The highest-rated show on television right now is Kanwar Dhillon and Neha Harsora starrer-Udne Ki Aasha, as per BARC TRP report of week 16.
Udne Ki Aasha revolves around the story of Sailee and Sachin. The synopsis of the story reads, 'A dreamy-eyed Sayali yearns for her prince charming. But when destiny ties her with hero-cum-thug Sachin, will her hopes for a fairytale life prevail.'
The sparkling chemistry of the duo has garnered 1.9 million impressions in week 16.
Following closely is Rupali Ganguly's Anupamaa. Securing the second spot with 1.8 ratings, the show recently saw the addition of Raghav and Aryan in the current plot.
Next on the list is Samridhii Shukla and Rohit Purohit-starrer Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The longest-running Indian television soap opera fetched the third position this week with 1.7 ratings. The show has been running for over 15 years now.
The current storyline of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai follows the story of Armaan and Abhira.
Others in the list are Deepika Singh's Mangal Lakshmi- Lakshmi ka Safar with 1.7 ratings and Zayn Ibad Khan and Khushi Dubey's Jaadu Teri Nazar with 1.6 ratings this week.
Udne Ki Aasha premiered on 12 March 2024. It airs on Star Plus, Monday to Sunday at 9:30 pm. It is also streaming online on JioHotstar.
The show is set against a Marathi backdrop, exploring the journey of Sachin and Sailee, a middle-class couple navigating the ups and downs of their relationship.
It is the Hindi adaptation of Star Vijay's Tamil show, Siragadikka Aasai.
The show is produced by Rolling Tales Productions.
Reflecting on the success of the show, the producer Rahul Tewary told Times of India: 'I just wanted to tell a good story, which is a family entertainer. I didn't want to show the usual love story formula of falling in love, separating, and reuniting. I wanted it to be about family; a story of three brothers and three women from different social strata.'
"In Udne Ki Aasha, the eldest brother is a businessman, the second is a taxi driver, and the third is a chef. It represents the income disparity within a single family, which is very common in Indian households. Not every son becomes successful, yet they live together happily. In the show, the wives have their own opinion, but they believe in the joint family system and no one wants to break away despite the challenges. That's what's really connects with the audience."

Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor's ancestral homes to turn into museums
In Pakistan's Peshawar city, officials have stated that the restoration and repair of the ancestral homes of renowned Indian actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor has begun on Monday. According to Dr. Abdus Samad, Director of Archaeology, the project is expected to be finished in two years at a cost of ₹70 million. Capital released to restore the aesthetics of these historic homes Funds for the project, which includes restoring the historic homes' strength and aesthetic appeal, have been provided by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. The work, which aims to return the buildings to their original state, has been assigned to the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums. Both buildings will be transformed into museums honoring the lives and careers of the renowned actors by the provincial Archaeology Department. On July 13, 2014, Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan at the time, designated these homes as a national heritage site. The ancestral residences of Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor are situated in the ancient Qissa Khwani Bazaar in Peshawar, Pakistan. Constructed in the early 1900s, these iconic buildings recall the style of colonial architecture and have a strong connection to the early years of the renowned Bollywood actors. While India remembers Dilip Kumar as one of the best actors that India has ever seen, Kapoor is called the 'Showman'. Recently, Kapoor's 100th birth anniversary was also celebrated in the country where many of his iconic movies were re-released. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also spoken about this grand occasion and said, "Raj Kapoor's 100th birthday is an important milestone of India cinema's golden journey. It began with 1947's 'Neel Kamal' and we are on course to 2047. It is such a contribution to the country when we look back at this journey of 100 years," PM Modi said.

Divya, the girl who could become the queen
The little girl was dressed in a pink frock and a pinker overcoat. 'Divya Deshmukh,' she said when one asked her what her name was, on that November afternoon at the Nehru Stadium in Chennai. The year was 2013. She had just won the National Under-9 girls' chess championship, which was held as one of the side-events of the World championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen at Hyatt Regency. How time flies! Divya is now one of the most exciting young talents in international women's chess. The latest proof came on Monday, at Batumi in Georgia, where she became the first Indian woman to win the chess World Cup. In an all-Indian final, she defeated the much more experienced, higher-rated Koneru Humpy. After both the classical games had been drawn, the title had to be decided in tiebreaker games, played with shorter time controls. The first game was drawn in 81 moves. Divya had white pieces, and she ensured half-a-point through perpetual checks with her queen. The second game, in which Divya was black, was wilder, with both players making significant mistakes. On the 42nd move, an unwise pawn-push down the centre by Humpy had given the younger woman a clear advantage. But Divya returned the compliment just a move later, going for a pawn-exchange, instead of which she should have played her rook on the back rank. And now it looked the point in the second game too would be shared, in an equal rook-and-pawn ending. On the 54th move, however, Humpy went for a pawn-capture with her rook, and black got the advantage back But, Divya failed to capitalise yet again. Humpy's 69th move, with her pawn on the king-side, proved fatal, though. This time, Divya, made no mistake. When black's extra pawn reached the penultimate rank, threatening to turn into a queen, Humpy extended her hand, and conceded defeat. It was a significant moment for Indian chess. Here was the undisputed queen congratulating the princess who could one day become the queen. Divya's right hand went towards her face, and there would be tears of joy. She, however, forced a smile as FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich came up to her and congratulated her. A little later, all her pent-up tears came out, as did her mother's. Namrata had sacrificed her career as a gynaecologist for the sake of her daughter's career. It hasn't been easy for the family, with Divya not having a sponsor, and chess, contrary to popular notion, is an expensive sport, as you need to travel around the world and quality coaches do not come cheap. The prize-money from the World Cup should come in handy: she has become richer by $50,000. That isn't the only thing that should make her smile. By winning the World Cup, she became India's 88th Grandmaster, and only the fourth woman from the country to do so. She, along with Humpy, also qualified for the Candidates tournament. This was very much a World Cup to remember for India's women.
