Imagine's viewership has fallen considerably compared to the last few weeks, with the end of reality show Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. From a share of 12 per cent in Week 10, it has now managed to garner merely 8 per cent share, losing 63 GRPs.

SAB and STAR One have maintained their shares of 6 and 3 per cent respectively. DD1 and Sahara One have garnered 2 per cent share each, followed by STAR Utsav, which has garnered 1 per cent share.
