The re-telecast of this show has broken records and overtaken the initial popularity it gained when it was telecast for the first time from January 25, 1987 to July 31, 1988. Even back then, it held the title of the most watched serial in the world, for a while.
Up until June 2003, the show held the record of “the most watched mythological serial in the world” in the Limca Book of Records.
