TRP Tango: Kyunki Slithers Neck-and-Neck with Anupamaa – Smriti’s Comeback Bites Back!

 Oh, honey, spill that chai-fueled truth bomb! No cap, those TRP naysayers can zip it – Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is straight-up serving Anupamaa a spicy saas-bahu showdown, nipping at its heels like a sassy serpent in stilettos. We're talking a razor-thin 0.1-point gap in the latest Week 40 BARC blitz (October 16 drop), where Rupali Ganguly's OG queen clocks 2.3, and Smriti Irani's phoenix-from-the-ashes Tulsi vibes hit 2.2. That's closer than a Diwali diya flicker – one plot twist, and boom, crown flip!

Flashback to the reboot glow-up: Ekta Kapoor's nostalgia nuke launched in August, and Smriti's long-lost return (girl's been politicking harder than plotting family feuds) rocketed it to No. 1, even tying Anupamaa at launch with that Mihir magic from Amar Upadhyay. But hold the popcorn – by mid-September, it dipped to 2.1, letting Rupali reclaim the throne at 2.4. Then Week 39? Back to 2.0, duking it out with Anupamaa's 2.1. And now? That 0.1 cliffhanger has fans feral – will Tulsi's tango topple the Anupamaa empire next week?You're spot-on with the comeback calculus: Reviving a relic like Kyunki (prime-time fossil from the early 2000s) is like rebooting a retro rom-com in the TikTok era – tougher than a fresh flick snagging eyeballs. Newbies like Udne Ki Aasha sneak into top 3 with shiny scripts and zero baggage, but legacy soaps gotta hustle harder for that traction tango. Exhibit A: Rupali's own sequel floperoo in some side-hustle (or was it a Sanjivani echo? Either way, no big TRP fireworks). Yet here’s the mic-drop: Smriti, absent from the small screen longer than a monsoon drought, struts back and snags silver – or gold on launch week! That's queen energy, proving star power > screen time. Ekta's empire-building? Chef's kiss. Anupamaa's loyal aunties? Unshakeable. But Kyunki's surge screams: Nostalgia's the ultimate plot armor.So, darlings, buckle up – this TRP thriller's got more twists than a Virani family reunion. Who's betting on Smriti's slither to supreme? Drop your hot takes below – the saas-bahu saga's just heating up! PS  Smriti and  Sakshi Tanwar( Parvati) milan might just push the ball in  Kyonki court  what say guys
