Covid-19 has affected tv channels as you already know Star Life was airing only repeats during the month of April due to the lockdown that occurred in South Africa and India with most of their plans put in jeopardy.
Since April, the channel has only been filled with repeats of Chasing My Heart, Forever Yours and The Crossroads. The channel recieved major backlash from fans and forced others to temporarily distance themselves from the channel.
Before the lockdown was implemented, Star Life was set to introduce two new Hindi telenovelas which were Nazaar and Naamkarann to the channel.
Nazaar (The Evil Eye) follows the life of an evil Daayan, who worship the mother goddesses Kali and Durga. But as a devil, she was cursed by gods and captured into the human world. Jatinder Bhardwaj and Ankur Nayyar take up the lead role with Monalisa set to follow.
Naamkaran (My Identity) is the story of an illegitimate 11 year old girl, Avni Ayesha, who tries to give herself a legitimate identity despite cruel obstacles by her own grandmother Dayawanti Mehta. Aditi Rathore and Zain Imam take up the lead role with Reema Lagoo set to follow.
Both these series were originally set to air weekdays from 21:00 CAT but now the release dates for these shows are up in the air. The only thing I can confirm is there's still plans to air the show on the channel.
