It was done with style and grandeur during the Zee Kutumba Utsava event which saw all the Zee Kannada characters come together to celebrate Ugadi.

    Staying true to the brand philosophy, 'Bayasid'dha Bāgilu Tegiyōṇa', which translates to “Open Doors to Possibilities”, to inspire viewers, especially women, to take initiatives and rise above circumstances to craft their own destiny, the content refresh exercise will see Zee characters surging ahead in quest of their goals which the audience has been curiously looking forward to over 100s of episodes. The channel also announced the launch of two new fictions whose lead characters reflect the channel’s brand philosophy.  The Zee Kutumba Utasava also saw the powerful Naari Shakti of Zee Kannada unveil the specially crafted promos which gave the audience a glimpse of the ‘high points’ that are coming their way.

    Based on the insights from extensive consumer research, Zee Kannada’s content refresh aims to provide entertaining content to its audience that they are most expecting and cater to their anticipation.
