Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season actor Ribbhu Mehra wraps shooting: 'I was surprised with the channel’s decision to take it off-air' - Exclusive

Ribbhu Mehra

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain has been one of the most popular shows on television. With Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor playing the main characters, the first season on Sony TV had a huge fan base. Their chemistry was visually stunning and refreshing.

Given its three successful seasons, the show was projected to achieve high ratings for its fourth season titled Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season, starring Shivangi Joshi and Harshad Chopda in the key roles.

Shivangi and Harshad's chemistry has been much-liked, but there have been a number of reports that the show isn't doing well because it wasn't well promoted.

The show is set to go off-air and now we have news that the cast will wrap shooting for the same tomorrow (September 2).

In the show, Ribbhu Mehra was a major character as Nikhil, the ex-lover of Bhagyashree (Shivangi Joshi). Nikhil returns to Bhagyashree's life after a six-month absence, repentant and wishing for another opportunity.

Moneycontrol got in touch with Ribbhu to know his views on the show going off-air and his experience shooting for the same. He shared, “Well, I always knew that Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season was a finite show. After the twist where my character Nikhil was introduced in a love triangle, the story did pick up pace and the TRPs increased too. The story was going great, however, it came as a surprise to me that the channel decided to pull the plug on the show as I got so many messages from fans as to why it was not given an extension.”

He further added, “There are people who have been trending the show and viewers have loved the storyline. People over the internet have also been tagging the channel for the same. Nevertheless, it was a small yet beautiful journey and I enjoyed shooting with the entire team. Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopda are fabulous actors and so are the directors. I definitely feel that the show should have got an extension but the decision was not in our favour.”
