The entertainment industry in our country suffered a major loss, ever since the lockdown has been announced from mid March due to the outbreak of Coronavirus. As the shooting of all the shows, films and web-series came to a standstill, many TV shows went off-air. Recently, Ekta Kapoor too announced that her much hyped show Naagin 4 will come to an end as soon as the lockdown ends and now makers have pulled the plug on TV serial Vidya staring Meera Deosthale in a lead role.

The Colors TV show, is the latest TV show to be terminated during the ongoing lockdown.
The social drama had premiered in September 2019 on Colors TV, and will be discontinued once the lockdown is lifted.


Producer of the show Mahesh Pandey took to Instagram to pen a long note saying that he's shocked to know that Vidya has been terminated by the immediate effect. He mentioned that the show suffered due to the lockdown and called it 'COVID-19 Death'.

"Good Bye VIDYA. On 1st June 2020, I got a call that our Show VIDYA is being terminated with immediate effect... I was shocked and felt really bad. I had a lot of questions. Why such a decision so suddenly? Since Vidya started, we have been a slot leader at 7 P.M," the show's producer Mahesh Pandey wrote on Instagram.


"Vidya's story is still incomplete. She has not become a teacher yet. I was perplexed and rattled. I sat down and then realised, Vidya was affected by Corona. It's a COVID-19 death," Pandey added.

Despite "her premature demise", the producer said the show's journey of 163 episodes was beautiful.

"Vidya might have been an uneducated teacher but she surely taught me a few things. Vidya was my 1st solo production. People often say that you love your first child the most, and on the same thought, Vidya will always be very special for us all at Mahesh Pandey Productions," he said.

The emotional producer thanked the team in the lengthy note.

He concluded on a hopeful note. "THIS IS NOT THE END YET. We shall meet again, soon! Jai Durga Maiyaan. Aye Vidyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," he wrote.
