The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) ratings for week 39 is here. Ekta Kapoor’s ambitious reboot of Kasautii Zindagii Kay, featuring Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes, has opened to big numbers on the ratings chart. Bigg Boss 12, which beat Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 last week, has seen a major decline.

Supernatural drama Naagin 3 continued to enjoy its top slot. Other shows in the top five include Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kundali Bhagya, Kullfi Kumar Bajewala and Kumkum Bhagya.
