Sony Tv’s most controversial daily soap Pehredaar Piya Ki has been pulled off by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. There have been speculations about the show shifting to late night time slot or taking a leap. The plot of the show revolves around an 18-year-old girl marrying a nine-year-old boy due to which it had received a lot of negative comments from the viewers.
The episode of the show wasn't aired on Monday night. As per the reports in media, the channel has issued an official statement which reads, “We are pulling off our program Pehredaar Piya Ki from television. While we understand that the decision to end this serial will be disappointing to those whose creative energies are vested in it, namely, its crew and cast, we (as a channel) are convinced that we will be better served by focusing instead on developing viewer interest in our upcoming, new shows. We are grateful to all the artists, producers and fans of our shows and request you to graciously support the viewership of our newer ventures”.
Earlier in this month, the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) had decided that there should be a change in the time slot, also while airing there should be a scroll running that the show doesn’t promote child marriage. Pehredaar Piya Ki is produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions which went on air in the month of July.
