The popular TV serial Diya Aur Bati Hum' is set to end soon and it seems the show that will be its replacement on Star Plus could be Mahesh Bhatt's TV adaptation of the film Zakhm' (1998) which starred daughter Pooja Bhatt, Ajay Devgn and Sonali Bendre.

An insider revealed to Deccan Chronicle, "Mahesh Bhatt is all set to start his television innings with a brand new fiction show. The show is partially based on his famous 1999 directorial Zakhm, which starred actor Ajay Devgn and Bhatt's daughter Pooja in the lead roles. The show will be aired on Star Plus and will replace the channel's most-popular ongoing show, Diya Aur Baati Hum in September this year."

Interestingly, Bhatt recently announced his chat show too and it seems he really is leaping on to the small screen in a big way.

Confirmation is yet to come from Star Plus.

Star Plus' popular show, Diya Aur Baati Hum (Shashi Sumeet Productions) has had a phenomenal run of five years!! The names of Sooraj and Sandhya have become household names, and the simple and realistic story of a girl getting unconditional support from her husband to meet a balance between work and house, has created warmth in the viewers' minds.

Now, it is time to bid adieu to the show!! As per the news coming in, 11 September will be the final airing date of this cult show.

As per sources, "Diya Aur Baati Hum will wrap up on a good note, with peace and justice prevailing after the high-voltage child trafficking drama. Though the team has not locked the climax track, we hear that the child trafficking track will go on for the whole month of August, wherein there will be many highs and lows in the Rathi family."

As reported by Tellychakkar.com, work has begun on a probable Season 2 of Diya Aur Baati Hum. If it does happen, the show will not see the leads Anas Rashid and Deepika Singh taking centrestage. Instead, the show will have new leads. The latest we hear is that auditions have started for the Season 2 of DABH. Also, few of the present characters will be retained.

We tried buzzing Producer Sumeet Mittal, but could not get any reply from him.

Our efforts to reach out to the channel spokesperson were in vain.

Get ready to bid the team a happy farewell...
