ZEE TV continues to strengthen its position in the Hindi GEC space, clocking an impressive 51% growth between March 2025 and March 2026. The channel has been No.1 in core prime time for five consecutive months, dominating the 8 PM to 10 PM band with leadership across four consecutive slots, reflecting the strong connect its stories share with audiences across India. Celebrating this deep bond with viewers, the recently held Zee Kutumb Awards 2026 brought together the biggest stars of the channel, including actor Krystal D’Souza, who made a special return to Zee TV with a high-energy performance after six years.
Krystle lit up the stage at the Zee Kutumb Awards 2026 alongside the boys of Zee TV – Ved (Shagun Pandey), Dev (Abhishek Sharma), Shivaay (Farman Haider) and Siddhu (Sheizaan Khan). The actress performed on popular tracks including Tainu Shararat Sikhawa Jado Naina Ladawa from her film Dhurandhar, making it the first time she brought the song to television. Krystle was earlier a part of Zee TV’s popular show Brahmarakshas, which concluded in 2017. She later reunited with the channel for a special appearance in 2020, and now returns to the Zee family once again through the grand celebration of the Zee Kutumb Awards.
Sharing her excitement about coming back to the channel, Krystle said, “I was earlier a part of Zee TV’s show Brahmarakshas. After that I briefly came back to Zee, and now after almost six years, I’m once again associated with the Zee Kutumb family where I performed with the boys of Zee. I had the most fun shooting with them. I’m always grateful to Zee for believing in me as an artist and continuing to consider me a part of their family. Zee TV will always feel like home to me.”
She added, “Even though I’ve been busy with my OTT and Bollywood projects, it is always wonderful to come back to television. Nothing can replace the love I have for television in my heart, it always feels like coming back to my first love. Performing on my current track and bringing it to television for the first time makes it even more special.”
The Zee Kutumb Awards 2026 celebrated the spirit of aspirational India and the strong sense of community that defines Indian families. The red carpet welcomed beloved stars from the channel’s popular shows including Tumm Se Tumm Tak, Saru, Vasudha, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, Jagadhatri, Lakshmi Niwas and Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, who arrived not just as stars, but as members of one large Zee Kutumb.
Tune in to witness the biggest celebration of the Zee family – the Zee Kutumb Awards 2026, airing 22nd March, only on Zee TV!
