Prime time TV soaps ride high on supernatural drama, religious beliefs

While you watch a wife trying to protect her husband from a daayan (witch) on a mainstream entertainment channel, another leading Hindi GEC shows a devotee overcoming death because of her strong belief in Lord Shiva. These and more are currently the top viewed shows on television. Viewers are literally biting their nails off as they root for supernatural themes, superstitions and religious-belief related shows.
