By Anil Merani| Ashi Singh fans must be worried that their favourite’s Zee TV show, Meet Duniya Ki Reet, is losing steam of late. This Shashi Sumeet Production began with around 1. 4 TVR, which was not very significant, but better than other new series on the same channel.The Zee TV flag is being held aloft only by the three Bhagya i.e KumKum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagaya and Bhagya Lakshmi.

However, the numbers have now dropped to around 1, which must be worrying the makers, for if they fall further, it will become a huge mountain to climb to get back to the original number; forget going higher.

Meet male lead Shagun Pandey also must be worried, for this was his big-ticket show, which could have catapulted him to the A league. He had done a lot of work before but never got his moment under the sun.

Parakh Madan, who plays the greyish character Masoom in Meet, felt that IPL could have played an essential role in ratings going south; “our 7.30 PM-time slot is when the evening matches start. “

“The makers were aware of this risk, and we have tried to keep the drama high; I am sure things will start to mend when IPL ends in the last week of May.”

Parakh, who has replaced Nisha Rawal in the show, added that “generally speaking, a lot of the youth dont have the patience to wait for a show to come on tv. They rather check it out on the web, whenever they feel like it. No wonder today we are struggling for a rating of 06.-0.7 compared to the time when shows reached up to 20 TVR” ended she.

Both Ashi and Shagun did not respond to our queries.
