Competition on television is so high these days that if your show fails to grab audiences’ attention within one or two months of hitting the tube, the channel won’t think twice before axing it. The same seems to have happened with the new &TV show, Mitegi Laxman Rekha.
Launched with much fanfare, Shashi-Sumeet Productions’ soap hit the airwaves on 29 June. The show tried its best to attract the audience with its innovative concept and fresh pairing, but nothing worked in its favour. Now, reports are coming in that the channel has decided to pull it down due to low TRPs.
A reliable source confirms to an entertainment portal that the last episode of the show will go on air on 31 August. The makers have been informed by the channel about this sudden development.
The show bidding adieu to the audience within 2 months of its launch indeed comes as a shocker. It is yet to be known that which new show will replace Mitegi Laxman Rekha on &TV.
