MUMBAI: For probably the first time on Indian television,
Star Plus is marrying two prime time rival shows in a programming
coup of sorts.

(Shweta Tiwari) and Anurag (Cezanne Khan) in Kasautii Zindagi
Kay
On 27 October, the week when both Kasautii Zindagi Kay and
Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand turn two years old, Star Plus has
decided to try a novel tack by bringing both serials together in a
special one and half hour episode. The channel seems to have landed
a programming coup of sorts by getting Kasauti producer Balaji
Telefilms and Des Mein producer AK Films pool their talents
for this special one off, although the title of this particular episode
is yet to be decided, say channel officials. Will it be Kasautii
Mein Niklla Hoga Chand?

(Sangeeta Ghosh) in Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand
As per the proposed show outline, to be aired from 8:30 to 10:00 pm,
Anurag Basu's sister Tapur from Kasautii will tie the knot
with Pammi's cousin Bubbles Singh from Des Mein on the special
episode, bringing the Basu and Singh families together. This also
throws up interesting possibilities about the future course the two
shows could take, but the channel is not saying more as of now, except
to maintain that this is possibly the first time such an innovative
twist is being introduced on any show on Indian television.
