Check out the report card of how the daily shows fared
The past few weeks were sort of similar on the BARC charts but this one has been a surprise. Zee TV’s Aapke Aa Jaane Se made its first entry in the top 20. Even shows like Tu Aashiqui and Piya Albela, which were missing from the top 20 chart made a comeback. Kundali Bhagya held on to its top rank as the No.1 fiction show in the country. Rising Star 2’s special tribute to Sridevi episode took it to the third spot. It is one of the best watched episodes so far. We had Kavita Krishnamurthy and Alka Yagnik as special guests on the show as they sang her songs and gave viewers interesting anecdotes from the life of the talented diva who left us too soon. Here is a detailed look…
