Okay guys I know we all have seen TRP ratings. This is NOT a discussion on TRPs. This is a call to action! . But as much as happy we can be about forum ranking increasing, that does not matter AT ALL. IT's TRPs that rule the roost and we ALL know it.

Here are some general facts about why we are witnessing such a dip:

1. We all know that TRPs ONLY count in India. Not abroad, unfortunately.

2. DEK's slot rival, EMMBH has started love track, and Star Plus has been promoting it for past 3 weeks.

3. TRPs are dipping even with ManVeer centered scenes last week because of PR campaign on Akash coming back

Guys we can complain, yell, and stomp our feet at the CVs for not properly promoting DEK, but forget about them!!! We can't control the CVs, they will do as they wish and so let's DO what we can do as FANS! Let's be proactive guys!!! And NOT on this forum, but out in our actual lives, not cyber lives on DEK forum, LOL

Suggested Plan of Action:

1. Talk about DEK with all your friends, especially those who are not watching the show, encourage them to watch it on their TV at 8:30 pm!!! Promote the show LIKE CRAZY by spreading the word

2. A word of advice, if your friends are stubborn personalities who won't switch, then don't tell them to switch, merely keep on talking about the show, ESPECIALLY the interesting ongoing track of ManVeer love story. This will only make them curious and perhaps check it out on their own without you telling them too.

3. IF you ARE already talking about DEK with your friends because your friends are DEK fans as well, start talking about it in bigger groups, or where nearby girls can hear you (read: eavesdrop) on your conversation. Keep OMGing about Uday, a hot guy always garners a girls attention 😉. And also DON"T FORGET to mention LOVE TRACK!!!

4. I have no idea, BUT if any of you have better suggestions please talk about it!!!! I wish for this post to be a way to garner ideas on how to promote this show as fans, because we can bitch and moan about CVs all we want, but that's NOT going to make a difference! Being proactive fans MIGHT!

5. After doing all this, KEEP on discussing this show, spread the DEk energy and momentum. Don't let it die out!!! I know we are crazy enough fans that we can talk about DEK 24/7 if we wanted too so go out in the real world and spread the DEK LOVE!!!

I KNOW it might seem helpless, BUT I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THESE, and somehow have gotten my ALL my friends/cousins and other girls ADDICTED to this show by trying ALL these methods. This show is AWESOME, all we need to do is raise the curiosity factor for this show, and once we get these fans addicted to the show, they won't want to leave because HELLO they don't have to go through the debate of ManVeer happening because it is currently unraveling before our faces in this current track!!!

Look at EMMBH, they have raised TRPs because of love track that is going on, I know if CVs promoted it, we would have better TRPs, BUT guys COME ON, let's NOT focus on that, and start being PROACTIVE fans!!! Let's spread the DEK LOVE, ESPECIALLY those of you who are fans in INDIA!!! Because TRPs are ONLY counted in India so we need more INDIAN fans to start watching or come back to watching Dekha Ek Khwab!!!

Again, if you guys have even better ideas, PLEASE share, because I feel like we need to spread DEK love far and wide and it won't happen unless we start talking about it more and more with NOT only friends on forum or close friends, but by also being loud enough that people can eavesdrop without effort when hearing you talk about this show. Let's spread the DEK curiosity and love, it's the least we can do as DEK loyalists!!! 😉

P.S.--I am sorry to those who I have yet to reply to on my own post, but when I came on forum and saw DEK TRP thread, I HAD to make this post! Please forgive me, I shall start writing my replies now *rushes off to analysis post*

Well feel like ManVeer has always taken time because it needed development, because both UV and Manyata have such huge egos and both needed to chip away at each others egos as well, LOL. But yes I think CVs are doing that, and they are doing it slowly because ManVeer have yet to face their biggest conflict, Akash, who has yet to make a reentry in their lives. So right now we shall enjoy M being confused about her feelings for Uday 😆😉

Fabulous Post and initiative shama! It is really sad that trp's are falling inspite of interesting track. Infact I always tell my close family n friends in India to watch DEK. Sad that trp's outside India are not considered.

Apart from that there are few things we can do as well. We shouldnot lose faith in DEK. Last week when there was Akaash return in DEK then almost everyone in forum had turned negative. There were so many negative posts that DEK is not good and we are going to stop watching this show. There are few persons who are vocal but many hundreds of silent readers who will eventually get influenced with negativity and might stop watching dek. It is not my intention to offend anyone. I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion. But we have to keep faith in show and not be Sooo negative and frustrated if anything disappointing happens. We should focus and discuss positive points also along with our negative rants.

