It has been just 5 episodes with a new lead, the actual story which was given in the first promos is just getting started, the new jodi is being promoted now by channel, many viewers who were watching for Sanaya but were turned off by previous male lead are slowly trickling in as they find out about replacement, a proof of that is the increase in activity in this forum.
Chhanchhan is also competing against well established shows, especially one which is a TRP chart topper. This show comes only 4 days in a week, unlike the others.
Even if you check back MB TRP, they did not jump from low TRP to high in 5 episodes, it was gradual increase as the chemistry of actors caught on.
Like I said look at the top TRP shows none of their actors are super popular, that does not stop TRP from pouring in...neither the acting is spectacular or stories path breaking. The two shows you mentioned are love stories which are more popular among young crowd and in online forums. Another example is Sanaya's last show, which dominated IF during its run.
Family dramas takes more time to find acceptance and geared towards a different audience, many of whom may not necessarily be active on internet.
