Ankit Gupta shares his thoughts on Junooniyatt going off-air

In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Ankit Gupta who essayed the character of Jahaan in Junooniyatt expressed his thoughts on the show's closure. He said, "I think Junooniyatt was doing quite well. We had 1.3 TRP the last week, which makes the show number 2 or number 3 among all the shows on Colors. I feel there are poorer shows on the channel that are still on-air. But abhi kya bol sakte hai (what can one say). The decision has been taken by the channel and I'm sure there might be some internal discussion about the same before pulling the plug on the show. We have to respect the decision taken by the channel."

Ankit Gupta reveals having an idea about Junooniyatt going off-air

We asked Ankit if the news of Junooniyatt going off-air came as a surprise to him. The Udaariyaan actor said, "Well, not really! Honestly, I had an idea when we were shooting a recent promo wherein I put Sindoor in Elahi's hairline. I told somebody on the set either the show is shutting or it is slated to take a leap. Four days later, Sargun (Mehta) came on the sets and announced that the show was going off-air."
