New start for Kuch Toh Log Kahenge with a new slot
Helmed by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut, Sony TV’s Kuch Toh Log Kahenge was launched amidst a great fanfare. Based on Pakistani series Dhoop Kinare, the show was supposed to recreate the magic of it and score high.

But sadly, it always remained in light due to the news surrounding off camera rather than the drama created on-screen. It first bagged attention when the male lead Mohnish Behl opted out of the show and Sharad Kelkar walked in to portray the role of Dr Ashutosh.

Ever since Mohnish’s exit, the CVs are looking out ways of bringing in a fresh twist so as to maintain the numbers. At present, it’s the wedding sequence of Dr Nidhi (Kritika Kamra) and Dr Ashutosh, which is working all fine for them. But looks like the ill-fate is not going to leave the show so soon! So far KTLK was airing its repeat telecast at the 11 PM slot; however, with Hats off Productions’ upcoming show Byah Hamari Bahu Ka taking the 8 PM slot, tables have changed for the former.

Most likely, KTLK will air fresh content at the 11 PM slot to be brought into immediate effect from May 28. Talking about the change in time slot, Rajan Shahi said, “I have also heard about it but have not been told anything officially by the channel. However, I would be glad if the show airs fresh content at 11pm, as that is the time when we get better TRPs and more viewers”.

Let’s see if this time change is of any help!

When the promos of Rajan Shahi’s show Kuch Toh Log Kahenge started making rounds around September 2011, it was expected that the show will make big at the small screen.

Also, it was the remake of Pakistan’s blockbuster show, Dhoop Kinare, so the chances of it being a hit, was more. It opened with a bang on Sony TV, but now it is at all-time low. Somewhere down the line the show slipped and today it's rock-bottom in terms of television rating points (TRPs).

The channel was banking heavily on this serial and its no-show has come as a huge disappointment. It started with Mohnish Behl and Kritika Kamra but sometime ago Mohnish was replaced by Sharad Kelkar as Dr. Ashutosh. We wonder exactly what went wrong with show.

When sources contacted few viewers to find out the reason, it was learnt that they feel the older man-younger woman concept was too close to that of Ram Kapoor-Sakshi Tanwar's serial Bade Acche Lagte Hain.

And then Mohnish's quitting is also one of the reasons for the show slipping further. "The show was anyway low on TRPs and now with Mohnish not being there, it has hit an all-time low," observes a telly watcher.

As we all know Mohnish Behl has left Sony TV’s Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, and now days his role is reprised by Sharad Kelkar.

It's been two weeks since this change has been implemented, and though Sharad maybe doing a decent job, it's taking time for the audience to accept him as Dr. Ashutosh. Most people thought that Behl and Kritika Kamra (who plays Dr. Nidhi in the serial) made for a lovely couple and shared good chemistry.

Living up to that standard seems to be a mean feat for Sharad, who is a popular TV actor himself. The producers of the serial always knew it was going to be a tough job to get the audiences to accept the change; however, they are confident that given some more time, it won't matter too much.

Sudha Ashar, a housewife who religiously follows the serial says, "Mohnish Behl brought a little more maturity to the character. I enjoyed watching him and Dr. Nidhi together. They made a good pair. Yes, I feel something is missing now, but I still watch the serial."

Jyoti Suri, a fan of Sharad Kelkar's says, "I've enjoy watching him. I'll give him some time to settle down. Yes Mohnish Behl was good, but I don't think Sharad Kelkar as Dr. Ashutosh is bad at all."

Well, we also feel that Sharad will successfully win the hearts of audiences in coming days!
