When pandemic happened in India which led to lockdown in March, TV and film shoots were stopped midway. A lot of top daily soaps had to telecast old episode for three months, while some decided to play popular 90s shows like Ramayan, Mahabharat and others. In June end, the shootings resumed, and the audience got to see fresh episodes from July. While makers were worried if the audience is ready to accept new episodes as three months is a long time, Kundali Bhagya emerged out as people’s favourite. For over a month, this Dheeraj Dhoopar and Shraddha Arya starrer is ranking at the top on the TRP charts.
What’s impressive is the show which is three years old has left behind several long-running shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai and others. These long-running shows have been the audience’s favourite, and hence, they have lasted so much and are still successful. It’s quite an outstanding achievement for the makers and star cast of KB to see their show not budging away from the number 1 spot.
Koimoi spoke to Dheeraj Dhoopar about his show topping the TRP charts and changes in shooting procedure amid the pandemic. The actor sounded quite elated while answering the question. He said, “Every day, I thank god for Kundali Bhagya. I feel blessed and delighted that people accepted us after lockdown as well. People were waiting for us to come back on screen. The show is number 1 on the TRP charts, it is doing well and so are all the characters. Especially my character Karan Luthra, he’s become so big. I get a lot of messages daily from around the world. People love him.”
