TRP Trouble? Shritama Mitra’s Aarti Anjali Awasthi To Go Off-Air in March

Television audiences may soon have to bid goodbye to one of Star Plus’ courtroom-family dramas. If the latest industry buzz is to be believed, Aarti Anjali Awasthi is all set to go off air in March 2026. The show, headlined by Shritama Mitra, has reportedly struggled to maintain steady ratings in recent weeks, prompting the makers to wrap up the story earlier than expected.

From ‘Advocate Anjali Awasthi’ to ‘Aarti Anjali Awasthi’: A Bold Shift

The show originally premiered as Advocate Anjali Awasthi on Star Plus in 2024. It began as a strong courtroom drama centered on a fearless female lawyer fighting against injustice and social evils. The initial episodes focused on intense legal battles, emotional confrontations, and a woman standing tall in a male-dominated system. Despite new faces, like Shritama Mitra and Ankit Raizada, the show succeeded in grabbing audience eyeballs. 

However, as the months passed, the makers decided to introduce a major storyline twist — a generational leap. The narrative transitioned to the next chapter, retitled Aarti Anjali Awasthi, shifting focus to the daughter’s journey while keeping the emotional legacy of Anjali alive. Notably, Puneet Chouksey replaced Ankit after the leap. 

Shritama Mitra took on layered responsibilities within the evolving narrative, which was appreciated by loyal viewers. The leap aimed to refresh the plot and reconnect with audiences through new conflicts and relationships.

What Went Wrong?

Despite an interesting premise and a strong lead performance, the show reportedly faced fluctuating TRPs. Industry insiders claim that the ratings did not meet expectations in the competitive primetime slot.

Television today is driven heavily by numbers, and even well-written shows struggle if viewership dips consistently. With several new launches lined up across channels, competition has become tougher than ever.

Sources indicate that the makers tried introducing dramatic twists and emotional turns to revive audience interest. However, the momentum did not translate into consistent growth in ratings. As a result, the channel and production house have reportedly decided to conclude the show in March rather than stretching the storyline unnecessarily.

What Can Viewers Expect in the Final Episodes?

If reports are accurate, the last few episodes will focus on giving proper closure to key story arcs. The makers are said to be planning an emotional yet satisfying conclusion.

Viewers can expect:

• Resolution of long-running family conflicts
• Emotional closure between central characters
• A strong final statement aligned with the show’s theme of justice and resilience

Instead of an abrupt ending, the team is reportedly working toward wrapping up the narrative respectfully for its loyal fanbase.

Shritama Mitra’s Performance Wins Praise

Even as the show prepares to end, Shritama Mitra’s performance has been one of its strongest highlights. Playing layered emotions, from strength and vulnerability to determination, she managed to leave an impression on viewers.

Her portrayal brought depth to the character and helped maintain emotional continuity even after the leap. For the actress, the show served as a significant television milestone, showcasing her versatility and screen presence.

What’s Next for the Time Slot?

With Aarti Anjali Awasthi reportedly exiting in March, all eyes are now on what will replace it. Television channels constantly shuffle programming based on performance metrics, and new fiction shows are already in the pipeline.

Instead of Aarti Anjali Awasthi, Krushal Ahuja, and Kanika Kapur’s Tara is set to replace it on 8 pm. It is expected to premiere in March 2026. However, the exact premiere date hasn’t been revealed yet. Watch its teaser below: 

Final Thoughts

If reports hold, March will mark the end of Aarti Anjali Awasthi on Star Plus. For fans, it’s a bittersweet moment — a reminder that every television journey eventually reaches its final episode.
