Sony Entertainment Television to axe Ladies Special

There is nothing new in general entertainment channels pulling the plug on low-performing shows and make way for upcoming content. The latest show which is set to bid adieu to audiences soon is Sony Entertainment Television’s Ladies Special.

Produced by Optimystix Entertainment, Ladies Special premiered on 27th November, 2019. It revolves around three working women coming from different walks of life. They meet in a Mumbai ladies special local train and become good friends in no time.


Though launched with much fanfare, the show just failed to replicate the success of its predecessor and never garnered good TRPs. According to some reports, megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati will replace Ladies Special. The eleventh season of the popular game reality show is expected to start in August.

Ladies Special, which currently airs at 9.30 PM, will make its exit from the programming of the channel, while Patiala Babes, which airs at 9 PM, will be allotted a different time slot. KBC will be broadcast from 9 to 10 PM.

  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
