Mumbai: As Zee TV strengthens its primetime with the launch of its upcoming fiction show starring Shabir Ahluwalia – “Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan” on 2 May, the channel announces a shuffle of time slots for its ongoing fiction shows. While the new show premieres at 8 p.m on weekdays, the grand historical “Kashibai Bajirao Ballal” shifts to 10 p.m. “Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na” shifts to 10:30 p.m as “Aggar Tum Na Hote” draws to a close on 29 April.
“Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan” showcases a mature romance based in modern-day Vrindavan that takes everyone on the intriguing journey of Mohan (played by Shabir Ahluwalia) who was once a flamboyant charmer – someone who would have everyone swooning around him. But circumstances have robbed him of his smile, and he is now an intense brooding man with a wall built around him, the channel shared in a statement.
The narrative of “Kashibai Bajirao Ballal” has shifted to the blooming of romance between the grown-up Kashibai and Bajirao post the show’s recent seven-year leap and the birth of their first son Nanasaheb alongside all the developments that transpired in the Shaniwar Wada, the statement further added.
With a fiction launch during its weekday primetime and exciting high points to look forward to across all its fiction shows, the channel has its viewers enthralled over the weekend with the super talented brat-pack of young dancing sensations on “DID L’il Masters,” which has opened up to a warm welcome from the audience. Over the coming weekend, followers of “DID L’il Masters” can look forward to a tribute to the late Lata Mangeshkar by her own sister – Asha Bhosle who makes a special appearance on the show, said the channel.
