Top 10 shows of 2008

1) Bidaai (Star Plus) - In our top 10, Star Plus's Bidaai is on the No. 1 position. For the whole year this serial has entertained all of us a lot especially after the entry of Rajvansh family which put a new life in the serial as the serial got its two heroes- Aalekh and Ranbeer. Soon we got connected to the love stories of the main leads.
2) Balika Vadhu (Colors) – This serial proved to be a real miracle. It was rejected by many main channels. Finally Colors agreed to telecast it and unexpectedly this serial reached to the top levels. Now all the other channels, who have rejected this serial must be regretting.
3) Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil (Star Plus) – This serial started as a replacement to Ekta's long lasting love story- Kasauti Zindagi Ki. The serial was welcomed by the viewers as it was far better than Anuraag and Prerna's love story (Kasauti..)
4) Raja Ki Aayegi Barat (Star Plus) – Initially the serial didn't get very good response as the storyline was not appearing very strong; more over it was having a direct competition with Zee TV's Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. But soon people started connecting to the love story of Rani and Kunwar Yudhishthir and this serial left Banoo Main Teri Dulhann far behind in TRP's.
5) Jai Sree Krishana (Colors) – The bal leela of Lord Krishana in this serial was liked by all. Every one loved the Bal Gopal of this serial.
6) Banoo Main Teri Dulhann (Zee TV) – with the protagonist's death and their reincarnation, the serial attracted the viewers in the first half of the year but soon it lost its charm. So it's on the 6th position in our ranking based on the whole year's performance.
7) Mayka (Zee TV)/ Hamari Devrani (Star Plus) - With one of the male protagonist's death and the torture of the vamps on the poor heroines, Zee TV's Mayka got successful in gaining the attention of a couple of viewers.
Another serial Hamari Devrani of Star Plus, which started in the afternoon slot, also impressed the viewers. The torture of all the five Jethanis on the poor heroine and her husband really glued the house wives to the show.
8) Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Star Plus) - This year Smriti Irani returned in the serial as Tulsi but still Ekta can't save this show from being pulled off. Finally this serial came to an end in 2008. But even when the show was pulled off it was having a good TRP due to some loyal viewers of the show.
9) Ghar Ki Lakshami Betiyan (Zee TV) – A few number of viewers also continued to watch this story of four betis, sorry five with the addition of the latest one.
10) Radha Ki Betiyan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi (NDTV Imagine) - From the start of the serial, it got good response from the viewers. As a result it was made a daily; earlier it was shown on every Mondays.
