The TV industry was buzzing this week with rumours that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 had finally overtaken the long-reigning queen of TRPs, Anupamaa. Several posts and headlines started making the rounds online, celebrating the supposed victory of the newly launched family drama over the beloved Star Plus show.
However, when the official BARC ratings came out, the truth left many viewers and fans surprised, Anupamaa still stands strong at the top spot. While Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has indeed performed impressively in its early weeks, it hasn’t yet crossed the numbers of Anupamaa.
According to the latest BARC data for week 31 (covering 27th July to 2nd August), Anupamaa secured an impressive rating of 2.5, maintaining its position as the highest-rated Hindi fiction show. Meanwhile, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, airing on Colors TV, registered a TRP of 2.3, close, but still not enough to dethrone the reigning leader.
The confusion began when certain media reports and social media pages misinterpreted early sampling data, claiming that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 had snatched the No. 1 spot. Fans of the new show, already riding high on nostalgia from the original iconic Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, began celebrating online. But with the official numbers now available, it’s clear that Anupamaa continues its dominance.
That’s not to say Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 hasn’t made an impact. The show’s mix of fresh storytelling and emotional family drama has been pulling in strong ratings for Colors, especially considering it’s still in its launch phase. Industry experts believe that if the current momentum continues, the show could soon give Anupamaa a real challenge.
For now, though, Anupamaa remains the undefeated leader, a position it has held for years. With upcoming high-voltage tracks in both shows, the TRP race is bound to get even more intense in the coming weeks.
One thing is certain: for Indian TV audiences, the battle between Anupamaa and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is far from over, and the next ratings reveal could bring yet another twist.
