The tides have shifted, but the storm is familiar. Samridhii Shukla takes back the top spot in Week 17’s FMN ratings after a short dethroning, reclaiming it like she never left. Right on her heels? The ever-reliable Rupali Ganguly, who proves yet again that consistency is her middle name. Meanwhile, Shraddha Arya makes a fiery comeback into the third spot, shaking up the chart with a Kumkum-shaped twist. Add in Rohit Purohit’s tenacity and Ayesha Singh’s iron grip on the top five, and you’ve got a leaderboard that’s anything but sleepy.
Top 10 TV Personalities of the Week (FMN Rating) – Week 17
1. Samridhii Shukla (741 points) – Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – Star Plus
Sharp, steady, and every bit the fan-favorite, Samridhii didn’t just return to #1—she reclaimed it like she knew it was always hers.
2. Rupali Ganguly (738 points) – Anupamaa – Star Plus
Still commanding the screen and the spotlight, Rupali proves once again that veteran energy is hard to beat when paired with flawless execution.
3. Shraddha Arya (733 points) – Kumkum Bhagya – Zee TV
Call it a comeback with attitude. Shraddha’s entry into the top three adds spice to the Zee TV lineup—and competition to Star Plus.
4. Rohit Purohit (728 points) – Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – Star Plus
The perfect counterbalance to Samridhii, Rohit is not just support—he’s a storm of his own, keeping the plot and his ranking electric.
5. Ayesha Singh (721 points) – Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki – Colors TV
Quietly determined, Ayesha continues to stay in the upper bracket with a loyal following and steady grip on digital buzz.
6. Pranali Rathod (717 points) – Kumkum Bhagya – Zee TV
Subtle, strategic, and suddenly everywhere. Pranali’s building her momentum in true underdog fashion—and it’s working.
7. Hiba Nawab (714 points) – Jhanak – Star Plus
Jhanak’s anchor and audience magnet. Hiba’s rise is no fluke—it’s a slow burn that refuses to go out.
8. Adrija Roy (706 points) – Anupamaa – Star Plus
Adrija proves she’s more than background—she’s key to Anupamaa’s layered storytelling.
9. Neha Harsora (697 points) – Udne Ki Aasha – Star Plus
Still climbing, still compelling. Neha’s presence gives “Udne Ki Aasha” the emotional backbone it needs.
10. Kanwar Dhillon (692 points) – Udne Ki Aasha – Star Plus
A little dip this week, but Kanwar remains a fan-favourite with undeniable charisma and the potential to shoot back up.
Takeaway This Week
Shraddha Arya’s resurgence brought serious disruption to a fairly Star Plus-dominated chart, proving Zee TV still got the contenders who can punch above their weight. Meanwhile, Samridhii and Rupali continue their near-weekly chess match for the top, with no sign of either backing down. This week’s data also showed a tighter gap across the Top 10, hinting that any slight boost in fan engagement, especially on YouTube or Google, could shake up next week’s ranks dramatically. Bottom line: it’s not just about acting; it’s about attention.
