Kumkum Bhagya To Go Off Air Due To Low TRPs? Here's What We Know
Zee TV's Kumkum Bhagya, featuring Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul, will reportedly end next month due to low TRPs. The final episode airs on September 7, 2025. Zee TV's most popular show, Kumkum Bhagya, is reportedly going off air next month. Kumkum Bhagya started in 2014 with Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia as the main leads, and after multiple leaps and story changes, the show currently stars Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul as the fourth generation. But now, reports indicate that the makers have decided to end the show, considering poor TRPs. A source close to the development told IWMBUZZ, 'Kumkum Bhagya, which presently has Pranali Rathod, Namik Paul, and Akshay Bindra as the fourth-generation leads in the show, will soon go off air. The decision, apparently, has been made to end the long-running show. The show has been struggling with a drop in TRPs for some time now." While the officials are yet to confirm this news of the show going off air, it has been claimed in the report that the last episode of the family drama will air on September 7, 2025, marking the end of an 11-year journey of entertaining generations. While at first the plan wasn't to end the show, as per Gossips TV, when the makers of the show were offered a slot at 7 PM, the producer Ektaa Kapoor decided to reject the offer and instead took the decision to end it. Kumkum Bhagya began with Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia in the lead, followed by a generation leap that brought in Krishna Kaul and Mugdha Chaphekar. Later, Abrar Qazi and Rachi Sharma took over as leads, and currently, Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul headline the show. Now in its 11th year, Kumkum Bhagya stands as one of Indian television's longest-running shows. While reports hint that fans of Pranali and Namik may soon have to bid them goodbye, there has been no official confirmation about the show going off air. Meanwhile, talking about the show's producer, Ektaa Kapoor, recently made headlines as she rebooted the iconic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, starring actor and politician Smriti Irani. The show, which aired on July 29, promises emotional drama, strong family ties, and new twists, while holding on to the legacy that made it unforgettable. Whether you are a long-time fan or a new viewer, this reboot promises something for everyone. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
