Balika Vadhu is no longer TV's No 1 show

When cricket makes its way to television, soaps automatically seem to get sidelined. The Indian Premiere League, telecast on Set Max, has dominated the channels through the weeks, edging out the most popular show so far, Colors' Balika Vadhu, according to the recent TRP ratings in the Tam Peoplemeter System (in the week April 26 to May 2).

Once the most watched show on TV, Balika Vadhu has bowed down to the Rajesthan Royals, the Mumbai Indians, the Delhi Daredevils, the Deccan Chargers and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL matches.

While IPL tops the TRPs ratings, we take a look at the other top shows on television.

Yes, we're that cricket-cazy! At sixth place, is Bidaai, a story of two sisters Ragini and Sadhana -- one dark complexioned and the other fair. The show has a lot of drama, and offers many twists. Before the IPL started, Bidaai was the number one soap on television. The TRPs fell when cricket took over. http://movies.rediff.com/slide-show/2009/may/11/slide-show-2-balika-vadhu-is-no-longer-tv-no-one-show.htm
