Nine's loss has been Star's gain. Star Plus will commence airing Sanjay Khan's Jannat, bought over as part of the Channel Nine library, from 8 December at 7 pm. 

Kabhie Souten Kabhie Saheli and Kundali, two more serials from the Nine stables, have already started telecast on Star, and are reportedly doing well. indiantelevision.com had reported earlier this month that Star had paid only 20 per cent of the actual valuation of the library it bought after Doordarshan dumped Channel Nine Gold. The library is valued at around Rs 120 million.

Jannat, a daily soap that had a 37 episode run on DD Metro, follows the trials and travails of a Muslim family. The couple's desire to have a child is thwarted by the wife's inability to bear one. Predictable tussles follow after the man agrees to his wife's request to get married once again.

Kabhie Souten Kabhie Saheli which airs Monday to Friday at 3:30 pm, deals with two friends who are close despite their differing backgrounds. As the story progresses, both get married to the same man. Once the cat gets out of the bag, the two women scheme a revenge plot to get even. Kundali, another program from the Nine library, deals with a strikingly similar theme. The serial explores different events which shape the direction of our lives. Two sisters, married into the same household, suffer at the hands of a wrathful mother-in-law. The family quibbles come to the screen every Thursday at 8 pm.
