Anupamaa: Anupamaa the Star Plus show produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut had a good sustenance phase in 2022. The big wedding of Anupamaa with Anuj Kapadia happened this year, which took the plot to a new high. This brought about the #MaAn craze, that of Anupamaa and Anuj Kapadia played by Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna. The show which launched in 2020 has been topping charts from the time of its inception. This year, though Anupamaa lost total supremacy with its numbers too dropping down from a 3+ TVR, it maintained its numero uno status for the majority of the weeks.
Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2: This Sony TV show produced by Balaji Telefilms had a good run in 2022, surviving many odds. The channel which is not known to have many long-running fiction shows saw Bade Acche Lagte Hain 2 creating a new record by being consistent. The show saw a generation leap followed by the kid track this year. With the New Year emerging, the show is all set for yet another generation leap with a probable change in its leads. Nakuul Mehta and Disha Parmar continued to be one of the favourite Jodi of the masses.
Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain: This long-running &TV show continued to spread its flavour of comedy everywhere. The year 2022 saw yet another replacement for Anita Bhabhi’s character.

The show produced by Cockrow and Shaika Entertainment saw a lot of twists and turns happening in the track. We saw the happy union of Virat and Sai, which was soon followed by their separation and a small leap with kids taking centre stage. The love triangle between Virat (Neil Bhatt), Sai (Ayesha Singh) and Pakhi (Aishwarya Sharma) grew complex with Virat and Pakhi’s marriage after Sai went out of Virat’s life. The show was subjected to boos and ridicules for the plot twists, but it managed to do really well. This is why we said, it managed to weather the storm.
