The TV Czarina had revealed that a new season of ‘Naagin’ will hit the airwaves after the fourth season goes off air.



Another show on a leading GEC will bid adieu to the views. We are talking about ‘Meri Gudiya’.

According to a report in an entertainment portal, the makers of the show have decided to not continue it after the lockdown. The show stars Aalisha Panwar and Gaurav S Bajaj in lead roles.



"Since the story majorly revolved around the daughter, Avi and considering child artistes are not allowed to shoot, as per government guidelines, the makers thought it's best to end the show," a source told SpotboyE.

‘Meri Gudiya’ focused on the story of a mother-daughter duo of Madhuri and Avi. It showcased the eternal bond a mother shares with his daughter even after her death. The show was launched in December 2019 and couldn’t enjoy a long run on the small screen.
