Tumm Se Tumm Tak- Sharad Kelkar On Ruling TRP Charts Even After 2 Decades: I Work Hard, Stay true To...'

Sharad Kelkar is once again at the centre of attention on Indian television, with Zee TV’s Tumm Se Tumm Tak leading ratings charts. At the Zee Kutumb Nomination Party, host Jay Soni honours Sharad as a “TRP King”, underlining how the actor’s popularity remains strong even after two decades.

Sharad’s journey with the channel stretches back to 2005, when Zee TV’s Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar became one of the highest-rated daily soaps. After twenty years, Sharad now fronts Tumm Se Tumm Tak, which is also among the top shows in current TRP rankings, echoing that earlier success.

During the celebration, Jay Soni looks back at Sharad’s sustained presence in prime-time fiction. Jay tells Sharad, There are very few artists who rule the TRP charts. You were a TRP king 20 years back, and you are still ruling the TRP chart today. In every sense, you are a TRP king. The remark links Sharad’s early success to current viewership numbers.

Responding to Jay’s praise, Sharad credits the broadcaster and personal effort rather than individual fame. Sharad says, It's all because of Zee TV. Twenty years back, they gave me a chance to be a part of their show Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar, and today they have once again trusted me with a beautiful show like Tumm Se Tumm Tak. Talking about being referred to as a TRP King, all I want to say is that as an artist, I just work hard, stay true to my art, and remain dedicated. The rest is destiny's call.

The Zee Kutumb Nomination Party special showcases this link between Zee TV and Sharad, alongside lighter moments with casts from multiple dramas. With Tumm Se Tumm Tak currently performing strongly in ratings, the event underlines how Sharad’s association with the channel continues to shape popular fiction for Indian television audiences.
