The popular Indian Television show 'Kumkum Bhagya' has manged to top the Television rating point in India so many weeks. But it seems the fans of Kumkum Bhagya are scattered all around the world. The show has managed to top the list of the most loved shows even in Ghana from the year 2015.

The national football team of Ghana is currently playing pre-quarterfinal of the 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association' (FIFA) world-cup U-17, 2017 in India. The FIFA U-17 team of Ghana that beat Niger by 2-0 to qualify for the next round is a huge fan of Kumkum Bhagya fame Shabbir Ahluwalia aka Abhishek (Abhi) Prem Mehra and Sriti Jha aka Pragya Abhishek Mehra.

The board chairman of the Ghana National Sports Authority, Kwadwo Agyemang, expressed his love for Kumkum Bhagya. While talking to Indian Express Kwadwo Agyemang said, "We want to meet and take photos with some of the actors, and even the producer, anyone will do. We don't even mind if it's for five minutes."

Agyemang further said that the show has been dubbed in their mother tongue and is aired during prime time on their Television. "They can stream it from the Ghana website on their phones to get the translated version, but we have confiscated their phones so they don't get distracted. I watch the show, so they keep asking me what is happening," he said.

Well, the way they were talking about their love for Kumkum Bhagya it seems that just like India, the TV of Ghana too lack good content because that can be the only reason that the show has attracted so much local audience.

"In Ghana, they don't want to invest in a production. Kumkum Bhagya has been aired for so long because people invested in creating sets, wrote scripts, made the plots. The TV shows in Ghana don't have great content, either," he further added.

Well, if you are still surprised with Kumkum Bhagya's fame in Ghana then here comes the next shock. The Vice-President's wife of Ghana has met and clicked pictures with cast and crew of Kumkum Bhagya during her visit to India.
