Anupamaa Soars to the Top; TMKOC Makes a Strong Comeback

Leading the charge is Anupamaa, which has surged back to the number one position, reaffirming its unshakable hold over the audience with its emotional storytelling and impactful performances.

Ratings Slump for Shiv Shakti and Parineetii; Laughter Chef Impresses

On the flip side, Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav and Parineetii have both witnessed a noticeable drop in viewership, indicating a potential disconnect with current storylines. In contrast, Laughter Chef has pleasantly surprised everyone with its steady rise, offering light-hearted relief and drawing in viewers seeking cheerful content.

Kumkum Bhagya and Bhagya Lakshmi Hit a Low Note

It’s been a challenging week for long-running favourites Kumkum Bhagya and Bhagya Lakshmi, both of which have recorded a considerable dip in ratings. Once considered TRP staples, these shows may now need a narrative shake-up to regain audience interest.

Top Performers of the Week

The top five shows dominating the charts this week are led by Anupamaa, followed by Udne Ki Aasha, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Jaadu Teri Nazar, and Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Safar. Each of these continues to engage viewers with compelling drama and strong performances.
