Colors Bangla is launching a new serial called Jahaanara with Payel De in a key role.

Ajay Krish aka Priyam of <em> Ardhangini</em> is all set with his future plans after the show goes off air. It was recently reported that the small screen <em> Devdas</em> saga could not hold the audience for a long time and thus the team has decided to pull it off air. We ask the actor of what’s next on his plate? “I’m very interested in doing cameos in serials. Though I did get a few offers for the same but due to my commitment for <em> Ardhangini </em> I could not take them up,” says Ajay.

It seems that pulling the not so popular shows off-air unceremoniously has become the flavour of the season. The latest in line is Zee’s <em> Ardhangini,</em> the love story of Kangana (Sudeepa Singh) and Priyam (Ajay Krissh). The show portrays the power of women in Indian families. <em> Ardhangini</em> is about a stunningly beautiful woman whose beauty becomes a hurdle in her love life. The show was launched in September with much fan-fare. It’s been just five months and the show is now slated to be pulled-off.

<em> Ardhangini</em> has remained in the news for its lavish sets and an offbeat love story. Though the show started off well but gradually the TRPs began to drop. Now the latest buzz in the industry is that this dream project of Zee is soon to go off air. The actors though have denied the rumours. The latest TAM reading rates <em> Ardhangini</em> at 1.06. Yet another buzz is that the lead characters Ajay Krish and Sudeepa may be replaced. To clear the clouds we called up Priyam (Ajay) to know the truth.

Sudha Chandran who is currently seen in Balaji’s <em> Kuchh Is Tara</em> has bagged a new show on Zee. She has entered as Moushmi in Jai Mehta’s <em> Ardhangini</em> recently. The dancer turned actress is content with her two dailies and one show on Jaya TV. “I always wanted to do a show on Zee and Jai Mehta offered me a good role in his show. I can’t resist good roles and thus I went ahead with <em>Ardhangini,</em>” says Sudha. She has earlier worked with Jai Mehta in<em> Solhah Sringaarr</em> on Sahara One.

Though she plays Bipasha in Zee’s <em> Ardhangini,</em> Monaz Mevawala is not as bold as her namesake. The vivacious girl refused to shoot an intimate scene with Ajay Krish. After expressing her inhibitions, the director did alter the scene but Monaz still wasn’t comfortable with the canned shot and requested that the particular scene be taken off. The director did not accede to her request.

As <em>Mamta</em> is all set to wind up, Jay Mehta's upcoming show <em> Ardhangini</em> is ready to take over the empty time slot. The love story has rolled in Ajay Krissh of <em> Mamta</em> fame and Sudeepa of<em> Kabhi To Nazar Milao</em> fame as lead actors.
