Our source says, “
Chand Chupa Badal Mein was not getting good numbers in the prime time slot and recently it was also tipped to go off air. But Star Plus decided to change its slot instead of pulling it off so that the prime time slot is free. The channel has also decided to use their top rated shows
Saathiya and
Sasural Genda Phool to their fullest and now both the shows will be aired for 45 minutes each till May end. The reason behind the change in the time slot is Star Plus’ new offering Four Lions Films and Pangalosean Entertainments’
Vaidehi.”
