Jhansi Ki Rani gets rewarded

Contiloe Telefilms’ Jhansi ki rani annulled the popular myth that historical shows have always ended in disaster on Indian television. The show is garnering encouraging TRPs right from its launch and has strengthened the channel’s foothold. And now the buzz doing the rounds is that going by the rising popularity of the show, Zee TV has decided to air the show five times a week. The show that currently airs from Tuesday to Friday will be airing five days a week starting 5 October. Says our source, “The show has been doing well ever since its launch. It has made stars out of ordinary actors and is receiving rave reviews from every nook and corner. Jhansi is doing well and the channel has now decided to air it on Mondays also and we have already started creating a bank for the same.” Producer Abhimanyu Singh confirmed the news that the show will air from Monday to Friday from 5 October. We sent a text message to Zee TV programming head Ajay Bhalwankar but he didn’t revert. Currently Chhoti Bahu airs on Mondays from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
