The television world is a competitive arena, and this week’s TRP list has brought some surprises. Rajan Shahi’s popular show, ‘Anupamaa,’ has once again taken the number one position, while ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,’ which was at the top last week, has slipped to fourth place.
This drop in ratings for Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ could be a major blow, especially since Smriti Irani, the nation’s beloved ‘Tulsi,’ made her comeback on the small screen after 17 years.
‘Anupamaa’ remains dominant. Rupali Ganguly’s show, ‘Anupamaa,’ continues to win over viewers. It has secured the top position with a TRP rating of 2.3, driven by the twists and strong characters. Following closely behind, with a TRP of 2.1, are two shows – Rajan Shahi’s ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and Asit Kumar Modi’s comedy series ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’.
The success of ‘Taarak Mehta’ is also noteworthy, given that it has maintained its place in the top-5 despite controversies surrounding former cast members and the absence of ‘Dayaben’.
‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ experiences a decline. The return of Ekta Kapoor’s show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ was highly anticipated 25 years ago. The new season started strong with a TRP of 2.5, but the excitement seems to be diminishing. The TRP this week has fallen to 1.8, placing the show in fourth position. Several factors are speculated to be causing this drop. Social media users suggest that a body double is being used in place of Smriti Irani in several scenes. However, neither the show’s producers nor Smriti Irani have released any official statements regarding this matter.
