CELEBS FACTORY

The sudden shutdown of Hindi entertainment channel Imagine TV on Thursday has sent production houses, artists and employees in a state of shock. 

 “Imagine TV has not performed and grown as per expectations ... overall the channel was unable to achieve the ratings to sustain the business and support continued investment. As a result, Turner made the carefully considered decision to cease operations of the channel,” said Siddharth Jain, Managing Director- South Asia, Turner International India. Thereafter, the channel remained unavailable for comment on how they plan to compensate for the show-makers’ losses worth crores. 

While some of the primetime shows on the channel included Chandragupta Maurya, Sawaare Sabke Sapne - Preeto and Mi Aaji Aur Saheb, it’s Veena Ka Vivaah, the much-hyped swayamvar of Pakistani actor Veena Malik that has received the biggest blow even before it began. 

 “Veena is currently in the United Kingdom. Though the channel did not inform us about its closure, Veena knows about it now, and she’s very upset,” said Satish, actor Veena Malik's manager.

Veena may be disappointed with the sudden closure of Turner International's Imagine Television Channel and her much hyped search for her groom with 'Swayamvar 4: Veena Ka Vivaah', but Celebs Factory attempts to make it up to the actor and her fans with exclusive shots from Veena's sizzling photo shoot by Vishal Saxena.
