Zee TV has aired a lot of successful historical shows that have gripped viewers’ attention totally, and the two shows that will top the list are Jhandi Ki Rani that launched in 2009 and Jodha Akbar that launched in 2013.

Jhansi Ki Rani produced by Contiloe brought in child artist Ulka Gupta who showcased her talent as an actor for the first time with this show. She was hugely popular and the child version of the story got extended due to her popularity. Later Kratika Sengar took over as the grownup Jhansi and she was a treat to watch. The show was visually excellent and the storytelling and performances were on the mark. The show had a good run and viewers enjoyed this historical presentation.

Jodha Akbar produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms had the mighty Rajat Tokas and Paridhi Sharma as leads, playing the roles of Akbar and Jodhaa Bai. The show was heralded for its extensive research and visual appeal. Rajat and Paridhi had great onscreen chemistry and they were loved by one and all for their lead roles here.
