• Last Episode, Today Episode
• The ratings of the climax episode of popular daily soap Karthika Deepam that ended on January 23 are out. Here's a peek into its TRP performance and possible factors that helped the show end on a high note. The latest TRP report is out and Karthika Deepam starring Nirupam Paritala, Premi Viswanath, Shobha Shetty and others, which ended on January 23, has registered some impressive TRPs for its climax.
  
• According to the TRP report, Karthika Deepam's climax episode has raked in good TRPs. The viewership has increased towards the climax on Monday when compared to the ratings of the pre-climax episode on Saturday's (January 21) episode. The fact that the show, which used to be the most watched Teulgu daily soap, is ending along with the curiosity over Karthik-Deepa's fate and Monitha's death has apparently worked in favour of the show and helped it record a good finish in terms of the TRP performance.
  
• Karthika Deepam has ended on a cryptic note with Karthik taking away Deepa, who is struggling to breath due to her cardiac issue, after the latter accidentally shoots their villain Monitha. They even survive Monitha's last murder attempt on them. The episode closes with the tag, 'Malli Kaluddam (We'll meet again)', thereby leaving fans curious about the possible sequel.
  
• Sources close to the show reveal to us that the makers are working on a possible sequel and they are contemplating various ideas and are even exploring the possibilities of a new spin off with some new characters as well. However, Karthik, Deepa and Monitha are inseparable and a new storyline with a generation leap hasn't reportedly worked in favour of the show.
  
• Karthika Deepam, which ruled the TRP charts soon after its launch in 2017, witnessed a dip in its viewership for a few weeks in 2022 after the makers opted for a generation leap. However, they soon reverted to the old storyline bringing back its popular characters, only to conclude in a few months.

  The most watched Telugu daily soap concluded on Monday (January 24) with a cryptic climax and close sources reveal that the makers have started working on Karthika Deepam part 2 as well. After Karthika Deepam ends with a cryptic climax, makers working on a sequel
  
• Popular Telugu daily soap Karthika Deepam, which ruled the TRP charts ever since its launch except for a few weeks, has gone off-air with its last episode on Monday (January 23).
  
• The show, however, had a cryptic ending with Karthik and Deepa walking into oblivion. Deepa seems to be fighting for her life after she accidentally kills Monitha and luckily survives a bomb blast as planned by Monitha. Karthik, who wants to save Deepa by all means, takes her away and a title 'Malli Kaluddam (We shall meet again)' is displayed towards the end.
  
• This has sparked a mixed response and many speculations over the show's sequel as well. Sources close to the show reveal to us that the makers are working on a possible sequel and they are contemplating various ideas and are even exploring the possibilities of a new spin off with some new characters as well. However, Karthik, Deepa and Monitha are inseparable and a new storyline with a generation leap hasn't reportedly worked in favour of the show. Karthika Deepam witnessed a dip in its viewership after the generation leap. It remains to be seen if the makers would still opt for new characters and cast for the sequel.
  
• Sharing his take on the makers' decision to end the show, lead actor Nirupam Paritala aka Karthik said, "I feel this is a wise decision instead of extending it unnecessarily which might affect the TRPs as well. We are ending on a high! As you can see, the story organically came to a conclusion with no new potential prospects. We've already tried experimenting with a generation leap, ending Monitha's character, bringing new characters like Waltair Veena, Charusheela etc. So, I guess the makers have taken the right decision to not meddle with the show further."
  
• Meanwhile, a new show titled 'Brahmamudi' featuring Maanas Nagulapalli, Hameeda Khatoon and others will replace Karthika Deepam in its slot from tonight.
  
• Actor Nirupam Paritala's name is etched in the hearts of fans as Karthik aka Doctor Babu; due credits to the popular show Karthika Deepam that has ruled the TRP charts ever since its launch in 2017. The show that enjoyed a cult following so much that even its rerun topped the TRP charts during the pandemic-induced lockdown phase, is finally going to end tonight (January 23, 2023). On this note, ETimes TV got Nirupam talking about the show, its conclusion, his journey so far and much more.
  
• Talking about on the news of the show's conclusion, Nirupam said, "Yes, the show is ending and we are not going to return now (laughs). Well, this was a decision taken very recently and we got to know only towards the end of December I guess. It was a mixed feeling actually, you know, because we stepped away for a while after our characters were ended with an accident and then we had to soon comeback amid all the anticipation and hype and then one day you get to know about the show ending."
  
