Long-running
Colors
show
Shakti-
Astitva
Ke
Ehsaas
Ki
is
now
on
its
death
bed.
Yes,
the
Rashmi
Sharma
Telefilms
production
had
escaped
several
such
warnings
due
to
its
legacy
run
before,
but
we
guess
every
product
has
its
shelf
life.
According
to
a
source,
it
will
now
move
to
10.30
pm
from
its
current
8.15
pm
time-slot
replacing
lacklustre
offering
Pinjara
Ek
Khoobsurati
Ka
for
a
stop-gap
period
until
Bigg
Boss
comes
calling
somewhere
in
September
early
October.
The
end
game
also
becomes
evident
that
both
the
female
leads
will
soon
be
unavailable.
Bigg
Boss
14
winner
and
former
principal
lead
Rubina
Dilaik
will
quickly
start
shooting
her
debut
Hindi
film.
Jigyasa
Singh,
on
the
other
hand,
will
return
with
her
debut
show
Thapki
Pyar
Ki's
sequel.
Shakti,
based
on
a
eunuch,
has
had
a
long
glorious
run
since
2016.
The
lead
pairing
of
Rubina
Dilaik
and
Vivian
Dsena
had
become
the
talk
of
the
town.
Rubina's
Shakti
acting
chops
netted
her
Bigg
Boss
14
last
year,
and
now
it
seems
she
is
going
places.
Kamya
Punjabi
and
Sudesh
Berry
got
lots
of
kudos
for
their
respective
efforts
in
the
same
show.
Interestingly,
Cezanne
Khan
of
the
original
Kasautii
Zindagi
Kay,
who
entered
earlier
this
year
as
the
new
Harman
(replacing
Vivian),
did
not
get
much
media
or
public
buzz
as
he
must
have
expected,
given
that
this
was
his
long-delayed
return
to
television.
And
with
the
show
ending
now,
Cezanne
will
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
for
a
proper
resurrection.
We
also
need
to
give
producer
Rashmi
Sharma
due
credit
for
taking
a
significant
risk
six
years
back
by
making
a
eunuch
love
story,
given
how
our
society
thinks.
Even
Rubina
and
Vivan
need
a
doffing
of
our
hats,
agreeing
to
be
part
of
such
a
lead
pairing.
As
is
said,
fortune
favours
the
brave,
and
soon,
the
show
became
a
runaway
hit.
We
should
not
forget
the
initial
child
track
helmed
by
Reena
Kapoor
and
child
artistes
Mahira
Khurrana
and
Tasheen
Shah,
which
led
to
a
strong
foundation
on
which
Rubina
and
Vivan
batted
away
to
glory.
Jigyasa
also
earned
her
spurs
when
she
replaced
Rubina
(Saumya)
as
the
lead
post
leap
(as
her
daughter
Heer),
taking
the
story
ahead.
Shakti,
too,
had
several
time
leaps
as
it
always
happens
in
TV
soaps.
Rashmi
Sharma
must
be
pleased,
as
it
is
no
mean
feat
for
a
show
to
have
lasted
so
long
(many
have
shut
down
in
the
last
2-3
months),
and
she
also
managed
to
weather
the
worst
part
of
COVID-19
lockdown
so
far.
