Evolution of different channels Star Network, India’s most popular network of TV channels, changed the pattern of Hindi TV serials on TV. Infact, after Doordarshan, it was the Star Network who dominated the TV channels. When the channel was about to shut down, just because of lack of impressive content, new TV serials were launched by Ekta Kapoor, daughter of veteran actor, Jeetendra Kapoor. Sheer timing, the set-up and a plot of different stories, attracted the TV audiences. The Hindi serials, telecast on all channels of the Star Network, turned around the fortunes for small screen entertainment.
