Ratings (TRPs)
Kya Mast Hai Life Season 2 received a good response, but not as that of season 1. But even if the show's second season received poor ratings, shows like Ishaan and Best of Luck Nikki couldn't reach the overwhelming ratings of Kya Mast Hai Life. The first season's response was excellent. Due to their popularity, the Disney India offered them many advertisements and soon the show became award-winning . The show's rating is of about 2.5. It is the highest rated show on Disney India till date and the second season's highest was 1.3.
