If you thought that only Sahara is getting (in)famous for pulling off shows midway, think again. Reliable sources inform us that Star Plus is keen to take at least three shows off air. Mind you, biggies! Monday's <em>Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand</em>. Tuesday's <em>Kehta Hai Dil</em>. Wednesday's <em>Sanjivani- A Medical Boon</em>. Thursday's <em>Saara Akaash</em> may just about escape. But the channel has a problem. They don't have shows which are ready to replace these. Even if they have one or two, as our sources say, Star wouldn't go ahead with those immediately.
