Colors axes yet another recently launched show

Colors, which is one of the leading general entertainment channels in Hindi, is known for offering a wide variety of shows on its network. From light-hearted shows to dramas which focus on various social issues, the channel always prides on having an impressive bouquet of programming for the audience.

However, some of its recently launched shows have failed to strike a chord with the audience and showing no sign of mercy, the channel is axing them one by one. Not only the recently launched shows, but some of its long-running shows are also bidding adieu to the audience.


After Tantra, Sitara, Ishq Mein Marjawan, Roop and Udaan, the latest show which is being pulled down by Colors is Kesari Nandan, which hit the airwaves barely six months ago. It was given a huge launch. However, ratings have been disappointing.

We hear that Colors will beam the final episode of Kesari Nandan on Friday 12th July 2019. It has an impressive star cast which includes the likes of Manav Gohil, Aastha Chaudhary and Chahat Tewani in important roles.

Colors is gearing up to launch a number of new shows in the coming weeks including Choti Sarrdaarni, Bahu Begum and Luv Kush. Bigg Boss is also returning with its 13th season in the month of September.
