Ashnoor Kaur On Patiala Babes Going Off-Air Amidst Lockdown: ‘COVID-19 Has Taken Away A Lot From Us’- EXCLUSIVE
Sony TV abruptly ended 3 of its ongoing shows- Patiala Babes, Beyhadh 2 and Isharo Isharo Mein owing to the pandemic crisis in the country. We spoke to Ashnoor Kaur who played the lead role in Patiala Babes. The actress seemed to be quite heartbroken by the sudden end of the show.

It must have been a huge shock to know that your show Patiala Babes is going off-air?
When you are shooting for a show and living a character for almost one and half year, you do get really attached to it. Patiala Babes is a show which was like family for me. It was a heartbreaking moment for me to know that the show is going off-air. But we really can’t do much as this has happened due to COVID-19.

Do you feel that the channel made the right decision?
I guess the channel has taken the decision with the trust of everyone. I can't say much about it, but I am going to miss it a lot. I am emotional and it will take some time to get over it.

But the decision is going to impact several people financially, especially the crew…
Coronavirus has left its impact all over the world economy. Not just the crew or us, but even the channel has been facing a lot of financial problems. I just pray that things are normal soon enough and people find work again. 



How badly do you feel the audience will miss this show post lockdown?
I would say that Patiala Babes and my character Mini may have ended now, but it is going to live on for forever. And I will always cherish the memories we shared on sets. 


What was the last scene you shot before the lockdown was announced?
The last scene was wherein I stand up for Neel played by Saurabh who was paired opposite me in the show. I hold his hand and say that will see you in the court. I remember, on the last day, we shot continuously for 21 hours without any break because of course we were in the mood to wind up the episode so that we can have this hook-point where the audience will be excited to see what happens next after the lockdown. 

What was planned for the audience in the story ahead?
After the lockdown, we had this entire journey of how we fight. And of course the love story was supposed to develop. Then, my entire journey which had begun from Season 1 of a girl who never believed in love and never forgave her father, eventually falling for Neel and also forgiving her father. Those emotional moments which were supposed to be beautifully portrayed on the show ahead. But I guess, corona has thrashed away a lot from us. 



What are your plans this year?
I have my 12th exams this year. So, I want to focus on my studies and will be very selective in taking any kind of work.
