What's in store for TV stars in 2006

By god's grace things have been going splendidly for me. My future is in Allah's hands. I'm going to continue to work hard and do my bit on television. Everyone can see the popularity of the medium is growing like a wild forest. It just doesn't seem to end, Inshaallah!

I see a continuing fragmentation of viewership. STAR Plus will continue to be on top in 2006. But Zee and STAR One will inch forward. For me innovation is the key word. As far as soaps go, my biggest challenge this year is "Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka" on STAR One. It takes me into an entirely new territory. My other new soap "Kasam Se" is a sweet warm story that I hope to use it to lure urban audiences into watching Zee. And "Kandy Floss" on Sony will be my first non-fictional show.I'll also be launching one of my biggest soaps ever at year-end. Plus, there're other things on the anvil. But these are the main challenges. As far as Indian television is concerned, the sky is no longer the limit.
