Betiyaan completes 500 episodes..

The unit of Zee's Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan is in a celebration mood as it has successfully completed its three year run recently and is still going strong. The show has been fetching the channel good TRP's and this gives them a double bonus.

"We are happy that the show has completed its 500 episodes too. It's always a collective effort from producers, technicians, directors, actors and definitely the channel", says Dheeraj Kumar, Creative Head, Creative Eye.

Talking about setting the trend, the Producer adds, "Today's competitive scenario has given rise to shows on betiyaan(girls of the family). Laadli, Nanhi Pari, Agle Janam, Laado etc are the new shows trying to make a name for themselves. But it feels glad when we think that the actual trend of betiyaan was started by us. I am happy and saying this in a humble way that it really feels good that people are following it".

When asked about the future track, Dheeraj Kumar said, "Definitely there will be a new storyline and more characters getting introduced, but not so soon. Things will take place only post IPL", he quips.

Gunjan Walia aka Lakshmi is in for a double celebration. "With the show completing its three years and 500 episodes, I have also completed my one year as Lakshmi and it feels great. The show is going great and hope our fans love us in the same way".

Congratulations to the Betiyaan team!!