• Sharing his take on the makers' decision to end the show, the lead actor said, "I feel this is a wise decision instead of extending it unnecessarily which might affect the TRPs as well. We are ending on a high! As you can see, the story has orginally come to a conclusion with no new potential prospects. We've already tried experiementing with a generation leap, ending Monitha's character, bringing new characters like Waltair Veena, Charusheela etc. So, I guess the makers have taken the right decision to not meddle with the show further."
  
• Nirupam continues to get calls and feedback from unexpected quarters. Look who called him up after learning about the show's ending. "Even celebrities like Muralimohan garu (senior actor-producer) asking me about the climax and Paruchuri Gopalakrishna garu (renowned playwright) called up asking when can he see me next. We were fortunate to have many from the film fraternity encourage us throughout this journey," says Nirupam.
  
• Ask Nirupam, who is a writer himself, about the kind of climax in his head, he quickly laughed and said, "Well, I would have ended the show back when our characters met with an accident and proceeded with the generation leap instead. Anyways it's just a personal opinion. The makers are the better ones to decide and back then their strategy was different."
  
• Elaborating on his attachment and journey with his character, the coveted actor said, "We get to see family dramas on TV often and everyone can connect to the female protagonist who has a lot of problems quite easily. But audience might not like or accept a man crying or getting emotional. So, it was a challenge for me as an actor to convince the viewer with Karthik's problems, his emotional breakdowns and why he is doing so. I was a tad worried initially if my character would earn negativity. But it was a blessing that the audiences always sympathised and empathised with Karthik and took him to heart."
  
• Even an actor and TV producer like Nirupam found something about the show interesting. "I was always amazed at the way the makers have handled a small yet sensitive and deep concept like this throughout this journey of 1500 plus episodes. Basically, the show will end if Karthik comes to know about Deepa's truth and understand Monitha's cruelty but running the show on sensibly keeping the theme, drama and suspense intact was something exceptional. Especially, sequences like the family taking Deepa's side and criticising my character and also Sourya calling my character 'Nanna' for the first time et al got an unexpectedly overwhelming response," reveals Nirupam.
  
• When quizzed about his next move, Nirupam said, "I want to continue doing TV but to quench my creative thirst, I'm also looking forward to trying something new on OTT space as well. I'm hearing to a few scripts and will sure let you all know what I'm up to next." Here are Nirupam aka Doctor Babu's last lines about the show. "Well, I must say Karthika Deepam has become an addiction to many. I've been receiving messages from many expressing how unhappy with the show's ending. But I feel something good or better will fill its space. I hope it can be the new show Brahmamudi also. Because, shows like Mogalirekulu, Chakravakam used to have a cult following and then Karthika Deepam happened. There can be something else tomorrow, we never know. Nothing is permanent I believe. All I can say is Karthika Deepam created history and aa deepam ippudu andari manasullo velugutu untundi (and the diya called Karthika Deepam will stay in the hearts of Telugu audiences forever)."
•  
• Karthik and family to have an emotional reunion, Karthika Deepam is inching close to its climax and Karthik and his family will have an emotional reunion. In the upcoming episodes, Deepa will finally meet Soundarya. She will try to explain to Soundarya about their misery and keep their existence a secret from Hima and Sourya. While Soundarya gives Deepa a word, the latter will also take her to meet Karthik. On the other hand, Karthik will accidentally save his daughters from a thief. He will also have an emotional reunion with his daughters.
  
• On the other hand, Monitha senses competition for Karthik from none other than Charusheela. It remains to be seen how Monitha will handle this. Meanwhile, latest reports confirm that Karthika Deepam will end soon. Sources close to the show reveal that Karthika Deepam will air its last episode on January 21 (Saturday). The team will shoot for the climax sequence very soon.
  
• The show is expected to have a positive and happy ending. However, further details about the much-anticipated climax are awaited at the moment. As per the latest reports, a new daily soap titled 'Brahmamudi' featuring famed actor Maanas Nagulapalli of BB Telugu 5 fame will replace Karthika Deepam in its slot.
  
