TV Serial Anupamaa Update: Star Plus' TV serial 'Anupama', which has ruled the TV screens for years and has been consistently number one on the TRP chart, is currently going through its worst phase. There was a time when even touching the TRP of this show was a dream for other makers, but what has happened in the last few weeks has surprised everyone. After continuous decline in ratings, now Rupali Ganguly's show has slipped straight to sixth (6th) number.
On the other hand, Zee TV's shows with new and fresh content like 'Vasudha', 'Ganga Maiya Ki Betiyaan' and 'Tumse Tum Tak' have been successful in attracting the audience and are winning the TRP race. What happened that the magic of Rupali Ganguly's Anupama suddenly faded? Let us talk about this in detail.
Anupama The character has been stuck in the same maze for the last several years. Every time she breaks, recovers, becomes self-reliant and then reaches there after becoming a victim of some family crisis. This stagnation of characters and lack of progressive thinking has completely distanced the youth and new-age audience from the show.
The entry of new characters (Raahi and Prem) in Anupama was done so that a new and fresh angle could be given to the story. But the makers once again repeated the same old mistake. The audience is not getting to see anything new in this new track also. The audience is now completely bored with the recycled storytelling full of bitterness, old misunderstandings and conflicts between mother and daughter.
The sudden return of Shruti in the story and the forced controversies that arose thereafter have disappointed the audience. Fans believe that instead of bringing any newness to the script, the makers are resorting to these twists only to prolong the story. When there is no innovation in the writing itself, how will the audience feel connected to the show? This 'Deja Vu' is taking a toll on the show.
New and unique serials of other channels are directly benefiting from the falling ratings of 'Anupama'. For example, Zee TV's new shows like 'Vasudha' and 'Ganga Maiya Ki Betiyaan' are currently serving something different and fresh to the audience. The stories of these shows are progressing at a fast pace as per today's times and without any unnecessary drama. When viewers started getting better and new options on other channels, they thought it better to stay away from the track of 'Anupama'.

The leaps and entry of new characters that the makers have resorted to in recent times to drag the story forward have completely backfired. The remaining gap was filled by the loud acting and screaming drama of the villains in the show. Now, instead of suspense or emotion, there is only noise in the show, due to which the family audience, fed up, has now started pressing the second remote on the TV screen in the evening.
After being number one for years, 'Anupama' is now at a point where drama or old tricks alone will not work. If the show wants to regain its lost throne, then the makers will need very good twists and turns with new characters, otherwise new shows like 'Ganga Maiya Ki Betiyaan' will leave it far behind in the race.
