The channel's new fiction show Humse Hai Liife ' with just five weeks on-air has now climbed the charts to be the number one show for two consecutive weeks. Both the daily fiction shows, Humse Hai Liife and Dil Dostii Dance are campus-based concepts that focus on determined and passionate youngsters who want to make it big in life through their passions.
