Overall, there is stiff competition seen at the prime time slots across channels. While Anupamaa and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi compete for the top two slots, Vasudha emerges as the No 1 show on Zee TV for the first time. Tumm Se Tumm Tak sees new competition at the 8.30 PM slot with Star Plus’ Mr & Mrs Parshuram, and this shows in the drop in numbers of Sony SAB’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah too. The 9.30 PM slot is challenged by shows Vasudha (Zee TV), Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (Star Plus) and Mahadev & Sons (Colors TV). The slot of 8 PM sees competition coming from shows Dr Aarambhi (Colors TV) and Lakshmi Niwas (Zee TV), and this has affected the performance of Aarti Anjali Awasthi (Star Plus). Mangal Lakshmi and Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar (Colors TV) are deeply affected by the surge in ratings of shows across GECs at their slot. Reality shows Wheel of Fortune and The 50 fair averagely. Star Plus shows Tod Ka Dil Mera, Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi, Shehzaadi Hai Tu Dil Ki remain under threat. Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile seems to be going off the steam.
