Hi Sforsuccess!!
Welcome to the forum!!👏 And love your post.. Some facts remain unchanged.. BALH fans are not gonna stop watching the show just becoz the TRP's are dropping!! Yup! you are right about the loyal fab base.. It has been created thanks to the wonderful show they have been churning!! And those viewers would stay irrespective of the highs and lows!!
But TRP's do determine the money that one would make with respect to advertisements! Unlike viewers, companies do not care abt the plot or the novelty of the show but only if it makes business sense to invest their money in tht timeslot!!
Wrt to online viewership and NRI's,I feel its high time they include it because there are a whole lot of viewers andI hope they find some way to advertise and then include them in their viewership a/c. And its not only BALH but a whole host of other shows who have viewership in thousands or even millions!And it makes my belief firm that online viewers would definitely be a part of it in the future..
I think the viewers who are upset abt TRPs, atleast I can speak for myself, are the ones who feel that the Indian audience have still stuck on to decade old kitchen politics and not welcomed such a wonderful show thereby showing the change in the audience mindset! Also there is this anger towards the channel for doing enough in promoting this show leading to lower TRP's. The last point would be the frustration since this show has potential to be the show stopper and deserves much higher TRP's.
But its heartening to note that the industry has recognized the gem! The accoloades are a mere depiction of our work being appreciated! That is the solace that I derive! We are trend setters and rightly so.
Having said this.. We love BALH!! Ram and PRiya are and will remain the best in the industry!! WE would continue to love our show!