yes, u are right
have tried it with family and friends
and they had started watching the princess competition track too
but the cvs did a u turn and now all have stopped watching it
the problem with dek is no promio
the channel will not show promos unlesss the trps are above 1
so till that happen no one knows what is happening in dek
if u request the channel to show promos SR of sony tvj ust tells u to stop
she is very rude, just anwsers query on ekta shows that too if u are appreciating her
we can try promoting it,
i am addicted to dek only because of uv,
but frankly speaking the show is stuck between rude sony tv wallas and stubborn cvs with abhishek rawat fixation
i personally do not think the trps will go anywhere ,it is too late for it
we can be just positive and hope that they do not scrap the show
and be evn more optimist that even if they do scrap the show, we will get to c ak in a new serial in a brand new lead role

agree agree

cv's have no sense of promotion .

when in precap they show someone else say akash , or other character (meaning fans repeller) same at that time only i mean in that epi only we get soooper dooper manveer scene but as the precap is dissapointing so i don't switch on .

but wen i come 2 forum i realize something manveerlious has happened so i watch it on line or i actually set my alarm at 2.30 am n watch it at night coz can;t sleep without seeing manveer .

i have done in recent jungle track manveer epi seen them at 2.30 am n again n agin on youtube channel. i gave a miss coz of akash / aryan track promotion.

so many of us have done it

as per as competition is concerned i guess 8.30 slot has became new youth oriented slot

so u shud do things which appeal youth. as ek hazaroo mein ... cv's r doing.

now drishti's new show is coming on colors naturally there is stiff competion

no offence i love drishti like anything. it will do well coz promotion n promient channel

but now where do DEK STAND N TO ADD FUEL IPL is on so trps diminish further

but pls pls guys after IPL PLS DO WATCH DEK on sony live to all indian viewers n abroad on yout channel setindia

can't see waste of such a show ;having so much potential which clearly was having n still can have the quality 2 be at the top position.

p.s- sony always fails these years in pulling of daily fiction. they mainly rely on reality, kbc n cid types shows .balh was a exception

and with kbc cuming i m scared for my manveer

Yess i agree with you, and more over it i want to say that even we have to take the initiative by also being active in the forum itself because it is said that

EVERY CHANGE STARTS FROM THE HOME ITSELF

and we have to make the start from the forum itself by escorting our show to the top 5 show of the forum.

Steps to achieve it=>
just one that we have to like and comment on every post of dek forum we have weekly 327 votes so if we all 327 comment on each thread
our forum rating will be rage.

oh shama, awesome plans of saving DEK,
It seems like we viewers are more concerned about DEK rather than cvs . seriously , nice measures ,i would try to promote it with my blog, facebook and twitter and also with my family and friends.
but real magic is i hand of cvs, marketing team should be thrown out . sense less promoters.rest of the praises of excellent brain cells of cvs are in my reply to your analysis.

Excellent post Shama and you've taken a brilliant step 👏 . I must say I am impressed. It's really depressing to see the TRPs falling again when the show is going so good and the current track also seems to be interesting. I agree that the show is not being promoted the way it should, especially the ManVeer track. And the have started promoting Akash/Aryan again which has scared the wits out of people because they feel that history might repeat itself and the month of March still haunts them. But I would request all of you, who are reading this, to just forget about the promos and the CVs for a while. Because there is just one thing that affects TRPs. And that is US!! The viewers, the fans. It's the audience that have the power to turn the show into a hit or a flop. So if it's anyone's fault, it's ours that the TRPs are drastically falling.
No offence to anyone, but just think about it for a while. The moment something doesn't happen according to our wishes, we literally start throwing tantrums. Akash made a re-entry, though we knew it for weeks that he's going to comeback, we again lost hope in the show in a jiffy. WHY? Why do we do that? Why do we always talk about quitting the show if one episode doesn't go according to our expectations? We cannot judge the future track of the show based on just one episode. I remember that the month of March was terrible for DEK. We lost more than half of our fan-following. And I can completely understand why. These episodes were a torture. But I still didn't quit the show. I used to watch it every single day, going completely out of my mind witnessing Manyata's antics but I still watched it anyway. Because a part of me had hope that the track would eventually move forward. And well, it did. And I don't understand why now of all times people have started losing faith in the show. Now when we all are finally getting what we want. ManVeer. Agreed that no one likes watching Akash, I don't like him too, but who watches the show for him anyway? We watch this show for Uday and ManVeer. So keep watching it for Uday and ManVeer because whatever is happening right now, all that BR-Maya and Aryan-Tara track, it's just combining together to give us more ManVeer. I mean what kind of a love-story would it be if there are no obstacles and villains in it? And this is ManVeer. They are obviously going to have a lot of obstacles in their love-story. Lol. So if it's anyone's fault, it's ours. We call ourselves loyal DEK fans but just ask yourselves once, "Our we really loyal to our show?" . I am sure you'll find the answer and work on it too. We should not lose hope in the show no matter what. Don't let a few bad episodes overshadow all the good ones that we have watched until now. Because it's very upsetting to see how people start talking about quitting the show almost every other week, Only WE can save our beloved show. Not the channel, not the CVs, and not any promotions. It's all in our hands now. So guys please, let's work together and save our beloved DEK. For the sake of Uday, for the sake of ManVeer. Please! 😊

P.S; Again, I did not intend to offend anyone with this post.
