of placating fan pique. It might even make numbers go up.
