MUMBAI: The battle to keep Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi alive and running is not over as Balaji Telefilms, content producer of the once top-rated show on Indian television, has said that it would continue to pursue legal remedies against Star India.
Balaji's petition was dismissed by a single judge of the Bombay High Court on 3 November. An appeal filed against that order was also dismissed by a division bench of the Bombay HC on 7 November.
Balaji had moved the Bombay High Court challenging Star Group's decision to terminate the longest running daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi from 10 November.
Flagging ratings and a premium charge for the content had fuelled Star to send a termination notice.
Balaji Telefilms's contention was that their show, the longest running soap on Star Plus, wasn’t promoted by the channel.