• Karthika Deepam, which was launched in 2017, featuring Nirupam, Premi Viswanath, Shobha Shetty, Archana Ananth and others has completed 1500 episodes in November, 2022. Karthika Deepam has been the leader on the TRP charts until the makers have opted for a generation leap introducing some new characters. Maanas Nagulapalli, Keerthi Keshav Bhat, Manoj, and Amulya Gowda have been roped in for the lead characters in the new storyline. But the show has witnessed a dip in viewership for a brief period and the makers were forced to bring back Karthik (Nirupam), Deepa (Premi Viswanath), and Monitha (Shobha Shetty) into the show. The show soon redeemed its apex spot on the TRP chart and tried to sustain the same with its share of highs and lows.

  Actress Shobha Shetty, who played the role of Monitha, the lead antagonist in the most watched Telugu daily soap Karthika Deepam, has been away from the show for a while now. While the actress has revealed in one of her recent vlogs that she had to quit the show, a few pictures on Instagram are dropping enough hints that she is back into the show. In these pictures that surfaced online, Shobha can be seen as Monitha and interestingly, her right hand with a dressing. A week-old pictures of her dolled up in a yellow outfit also fuel speculations of her comeback into the show. It remains to be seen what twist the old villain is about to bring.

  Karthik to give a new twist; rejects Sourya, While Karthik and Deepa have just reunited with their family, yet another tragedy has struck them. In the upcoming episodes, Karthik will learn about Deepa's critical condition. He will get to examine Deepa's reports after she falls unconscious and realises that she needs a heart transplant right away. This will leave him devastated. On the other hand, Karthik will give the story a new twist upon finding Indrudu. He will reject Indrudu's offer to hand over Sourya to them.
  
• Karthik and Deepa have been searching for Sourya for a long while now. Now, when he finally finds Indrudu, he will not be ready to take Sourya. The reason behind Karthik's decision remains to be seen. To the unaware, Sourya has been searching for her parents (Deepa and Karthik) with the help of Indrudu and Chandramma. For a while, the couple wanted to keep Sourya for themselves out of greed and kept escaping from Karthik, Deepa and Soundarya. Now, Indrudu has changed his mind and wanted to give Sourya back. Deepa, on the other hand, has been suffering from one or the other illness ever since she got separated from Karthik due to Monitha. Monitha has ruined Deepa's health during pregnancy and now the latter is suffering from a cardiac problem.
  
• Meanwhile, Karthika Deepam has yet again retained its top position on the TRP charts. However, the show has witnessed a marginal dip in the TVRs in comparison with the previous week.
  
• Karthika Deepam recently made a successful comeback on the TRP charts after bringing back its popular characters Deepa (Premi Viswanath), Karthik (Nirupam), Monitha (Shobha Shetty), Archana Ananth (Soundarya) and others and has been sustaining its TVRs ever since. The show has introduced some new characters Waltair Vaani and Charusheela as well.
• Hima and Jwala will get to learn the bitter truth about Anand. Both Hima and Sourya will be shocked to learn that Hima is Monitha's son.
  
• New Story/Biggest Leap: The show is currently dealing with Soundarya's attempt to find Sourya while the latter is trying to find Hima. Popular Telugu actress Sushma Kiran is playing the role of Swapna, the elder daughter of Soundarya and Anand Rao. Archana Ananth and Arun Kumar are continuing as Soundarya and Anand Rao respectively in the new storyline as well. Manoj Kumar was roped in to play Prem and Maanas Nagulapalli of BB Telugu 5 fame to play Nirupam. While Amulya Gowda is the new Sourya, Keerthana Keshav Bhat is essaying the role of grown up Hima. 

Karthik will be tested in every possible way in Karthika Deepam. Animosity with Rudraani on one hand coupled with poverty on the other, Karthik is facing a tough time.

As per the latest reports, Karthik will warn Rudraani to stay away from his daughters. However, it has only worsened his state in the future. The upcoming episodes will have Karthik having a breakdown in public and Deepa will come to his rescue.

Deepa will emotionally lash out at Karthik for signing up an unfair contract that lets Rudraani snatch Hima away. This will instigate Karthik into warning Rudraani.

