BARC Ratings Week 11: Naagin Stands Unthreatened At No 1 And So Does Star Plus
It is week 11 of 2017 and Naagin 2 continues to dominate TRP ratings. But I do not want to talk about that. Let’s discuss Star Plus’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai which has seen a rise in ratings as the show saw a new generation couple grow close and subsequently get married to each other in the storyline. I suppose people have loved the couple a lot which explains the rise in ratings. It’s good that the show is doing well despite the exit of senior members. I used to watch the show when it first started and I remember it took almost a year for Akshara to get married and go to her husband’s house. I loved their ‘O Kanha’ song that Akshara once sang in the show. In fact, I still listen to that song. In case you are wondering which song I am talking about then check it out on YouTube.
