Sujata slot changed
Sony has shifted its primetime soap Sujata from 10.00 pm to 7.30 p.m., apparently due to low TRPs.
But lead star Indrani Haldar refutes it. “We had steady TRPs, which had gone down only once.
But it’s the channel’s decision, if they think the serial will get better viewership at 7.30 it’s fine by me. I have been getting a positive feedback from everyone who has seen it in India and even abroad,” says the actress, who is getting many offers for serials and films. “I couldn’t take up the film offers because Sujata takes up all my time. Having said that, let me tell you Sujata is a big project and I enjoy doing it.”
