Here are some TV shows that went off air with making much impact
The Indian television industry is huge and so is its audience. But it doesn’t mean that television shows do not fail. While shows like Anupamaa, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Udaariyaan, Mithai (Bengali) to franchise like Naagin have been going strong, many TV shows despite a good cast and known production house failed to grab eyeballs. Many shows couldn’t even celebrate their one-year anniversary. Here’s the list—
Firang bahu fails
Anandibaa Aur Emily
The comedy drama, Anandibaa Aur Emily, relied on saas-bahu trope. It had a foreigner bahu, Emily, played by Jazzi Ballerini. Starting Mishkat Varma, and Kanchan Gupta, the show began in July and ended on November 1.
No takers
Swaran Ghar
After power couple Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta’s successful debut production, Udaariyaan, their second home production Swaran Ghar, with a fresh concept couldn’t find takers. Despite the experienced actors, Sangita Ghosh, Ronit Roy and Hiten Tejwani for a cast, the show is set to wrap on November 11, just one month short of completing a year.
Life span
Zindagi Mere Ghar Aana

Off it goes
Molkki

Not so sweet
Mithai
Mithai, a romantic comedy, is based on the successful Bengali TV show by the same name. While the original still airs on Zee Bangla and is available on Zee5, its Hindi adaptation, starring Debattama Saha and Aashish Bharadwaj, couldn’t create the same magic and fanfare. It went off air on September 24 after five months.
Weak story
Muskuraane Ki Wajah Tum Ho
Its airing timeline is from June 1 to September 23. Produced by Pia Bajpayee and Shaika Parween, it starred Tanvi Malhara, Kunal Jaisingh and Abhishek Malik. It couldn’t leave an impact on the viewers as it had a weak story.
