Sanjivani isn’t ending in December, confirms producer

Rumours have been rife lately that the popular medical drama Sanjivani is under scanner. Several media outlets have reported that Star Plus has decided to pull the plug on the show and that it will beam its final episode in the month of December. However, if the latest report is to be believed, Sanjivani is expected to stay on-air till its agreed date in January 2020.

The show, which hit the airwaves on 12th August, 2019, features Surbhi Chandna, Namit Khanna, Mohnish Bahl and Gurdeep Kohli on its cast. Sanjivani is a reboot version of the 2002 series of the same name, which revolves around the lives of a couple of resident doctors at Sanjivani Hospital. The new season was launched with much fanfare. However, the show failed to weave any magic and rumours about it being axed have been doing the rounds for a couple of weeks now.

Rubbishing all such rumours, producer Siddharth Malhotra says that his show is not bidding adieu in December. Talking to a popular entertainment portal, Malhotra informs, “We have not even been given a first notice formally. No official intimation but our contract signed is for six months since day one.”

If the channel decides to end the show, then it could telecast its final episode on Friday 10th January 2020. It will be interesting to see if Star Plus pulls it down before January. If the show manages to improve its ratings on the TRP charts, you never know if the channel decides to extend its run.

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.

Harvey Weinstein sexual crimes trial turns ugly due to jurors' infighting

The tense deliberations in Harvey Weinstein’s New York sex crimes retrial have descended into open conflict. Jurors are reportedly attacking each other, pressuring hold-outs, and improperly considering the disgraced movie mogul’s notorious past, information explicitly banned from their discussions. This internal strife forced the jury foreperson to urgently alert the judge on Monday morning about a “situation which isn’t very good”, casting serious doubt on their ability to reach a fair verdict.
