An elated Nitin Vaidya, COO, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. and Business Head, Zee TV said, "Though we are happy with the ratings, the proof of the pudding now lies not in numbers but who takes the baton of entertainment forward and we are overwhelmed by the viewer’s response for all our shows. Also, what is interesting to note here is the fact that Z e TV’s performance is based on its non film content hence we have never felt compelled to attempt gimmicks like running break free movies unlike other channels. The priority has always been to provide with the best content which is also relatable to the viewers and hence our programs like Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, Pavitra Rishta and Choti Bahu are continuing to do well consistently. Besides, brands like L’il Champs that were earlier launched in the past still continue to deliver good ratings only basis it’s amazingly good quality of talent which we have hand picked from various corners of the nation."
