Star Plus’s Saath Nibhana Saathiya so far was undoubtedly the baap of all the Saas- Bahu sagas. It had been topping the TRP charts ever since its start and had millions of admirers across the globe.
The coy character of Gopi Vahu (Giaa Manek) became the household name, and it was speculated that no show could ever manage to bring Saathiya down. However, as they say everyone has a successor and Saathiya is no exception. Today, Saathiya’s position is ruled by another of Star’s show, Diya Aur Baati Hum.
Though Saathiya has been trying hard to get back its lost place but the ongoing IPL 5 has made it all the more difficult for it. Producer Rashmi Sharma agrees to this and says, “It’s because of the ongoing IPL season. We were mentally prepared for the low numbers during this period,”
On being quizzed as to why other shows have got comparatively better numbers, Rashmi said, “See the time slot at which that our show is aired is a very crucial one. If you closely observe the IPL matches you will come to know it reaches the end over’s during 7 -7.30 pm which interests the viewers. So I really can’t blame the story or our show”.
Further when asked if Giaa’s involvement in the hookah parlor controversy has led to some negative publicity for the show, Rashmi retorted, “I don’t think so. Media exaggerated the entire incident and Giaa also behaved a little aggressively. But I think the real reason is IPL. We are working on the story and I am confident that the show will bounce back.”
Well, we hope Gopi bahu’s magic will soon manage to cast a spell all over again on the masses.
