MUMBAI : Even if there is a wealth of Indian television beyond programs like Anupamaa, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kumkum Bhagya and others, we still find ourselves griping about the dearth of excellent Indian television.

These series, which have excellent acting and compelling stories, haven't got the audience that they deserved and they are still waiting for you to happen upon them and give them a try. There are shows that were just too good to ignore for whatever reason, and they ended their run sooner than anticipated. Today we take you through the list of the top under rated shows of Indian television.
