Zee TV’s Saru is one of the most popular shows that is gaining viewers’ attention due to its unique storyline. Meanwhile, it has been struggling in the TRP chart for many days. Recently, Star Plus’s Taara and Jhanak got the notice to shut it down.  Now, Saru has also joined the same list as Zee TV has decided to pull its plug.

Starring Shagun Pandey and Mohak Matkar, the show gained initial attention from the viewers since its beginning in May 2025. Meanwhile, it started to struggle to hold its audience after a few weeks.  It received the TRP ratings of 0.6 last week, which is considered low.   

Low ratings always affect advertising value, scheduling plans, and future programming decisions. This is because channels sometimes choose to close the struggling show and bring a new one instead. 

Zee TV reportedly followed the same trend and decided to end Saru. But the last episode date has not been announced as of now.

Title and Story Still Under Wraps

The title and concept of the new show are also much-awaited shows. Neither the production house nor the channel has shared the official details about it as of now. 

It means that the show is still under early development. Channels usually wait until the casting is locked and promotional material is ready. Entertainhubvibe will update you whenever any insight comes. 

If the show replaces Saru, you can predict teasers and promos closer to launch. 

What This Means for Saru Fans

The reports might be disappointing news for the fans of Saru. When a show ends suddenly, the audience usually feels their journey was cut short. The makers might give the show a proper ending soon. 

It means that fans have a few days to enjoy the chemistry between Saru and Ved. Till the official update regarding the last episode date comes, they should only watch the show.
