The event, held in Mumbai, saw the actress in her element – dancing energetically, interacting with fans, and delivering her signature dialogue from the hit serial with infectious zeal. Her poised, elegant look added to the glamour, making her a standout.

Rupali treated fans to an inside scoop via Instagram, featuring moments like her gracious namaste to Big B and a fun cricket bat twirl with Sachin, evoking images of a pupil learning from the god of cricket. Her excitement radiated through every clip.

Reflecting on the night, she wrote, ‘Hosting ISPL was among my life’s cherished evenings – filled with joy, banter, and magical stage moments. Grateful for this love, respect, and energy. Thank you, Aditya Bhatt and Sagar Thakur.’ Such experiences underscore why she cherishes her profession.

Amidst ‘Anupamaa”s latest generational leap, Rupali holds fort as the lead, proving her enduring appeal. Her journey from ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’s quirky roles to mainstream stardom highlights her range.

This appearance not only boosted ISPL’s allure but also reminded fans of Rupali’s magnetic off-screen persona, blending humility with high-energy charisma in the world of entertainment.

Roy, who embodies Rahi Kapadia, shared her thoughts on this pivotal track. ‘I’m honored to be part of a show that tackles such vital, rarely spoken-about matters,’ she stated. Television, she believes, holds the power to initiate meaningful discussions on real-world problems. ‘Anupamaa excels at portraying genuine social issues. Domestic violence is grave, predominantly highlighted through women’s lenses, but men endure it too—silently, due to societal pressures and stigma.’

What sets the show apart, according to Roy, is its commitment to purpose-driven content. The creators weave in tracks that mirror real-life challenges, offering hope and validation to viewers in similar situations. ‘These stories give strength to those suffering quietly,’ she explained. ‘Watching relatable struggles on screen breaks the isolation, inspiring people to voice their pain or reach out for support.’

Roy underscored the ethical duty of actors and producers to leverage their influence responsibly. ‘Our goal is to effect change, however small, and affirm that voices matter,’ she said. By consistently highlighting prevalent yet hushed issues, Anupamaa reinforces its role as more than entertainment—it’s a catalyst for awareness and empathy in society.

Rupali posted radiant images from the ceremony, showing the trio on stage. Rajni’s dynamic dance to ‘Sharaarat’ with Vijay became the viral highlight, echoing her previous online sensation status where netizens crowned her the ultimate performer. Despite the award going to the siblings, Rajni’s charisma has everyone talking.

Overflowing with emotion, Rupali captioned the post: ‘Deepest gratitude to Iconic Gold Awards for these iconic moments, a birthday gift for Anupamaa. My treasures Vijay and Rajni Ganguly, my spine. Shoutout to Ashwin Verma for courage, and Rajan Shahi’s team for birthing ‘Anupamaa’—it transformed my world.’

Launched in 2020, ‘Anupamaa’ has reigned supreme in ratings, fearlessly addressing societal taboos. Fans adored Anupamaa and Anuj’s romance, but recent plots shift to generational family tangles, keeping viewers hooked on its realistic storytelling.

‘Anupamaa’ continues to hold the top spot. The high-voltage drama of ‘Anupamaa’ versus the challenges she faces has captivated viewers, resulting in a significant rise in the show’s ratings. However, the real surprise came when the show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, which returned after many years, jumped straight to second place.

Amidst the ongoing drama in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’, ‘Kyunki’ achieving second place is nothing short of a miracle. The return of ‘Tulsi’, who gained recognition in every household with her story years ago, has been so loved by the audience that it has surpassed major TV shows, creating a new history in the TRP race.

In this race of TRP, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ maintains a strong hold at number three. The continuous twists in the show’s story have kept the audience’s trust. Meanwhile, a big win has been recorded for Zee TV this week, as their show ‘Tum Se Tum Tak’ has secured its place at number four. In this top 5 list, ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has maintained its stability, but this show has dropped from number 2 to 5.

Some new and old shows have also secured their place in this week’s list. ‘Udne Ki Aasha’ has come in at number six, while ‘Mangal Lakshmi’ has occupied the seventh position. Another surprising name is ‘Lakshmi Ka Safar’, which has made a comeback in the top 10 and is at number eight. The reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’ has also seen a tremendous jump in ratings. The chaos and drama in the house have increased the audience’s interest, bringing the show to ninth place. ‘Vasudha’ has also made a strong claim by securing a place in the top 10.

This week’s list of the top 20 serials has proven that the competition in the world of TV is very tough. In the channel race, Sony Sab has maintained its number one position, followed by Star Plus and Colors. New experiments are continuously happening on all these channels so that something new and entertaining can be served to the audience. The audience wants entertainment.

This week’s TRP has made it clear that the audience is liking all kinds of content, provided it is entertaining. Now it remains to be seen which show wins the game in next week’s list and which one loses its place.

The producer mentioned that people in the industry told him that this actor was unlucky and none of his shows did well. Despite these comments, Rajan did not stop himself from casting Gaurav and giving him a memorable role. In an interview, Rajan Shahi shared that he was looking for an actor for Anuj’s serious but loving character. When he found Gaurav Khanna’s profile, he immediately contacted him, and fans saw him ruling the screen.

“Many people, including some famous personalities, told me that Gaurav’s shows didn’t work, that he was unlucky. I feel bad when someone says that. I have heard these things about myself from the beginning, so I get very angry,” Rajan Shahi said. He added, “Everything has its own rhythm and destiny; a person cannot be responsible for determining it.”

