The TV show Chikoo Ki Mummy Durr Kei is wrapping up on January 7. The show, which has Paridhi Sharma, Vaishnavi Prajapati and Himanshu Malhotra playing important roles, is going off air in just four months.
Paridhi, who plays the lead character Nupur Joshi and Chikoo’s mother in the show, says, “It is very disappointing. I have not got an official confirmation on the show wrapping up but if the news is true, then it is very sad. It is also the nature of television business. It is quite unpredictable what will work for a longer time and what will not.”
Producer Nilanjana Purkayasstha admits that she was not happy with the time slot given to the show. She says, “Our show was telecast in the early evening slot and therefore we lost out on good viewership. Also, it needed to be given a fair chance and some more time to connect with the viewers. People are yet to warm up to early evening entertainment on television.”
Paridhi adds, “If audiences are not ready to watch a show in an early evening slot, nothing much can be done. We have all given it our best and there is still time for the show to wrap up, so we are all working hard.”
Chikoo Ki Mummy is a remake of a Bengali show Maa…Tomay Chara Ghum Ashena. The show revolved around how a three-year old girl Payal is kidnapped and separated from her family for around seven years and the girl grows up to be a dancer.
