Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi becomes highest-related Hindi daily soap
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, which premiered on July 29 on Star Plus and JioHotstar, made a remarkable debut with a 2.5 TVR, making it the highest-rated Hindi GEC fiction launch (drama series or daily soap broadcast on Hindi-language General Entertainment Channels in India) in the last five years, as per BARC data. The show even surpassed Rupali Ganguly’s Anupamaa, which had recently dipped and landed in the third spot with a 2.1 TVR. In a fragmented TV landscape where most fiction shows fail to cross the 2 TVR mark in their opening week, this can be safely touted as a landmark achievement.
Recently, during an interview with Filmibeat, when Smriti was asked about feeling pressurised about TRPs, the actress-politician said, “I think we have set the benchmark. So, there’s nobody else to compete with but us. But I also understand that when we began the show (25 years ago), there was no social media, there was no OTT, there was no fragmented audience, we had no PR, we had no hoarding, we had no Instagram to tell our viewers what is upcoming or who is in the cast. Nobody had any followers anywhere. So, to have our hands tied behind and still manage to give such an excellent product, for that time, was historical.”
“Today’s history has been created because there are no shows that can come back after 25 years and still be successful with the same cast, with the same production house, on the same network. So, I think we have managed to recreate history. For us today, we are free from the pressures of revenue or numbers because we have already proven our mark,” she added.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi airs Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM, only on Star Plus.