The owner of Director’s Cut stated that Gaurav was not asked to audition for the character. He was only called for a look test, and then he was chosen to play the character. Rajan Shahi further said, “Anuj’s character had a lot of confidence. Until Gaurav came, Rupali had taken Anupama to new heights, but Gaurav had the hunger to prove himself. He hadn’t done a serial for 6-7 years, so he gave his best in the show.”

Gaurav received a lot of love from the audience for the character of Anuj Kapadia. The love story of Anupama and Anuj gave the show a new high. But after working for 3 years, Gaurav decided to leave the show in 2024. After this, Gaurav was seen in Celebrity MasterChef, and now he is appearing in Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 19. In the show, Gaurav is seen trying his best.

‘Anupamaa’ – The TV show ‘Anupamaa’ has solidified its place in the hearts of viewers, making it difficult for any other show to surpass it. Even if ‘Anupamaa’ occasionally slips in the TRP race, it consistently remains in the top 3. This week, ‘Anupamaa’ holds the number 1 position, with a TRP rating of 2.3.

‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ – The long-running show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ has seen numerous leaps and cast changes. However, the number of viewers has not diminished. The show’s TRP increases with every new twist. This time, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 2.0’ is at number 2 with a rating of 2.0.

‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’ – Ekta Kapoor’s show, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2,’ which secured the number 1 position in TRP in its first week, has dropped to third place this week. The show has not regained the number 1 spot since its debut week. It received a TRP of 1.9 this week.

‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ – The show ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,’ which has entertained audiences for years, has moved out of the top 3 this week, ranking at number 4. There is no shortage of viewers for this show. Despite several stars leaving, the comedy show continues to run successfully. It received a rating of 1.9 this week.

‘Tum Se Tum Tak’ – The serial ‘Tum Se Tum Tak’ is also being liked by the audience. The show has carved a special place among viewers in a short time. This week, the show is in the top 5. ‘Tum Se Tum Tak’ has received a TRP rating of 1.8.

Reports estimate Gaurav Khanna’s net worth to be around Rs 15 crore, positioning him as one of the wealthiest actors in the Indian television industry. He reportedly resides in a luxurious Mumbai apartment with his wife.

His primary income source is his successful television shows. He gained renewed fame for his role as Anuj Kapadia in ‘Anupamaa,’ where he reportedly earned between Rs 1 and 2.5 lakh per episode due to his character’s popularity.

Following his stint on ‘Anupamaa,’ he explored reality show opportunities, participating in ‘Celebrity MasterChef.’ He reportedly earned Rs 2.5 lakh per week, in addition to a Rs 20 lakh cash prize for winning the show. Khanna is also reported to own a red Audi A6, a Royal Enfield Classic 350, and an SUV.

Khanna is reportedly receiving a substantial fee for his participation in ‘Bigg Boss 19’.

This decline in the TRP of Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ could be a major setback for the makers, especially since the nation’s favorite daughter-in-law ‘Tulsi’ Smriti Irani made a comeback on the small screen after 17 years.

‘Anupamaa’s’ dominance continues. Rupali Ganguly’s show ‘Anupamaa’ continues to win the hearts of viewers. Due to the twists and strong characters in the show, it has once again secured its place at the top with a TRP rating of 2.3. Right behind, with a TRP of 2.1, are two shows – Rajan Shahi’s other show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and Asit Kumar Modi’s comedy serial ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’.

‘Taarak Mehta’s’ success is also considered significant because the show has maintained its position in the top-5 despite controversial statements by several former artists and the absence of ‘Dayaben’.

‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’s’ ratings slip. There was tremendous excitement surrounding the return of Ekta Kapoor’s show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ 25 years ago. The new season of the show started with a bang, achieving a TRP of 2.5, but this enthusiasm seems to be waning. This week, its TRP has dropped to just 1.8, placing the show in fourth place from its top position. Several reasons are being attributed to this decline; social media claims suggest that a body double is being used in place of Smriti Irani in many scenes of the show. However, neither the makers nor Smriti Irani have issued any official statement on this.

According to TRP reports, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2’ secured the top spot with an impressive TVR rating of 2.3. The show’s instant ascent to number one is a record in itself, especially considering it has displaced Rupali Ganguly’s ‘Anupamaa,’ which had long held the number one position. Surprisingly, ‘Anupamaa’ also scored a 2.3 rating, but the new show’s opening rating has pushed it to second place.

This reshuffling has significantly impacted the show ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,’ which has entertained audiences for decades. With a rating of 1.9, the show is now in fifth place, a dip from its previous performance. The decline in ratings began as the storyline involving ‘Bhootni’ concluded, and the return of ‘Tulsi Virani’ has further intensified the challenges for this show.

One source with two decades of experience on TV serial sets, when asked about the potential impact of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ on shows like ‘Anupamaa’ and ‘Taarak Mehta…’, mentioned that the TRP performance of the second week is more critical than the opening week’s numbers. Achieving high TRP during the opening week is not unusual due to extensive show promotion and audience curiosity. The real test is whether this enthusiasm sustains into the following week. If it does, then shows like Anupamaa and Taarak Mehta might need to adjust their storylines.

Smriti Irani expressed her delight over the success of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.’ The show has broken several records. No show had ever returned after 25 years in the history of Indian television, which is a feat in itself. The show has also been very popular on OTT platforms. “It was a big surprise for me that people watch the show on OTT as well,” she shared. She expressed her gratitude for the immense love and support.
