Zindagi Gulzar hai rules the airwaves in Europe
Or rather beat the Indian TV shows this Sunday.
We love to beat our neighbor don't we just to show how cool we are (especially if we have very few things to be coy about). Pakistan recently beat India 2-1 in a hockey Match at the Asian Games and Zindagi Gulzar Hai beat all the Indian Shows in prime time in Europe this Sunday, according to BizAsia. And we are over the moon.
Zindagi Gulzar Hai garnered around 88,900 viewers on Hum TV Europe between 9pm to 10pm and the second show that gathered most viewers that day was again Hum TV's Ahista Ahista with 74,200 viewers. The closest Indian contender was Airlines from Star Plus with 48,000 viewers.
Earlier, we saw Pakistani shows, especially Sultana Siddiqui's ZGH, do well in the Indian market. The Indian audience started comparing Pakistani shows with Indian counterparts and found the former lacking in content and realistic appeal.
Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed's Zindagi Gulzar Hai is certainly quite popular in the Asian community; be it the expats or the residents. The Tumblr is flooded with Fawad and Sanam's Gifs as the Indian viewers (judging from the names) have made it a point to make a GIF out of every single shot of the duo. As a Pakistani viewer that's pretty heartening and we hope that Pakistani dramas continue to do well on Zee Zindagi - an Indian channel dedicated to Pakistani content - and the rivalry continues happily.
