&TV to pull the plug on Siddhi Vinayak

After having a successful run of over a year, romantic television series Siddhi Vinayak, which airs on &TV, is set to bid adieu to the audience, if reports are to be believed.

After launching supernatural series Daayan earlier this month, the channel was looking at allotting a time slot to its upcoming show, Ardhangini, starring Avinash Sachdev and Anjali Priya in lead roles.


Since Siddhi Vinayak was not doing a great job as far as TRP is concerned, the channel decided to bring the curtain down on it. It’s expected to be replaced by Ardhangini.

“After the launch of Daayan on &TV, the Essel Vision show Ardhangini, which will be the remake of the Tamil serial, Yaaradee Nee Mohini, will have to get a slot in the near future. And the show which is likely to bite the dust is Siddhi Vinayak,” reveals a credible source.

Produced by Prashant Bhatt and Sanjay Memane under the banner of Studio B&M, Siddhi Vinayak stars Nitin Goswami and Farnaz Shetty in lead roles.

An official announcement is awaited.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • 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.
