Star Plus extends Bidaai and Yeh Rishta timing..

It looks like Star Plus wants to really cash in more on their two top-rated shows coming from Directors' Kut, Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.

According to the latest news, both the shows Bidaai and Yeh Rishta have a festive environment with the weddings of Alekh-Sadhana and Naitik-Akshara coming up respectively. So the channel has decided to increase the duration of both shows to 45 minutes starting from 8th July, and this 45 minutes special will be seen till 14th July, 2009. As a result of this, Endemol's Sabki Laadli Bebo which is aired at the 10 PM slot will be pushed to 10.30 PM.

We tried getting a confirmation from Rajan Shahi of Directors' Kut, but he remained unavailable for comments.

Our source in Sabki Laadli Bebo was also clueless about such a time change.

In Bidaai, one can look forward to the engrossing remarriage of Alekh and Sadhana while Yeh Rishta is focusing on Naitik's dilemma whether or not to marry Akshara.

After this small phase, Star Plus will be launching their new show Sach Ka Saamna on July 15th at the 10.30 PM slot from Monday to Friday..
