With the onset of the month of October, the last quarter of this year has begun. TRP’s are flying left and right, with popular TV shows taking over prime time slots like Big Boss and Kaun Banega Crorepati. Other buzz around the television industry includes the news of a reboot for Kasauty Zindagi ki and the season 6 of the famous talk show, Koffee with Karan.
