Maayka rates high despite shift in production house
In the last couple of weeks, Zee's Maayka has been facing internal problems of various kinds. We keep hearing of Neha Bamb (Mahi) throwing attitude at her co-stars, but the most shocking news was of the production house being changed and some of the cast taking up for the ousted producer. Klassic Creations which produced close to 93 episodes was eased out and Creative Eye was brought in as the producer. However, the fallout hasn't affected the ratings of the daily soap a wee bit. It has not only maintained a consistent cumulative rating of 3.9 but is also "only a step below the most popular show on television Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi if you go on a day-to-day basis and section-wise ratings," says Zee's Senior VP, Ashish Kaul. The show according to him is very popular in the northern belt. Even the repeat episode of the entire Malhotra family being wiped out in a bomb blast did not dip the ratings. The reason they had to re-telecast the episode was the shift in production house and lack of enough time to create a new one. "The ratings are a reflection of the kind of programmes we are making. The new production house has understood the concept and further strengthening it," he quips

its going to be aired on july 16th.....😊
