The current crisis facing the TV industry has resulted in an untimely end for 9X’s weekend show <em> Ajeeb </em>. This Bonnie Jain production, which was to run for 24 episodes, couldn’t complete it’s tenure as the shoot was halted due to the strike, first called by FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) and then by the Producer’s Guild.

The newly launched shows <em> Ajeeb </em> and <em>Rubi </em> on 9X have now changed their bi-weeklies status to that of a daily. Currently <em> Rubi </em> airs on Monday and Tuesday and <em> Ajeeb </em> on Wednesday and Thursday at 9.30 pm. According to a source from <em> Rubi </em>, “It becomes rather difficult to keep the audiences hooked to a show which runs for an hour so it has been decided to transform it into a half an hour daily.”

Manish Goel who is currently seen in<em> Zara Nachke Dikha</em> will now be seen in 9X's <em>Ajeeb</em>. The actor who has dislocated his shoulder during the dance show will essay the role of an alcoholic named Anthony.

The new show titled <em> Ajeeb </em> which is slated to air from 27 August on Wednesday and Thursday will showcase popular TV actors like Sakshi ‘Parvati’ Tanwar , Shweta ‘Prerna’ Tiwari , Varun Badola , Tanaaz and Bhakhtiyar Irani . According to a source from the production house, “The show is a medical thriller and it will show different cases of patients getting robbed of their organs, other goof ups and dark secrets of hospitals.”

After announcing the pull off of its alleged flagship shows like<em> Mere Apne, Jiya Jale</em> and<em> Dahhej,</em>9X is all set to air two brand new shows titled <em>Ruby</em> , a BAG production and <em>Ajeeb</em> from Bonnie Jain Productions Private Limited. While<em>Ruby</em> is slated to air from 25 August on Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 pm, Ajeeb will start airing from 27 August on Wednesday and Thursday at the same time. Both these shows will fill in for<em> Jiya Jale,</em> which is nearing its end.