For the unversed, Rudraani wants to take revenge on Karthik and Deepa. She will take advantage of Karthik and Deepa's support to Koteshu and Srivalli. She got them killed after the couple files a police complaint against her. Karthik will take care of Koteshu's adopted son. Koteshu has snatched Monitha's son from her car but lied to Karthik and Deepa that he has adopted him. On the other hand, Monitha has moved to Sriram nagar basti amidst stiff protest from the residents of the area. Meanwhile, the beggar, who has seen Karthik and family boarding a bus, is seriously looking for him in the village. He was appointed by Soundarya. 

Deepa will get the shock of her life in Karthika Deepam. Soundarya forces Karthik to participate in the special ritual along with Monitha.

As per the latest reports, Deepa will find Monitha and Nirupam at the temple performing a special ritual. Much to her dismay, Soundarya will be seen presiding over the ritual. This will leave Deepa shattered. Deepa is already on the verge of concluding that Karthik and Soundarya are keeping a grave secret from her. She is afraid that Soundarya and Karthik are doing injustice to her. Karthik is already reluctant to participate in the ritual as it means he has accepted Monitha as his wife and her child as his baby. Even Anand Rao is against Soundarya's decision to drag Monitha to the ritual just to save Karthik.

In the recent episode, Soundarya meets Monitha and instructs her to participate in the ritual. Monitha refuses to attend just to annoy Soundarya. But later, Monitha tells Bharti that she will attend the ritual. Meanwhile, Deepa discovers more evidence against Karthik and Soundarya. She wants to take a stern decision very soon.

For the unversed, Monitha has delivered a baby boy recently and she is determined to make Karthik and Soundarya accept her baby. Soundarya makes Karthik sign upon Monitha's delivery documents in order to save Monitha and her baby.

Vihari and Tulasi to make an unexpected entry: While Soundarya has decided that Karthik should leave for the US along with his family, they will experience yet another shock, Vihari and Tulasi will leave Karthik and family shocked with their unexpected entry. They will enter at a crucial juncture when Aditya tries to convince Hima that Karthik is innocent. Hima will pose some important questions to Vihari after accessing Karthik's diary. Vihari and Tulasi's answers to Hima remain to be seen. In the recent episode, Soundarya meets Monitha in the prison and threatens her. Soundarya informs Monitha that she is going to send Karthik and family to the US. This leaves Monitha worried. She plans to stop Karthik from leaving. On the other hand, Soundarya decides to convince Karthik. For the unversed, Deepa and Vihari shared a common interest in poetry. Deepa liked Vihari's poetry. Monitha, out of envy, created a rift between Karthik and Deepa by manipulating him into believing that she (Deepa) has an illicit affair with Vihari. Monitha even makes Karthik believe that he is impotent through fabricated certificates. Karthik, who learnt the truth after nearly a decade, realises Monitha's dark side. When Monitha confesses her crimes and serves punishment, Karthik's daughters Hima and Sourya begin to learn the dark past of Karthik, Deepa and Monitha.

Swapna is on revenge mode now. She will lash out at her mother Soundarya when the latter pays her a visit in the upcoming episode. As per the latest reports, Swapna will humiliate Soundarya recalling how the latter mistreated her daughter in the past. She will question Soundarya's bias towards Karthik mentioning about his current misery. She will also ask how come she is taking care of Hima who has a dusky skin tone while she humiliated her daughter for the same skin tone. It remains to be seen how Soundarya will retaliate to Swapna's personal attack. In the recent episode, Sourya and Hima discover the newspaper story of Monitha and start avoiding Karthik. While Karthik is shattered by his daughters' hatred for him, Deepa gets suspicious of the same and determines to resolve this. Meanwhile, Swapna's sons Prem and Nirupam visit Karthik and his family. Soundarya and Anand Rao decide to visit Swapna after a long while. On the other hand, Monitha, who is in the prison, plans to give yet another shocker to Karthik.

Two boys who will address Anand Rao and Soundarya as 'grandpa' and 'grandma' will join the Satyanarayana Vratham ceremony performed by Karthik and Deepa. It remains to be seen how these new characters will change the course of the story.

In the recent episode, Hima and Sourya finally open up to Karthik, Deepa, and Sourya. Deepa convinces Sourya and Hima that Karthik was not at fault in Monitha's missing case and they must not believe in rumours and hate him for any reason.
For the unversed, Monitha, who has confessed all her crimes, is now in prison. But she vowed to be back soon with Karthik's child.
