Pehredaar Piya Ki Producers: Taking A Show Off Air Is Like Suffering A Miscarriage
It came as a shock to the viewers and the actors of the show when Sony TV did not air the controversial show Pehredaar Piya Ki on Monday (Aug 28) night. Here’s what the producer of the show, Sumeet Mittal has to say about pulling off the show...
Finally, Sony
TV’s much talked about show Pehredaar Piya Ki has gone off air. However, it all
happened very suddenly. Reportedly, the decision was taken last moment by the
channel due to the pressure created by I&B Minister Smriti Zubin
Irani.
After the channel
issued an official statement yesterday about discontinuing the show, producer
Sumeet Mittal has spoken at length with a leading daily about the painful
decision. He said, “It's a very painful process to end the show abruptly. It
surely feels bad. Taking a show off air is like suffering a miscarriage. We
work hard for each of our creation, without thinking about the outcome. Whether
the show works or not, we put in the same amount of hard work and passion. We
didn't want to wait for the audience to reject our show,"

Talking about the
decision of suddenly discontinuing the show, he explained, "It's wasn't a
sudden decision. We have been discussing it internally with the channel ever
since the change in time slot was decided. We were sceptical about it and not
convinced. We wrote the story keeping the prime time audience in mind and
change in the slot would have given us no output. Hence, we decided to end the
show mutually. It was a difficult call, but we had to do it."
For the audiences
who were surprised with the news, he said, "We treat audience as an asset
so we don't want to lose them. We will return with a new show and the same team
very soon. In fact, we have started working on the same. The next show will
have a better story. The actors will be with us till then."

Pehredaar Piya Ki
has been in controversy ever since the first promo of show aired.
Yesterday, Sony
TV raised an official statement to confirm the news, "Effective 28th
August 2017, we are pulling off our programme, Pehredaar Piye Ki, from
television. While we understand that the decision to end this serial will be
disappointing to those whose creative energies are vested in it, namely, its
crew and cast, we (as a channel) are convinced that we will be better served by
focusing instead on developing viewer interest in our upcoming, new shows. We
are grateful to all the artists, producers and fans of our shows and request
you to graciously support the viewership of our newer ventures.”
