Generation leap difference

Post-generation leap Pavitra Rishta may not be going great guns but the channel and show's main lead Hiten Tejwani feel it is doing better.
"The generation leap is working quite well and ratings have improved," says Zee's fiction head Sukesh Motwani.
While ratings have picked up from the earlier lows of 2.5 to 3.4 TVR, they are below its earlier high of 5.5 a year ago.
One reason for the show not attracting viewers in big numbers is stiff competition from Diya Aur Baati Hum which is consistently notching high numbers at an average of 5.6 TVR at 9 pm.
Hiten doesn't rule out competition from the Star Plus show but says Pavitra Rishta is doing fine considering it is a three-year old show. "Ratings come down when shows get older.
Some shows go down after a generation leap but we have managed to put a better show. And it is still Zee's number one daily," he defends.
