    Mumbai: &TV on Wednesday announced the launch of its latest offering ‘Ghar Ek Mandir – Kripa Agrasen Maharaja Ki’ set to premiere on 10 August. The socio-mythological show will air every Monday to Friday at 9 pm only on &TV.

His teachings and principles hold relevance even today and serve as a guiding force for leading life. The story will depict Agrasen Maharaja’s core principles through his ardent ‘bhakt’ (devotee) and the show’s lead protagonist, Genda, said the statement.

    The cast comprises Shrenu Parekh as Genda, Sai Ballal as Kundan Agarwal, Sameer Dharmadhikari as Agrasen Maharaja, Akshay Mhatre as Genda’s husband, Varun Agarwal, Vishal Nayak as Manish Agarwal, Kenisha Bhardwaj as Nisha Agarwal, Yamini Singh as Santosh, Archana Mittal as Anuradha Agarwal.

    Commenting on the launch, &TV, business head, Vishnu Shankar, said, “In challenging times what helps us stay afloat are our principles, our beliefs and most importantly, our family. We are proud to bring to the television screen for the first time ever, a socio-mytho show around the legendary Agrasen Maharaj, whose principles and teachings are relevant even today, centuries later. While he may have been the founding father of the Aggarwal community, his teachings are universal. ‘Ghar Ek Mandir – Kripa Agrasen Maharaja Ki’ is a captivating tale of faith, family, and life.”

    “The story is an emotional journey of Genda and how she conquers every challenge in her life through her faith,” added ZEE Studios, business head Anshul Khullar.

    UTV’s ‘Shagun’ riding high in afternoon slot: TAM data

    If its Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi from the Balaji stable in the evening prime band, UTV’s Shagun is currently the number one non prime time show on television among Hindi speaking audiences. The unfolding drama has left Sony’s Ghar Ek Mandir, Zee TV’s Babul Ki Duniya and even the newly launched Chandan Ka Palna on Zee far behind in the soap race, according to a company release.

     

    It is among the top 4 shows today on Star Plus after KSBKBT, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Kaun Banega Crorepati, despite being in the afternoon time band, the release adds.

     

    Shagun has steadily climbed the TRP charts to garner ratings better than many prime time programmes. Says Zarina Mehta who created the show: “We are delighted that our story is appealing to audiences. Shagun is about two sisters Aradhana & Arti who love each other more than life itself. But Aradhana is “abshaguni” (jinxed) and somehow manages to bring terrible unhappiness not only to herself but worse still to those she loves most. Shagun is a tragic and beautiful story of Aradhana’s struggle to win despite her own fate.”

     

    Latest TAM data collated for a three-week period across all-India C&S homes, shows Shagun averaging 2.9 TRPs ahead of Sony’s Ghar Ek Mandir with 2.5 TRPs and both Zee offerings Chandan Ki Palna Resham (0.8 TRPs) and Gharana (0.6 TRPs). All these programmes air in the afternoon slot.

     

    Shagun screens every afternoon at 2:30 PM with a repeat telecast at 11:30 PM from Monday to Thursday on Star Plus.
