The figure just goes to show how much untapped TV Zombies are in India. Also how large tracts of the country does not vote at all.

The voting figure includes international voting and multiple voting. Which makes it even worse.

When more than 20% of the population can barely afford 1 meal a day, I don't blame them for not voting. The average Indian rather spend their money elsewhere in my opinion. My nana&nani constantly watch this show but I don't see why they would bother voting, they only watch it for entertainment. The only thing that keeps this show alive is more or less the youth of India-the teens that go crazyyy for all the 'hot guys' or 'hot girls'😛
I would love to encourage the whole of the country to vote but I think at this day and time, their money is probably better off spent elsewhere.

In a country of 1.3 billion(130 crore) people the winner got.18 million votes(1.8 lakh) votes and that much votes determine the episode winner. Going by the trend of votes gained by Sunita and Salman(though I suspect, how come they have only 1000 votes difference. That's bit odd to me and looked scripted) total votes might be 1 million or 10 lakh. It's a shame for ZEE! Zee should stop the voting(neither I am suggesting that Mithun should decide) and find better way to select the winner. Though I am glad in a way that log aab samajhdar ho gaye hain.

I don't know about other Indian reality shows. But look at American Idol. America has 300 million people(30 crore) and their weekly vote count on average is 30 million(3 crore). It's unbelievable!



Its the cost of voting in India. All American reality shows have toll free voting which makes it accessible to everyone. Indian shows are pay per vote text and calls making voting available only to the neurotic rich.

There is nothing shocking in this ..

You cannot compare US voting trends to those in India ..

Here I just got this

In USA,
Percentage of households that possess at least one television: 99
compare that to 105 million TV connections in India - WHERE is the comparison??

The reach of TV in India is still very debatable .. so you cant say 1.3 billion people watching DID..
lol
