Indian TV Serial's in Turkey​

Turkey is the Biggest Exporter of Television drama all over the world, including Pakistan, Iran, Arab World, Africa, South America, Europe, and Central Asia. Note that, Zee's Zindagi Channel got rating by airing Turkish serials, and after the ban on Indian Serials, Pakistani TV Channels are airing Turkish Dramas. Star Plus's "Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon" as "Bir Garip Aşk" was first ever Indian Serial, which aired on any Turkish Channel. Kanal 7, a lesser-known channel in Turkey and Central Asia aired this serial in 2016 on the Non-Prime time band (4 PM), but very soon they recorded a jump in TRP at that time, so they moved it to Prime Time."Iss Pyar ko Kya Naam Doon" alone quad-multiplied the Ratings of Kanal 7 and brought it to the competition.

Indian TV Serial's in Myanmar
​

Indian Drama's are also being aired on Myanmar's Popular GECs, Southeast Asia Market is Strong Foot Hold of Korean Dramas, just like Central Asia is Market of "Russian Dramas", and West Asia is the foothold of "Turkish Dramas". But we have started getting viewerships from these markets as well. Indian Dramas are unnecessarily lengthy and lack in story and quality, compare to Europian, Russian, Turkish, American, and Korean Dramas, but they are cheap, and broadcaster need not worry about "what after this ends", Indian Dramas are getting space.

MRTV-4 is Airing/Aired:
ManMohini as "ဘဝေဟာင္းမွ ခ်စ္သူ"

5 Plus Channel is Airing/Aired:

Nowhere have Indian serials been more popular than Africa. Zee World is single-handedly one of the most popular channels in South Africa, Nigeria, etc. In response, Star launched Star Life.

A year ago there was a serial entitled Mehek shown in Africa with an African cast.

Zee - A true African phenomenon

Nowhere have Indian serials been more popular than Africa. Zee World is single-handedly one of the most popular channels in South Africa, Nigeria, etc.

Zee is on Mission.

Zee World (English for Africa), Zee Magic (French for Africa), Zee Alwan (Arabic for MENA), Zee Mundo (Spanish for Latin America), Zee One (German for Germany, Austria, Poland), Zee TV Russia (Russia & CIS), Zee Nung (Thailand), Zee Bioskope (Indonesia), Zee Sine (Philipines) are doing good for us.

Previously Zee had a popular channel for Malaysia named Zee Vairasi, which later closed by Astro, and replaced by Tara HD. Now Tara HD is also closed and its place has been taken by Colors HD, which airs Hindi Serials. Prior to Zee Bioskope for Indonesia, Zee had "Zee Hiburan", which later converted to Zee Bioskope.

Zee also tried the Vietnamese market with Zee Phim but didn't succeed.
