We’ve all seen our mothers anticipating a fight in a typical Saas-Bahu serial, but what if you’re rewarded for simply guessing? ZSF allows viewers to pick their favourite on-screen characters across TV shows in order to curate their own Super Family. This is certainly a brand new innovation that is aimed to bring the audience closer to their favourite Zee TV characters and that too in exciting new formats. Undoubtedly, the kind of engagement levels and traffic that ZEE5 witnessed with gamification was exceptional and 2020 will see the platform adopting similar ways to foster new connections.
