KumKum Bhagya: This show which started on Zee TV from 2014 is still going great with the TRP ratings always topping the BARC charts. The concept of the show when started was of a girl who struggles in a forced marriage due to his younger sister but now the concept is totally new with a great chemistry between the lead couples. They have even awarded many times as favourite Jodi with fans naming them as “Abhigya”. The thing which has hooked the audience is the never ending separation between the loved couple Abhi and Pragya, created by Abhi’s sister and Ex-lover. Every time it looks there going to be a happily ever after but alas, the story line changes. Playing the lead roles of Abhigya are Shabbir Ahluwalia(Abhi) , Sriti Jha(Pragya)

Shakti Astitiva Ek Ehsaas Ki: This Colors serial within some months have created a storm in the TRPs.

The Kapil Sharma Show: The only Talk show which made to the top charts of BARC 2016. The famous and well known comedian Kapil Sharma made a news when he left Colors TV show “Comedy Nights” with his full team. Than started  a war between the shows, but like we said talent always prevails. Kapil Sharma's ardent followers plus the Indian audience all over the world put the show in the top.
