Yes, its true, the famous SONY TV daily soap Pehredaar Piya Ki has been pulled off and is shifted to from prime time to late night slot. It is shocking, since it is the first time in the history of television, BCCC has asked this show to go off-air.
This show was slammed for using ‘regressive content’ that is promoting child marriage and thereby misleading and influencing the viewers. Pehredaar Piya Ki spins around a 10-year-old kid who gets married to a 18-year-old young lady. The wedding was not for affection nor any bargain, but rather simply because the young lady had guaranteed the kid’s dying father to be his long lasting pehredaar (defender).
The show is said to have aired its last episode o 28th August,2017. In a statement issued by SONY channel regarding this TV show they say, ““Effective 28th August 2017, we are pulling off our programme, 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.”
It is a shock for all the crew and cast who have invested so much time and energy, but not to worry guys, SONY channel will come up with new and exciting shows for you!
