Breaking Pehredaar Piya Ki’ will going off air from 28th August

[Manu]

We have confirmed reports that the makers of Pehredaar Piya Ki have stopped shooting the show as of Monday, 28 August. This decision by the producers has been taken as they are anticipating a decision by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting regarding the fate of the show. If some sources are to be believed, the government might just pull the plug on Pehredaar Piya Ki after the widespread protests that the show has met with.

The controversial show, which revolves around a 9-year-old boy’s marriage to a 19-year-old girl, has been receiving severe criticism on several fronts, and it even set off an online viewer’s petition demanding a ban on the show. The petition called Pehredaar Piya Ki “obnoxious and perverted”.

While the makers of Pehredaar Piya Ki defended their show, on 17 August, the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) asked Sony to move the show from its 8.30pm slot to the 10pm slot. They also asked the channel to run the show with a disclaimer saying that it does not promote child marriage.

Meanwhile, the makers themselves recently announced that the show would be taking a 12 year leap. The boy in Pehredaar Piya Ki would be 21-years-old after the time leap and so of a marriageable age. Though this move seems to be an attempt at some damage control by the producers of the show, they denied any such attempt clarifying that it was a part of the plot.

Finally show going off air
However, in an official Statement from Sony TV, it is clearly stated that the show will be going off air from 28 August 2017. It states, “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.”
