Never Again: The Simpsons Kill Apu!

Apu is being written out.

The Simpsons will loose a character that has been a fixture on the program for years. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon or simply known as Apu of the Kwik E Mart is being dropped.

The character voiced by Hank Azaria is going to be "killed off."

21st Century Fox and The Simpsons team has confirmed that the 30th Season will be the last. It might be in the wake of the merger with the Walt Disney Company.

And of course the negative backlash the beloved character faced by actual Indian Americans who felt the show should have eliminated Apu a long time ago.

There was backlash from the Indian American and Asian American community over the stereotype of a white guy portraying an Indian character.

The Apu controversy came to ahead when Hari Kondabolu's documentary The Problem with Apu emerged last year.

In April, Shankar created a spec script competition centered on the "Apu Problem," hoping to get show producers to update the character with a more positive portrait.

Shankar claimed he received news on Apu from two staffers on The Simpsons and someone who works with creator Matt Groening.

Earlier, Fox Television executives said they would leave it up to the show on how to handle the Apu controversy going forward.
