Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga to Naagin 5; popular TV shows that will go off-air

Gone are the days when television shows ran for 10-12 years at a stretch. With evolving times, the choice for the kind of content have also evolved, and the audience gets bored with the same taste, and attracting the viewers each time is a big job. Shows like Naagin 5, Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga and The Kapil Sharma Show that entertained the masses thoroughly, are all set to go off-air. This news might come across as major disappointment for the fans, let's take a look at other shows that are bidding adieu to the audience too.

Spearheaded by Kapil Sharma, and featuring Kapil, Bharti Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar, Sumona Chakravarti and Archana Puran Singh, the show won't air from mid-February onwards. The reason behind the show is the pandemic. Confirming the exit of the show from the small screens, a source told ETimes TV, "Kapil's show has been a favourite with masses because of many reasons. The audience participation was one driving factor for the show. Currently, there is no live audience due to the pandemic. Films too are not releasing and so, Bollywood actors are not coming to the show for any film promotion. So, the makers felt that it would be ideal to take a break right now and return when things get back to normal." The source also added that they might return after three months, and Kapil and wife Ginni are expecting their second baby, so this break was a much needed one for him. (Photo: Instagram)

Supernatural show Naagin 5 starring Surbhi Chandna, Sharad Malhotra and Mohit Sehgal impressed everyone during the initial days. As time passed by, the show fell down on the TRP charts and couldn't bounce back. Despite the glam quotient and a powerful starcast, Naagin 5 failed to impress. The show is all set to go off-air on February 21. Speaking about the development, a source told ETimes TV, "Naagin 5' will go off air in February after a six-month run. The date is not yet final. The team is already aware of the development. The last episode will be shot by the end of this month." Reportedly, another Ekta Kapoor show based on vampires is likely to replace this slot.

Siddharth Nigam and Ashi Singh's fantasy show, Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga is coming to an end after a successful run of two-and-a-half-years. "It is going to be very difficult to live without playing Aladdin. All the cast and crew is sad after hearing the news. But as the saying goes all good things come to an end. Everyone on the set is positive but sad at the same time. It is not confirmed yet but mostly the show might come to an end on February 5," said Siddharth while confirming the news to ETimes TV.

The decision of ending the show was taken overnight by the producers. Hiten Tejwani was taken aback to learn about this shocking development by watching a promo of the new show replacing Gupta Brothers. Speaking to Times Of India about it, Hiten said that he knew the show wasn't doing well but nobody was ready for such a decision so soon. Adding further, the actor said that more than the actor, the cast and crew is affected and it isn't possible for them to find suitable jobs during this pandemic. (Photo: Instagram)

Featuring Rajesh Kumar and Nyra Banerjee - the comedy series Excuse Me Maadam went off air on December 10, 2020. Speaking about the same, Rajesh had then said, "We were very disappointed when we got to know that the show will end soon. It was a setback for everyone. We had just resumed work after sitting at home for months due to the pandemic. And after just three months of resuming work, we were told that the show will wrap up in just 20 days. It’s difficult for any actor but at the same time, I understand that there are several factors responsible for it. Maybe, it didn’t get the TRPs which the makers were hoping for. OTT has also posed a great challenge for television viewership." (Photo: Instagram)
