A week after its launch, 'SaraswatiChandra' has hit the top spot and broken records by gaining the highest ever rating for the 19:30 slot since Star Plus UK signed up to audience measuring body, BARB.
'SaraswatiChandra', produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, stars Gautam Rode and Jennifer Winget, it pulled an incredible 289,400 viewers – peaking at 336,900 viewers – one of the biggest ever ratings for a Star Plus fiction. The ratings are expected to rise further as the two lead characters meet later this week.
In second place was 'Diya Aur Baati Hum', which garnered a very impressive 247,400 viewers at 21:00. The climax in 'Kaali Ek PunarAvtar' has also proved well for the channel with 209,800 viewers gripped to the last few episodes of the show.
The others in the pecking order were 'Pyar Ka Dard Hai' (189,100), 'Saathiya' (178,800), 'Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai' (168,400), 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' (136,400) and 'Veera' (127,900).
