I am sorry lashy for picking your post specifically, but my comment is more generic and off track, @divya : do let me know if this digression is ok in your thread?

I have been reading this term aunties and "TRP aunties" and more often than not it has a negative connotation, it implicitly or at times explicitly implies female viewers who have no taste when it comes entertainment. As a female, and a stay at home mom who plans her evening cooking and baby's feed time around JA i personally findit a little offensive. So for my peace of mind can folks please enlighten me what's the criteria for being an "aunty" and how does that criteria generalises one's eq, iq, and taste?


No offence anyone, it's just that when something tasteless and dumb is shown on TV comments like TRP aunties will love it crop up on this forum...so was just curious .

@lashy : again, I wasn't targeting your post at all. Sorry if you found it offensive in anyway.

Btw, I was thinking TRPs dipped in the middle of Ben- people probably assumed this was a repeat of the Ben track and did the same

I think what the channel is hoping is to shoot to no 1 on the climax a la Ben

MB will be out of the way too this week

DABH has a very high point this week

chitterati am sorry if you are in way hurt by the term..but it has nothing to do with offending anyone...this term we are using for long with relevance to every woman who sit and go through the bahus and saas contributing to trps...they sit through all nonsense for the love of the show and attachment to the characters...and trp aunties are those who have tam meters in thier house and contribute to trps ...the term wa snot meant to be offensive in any way..am once again sorry

they have a ME planned next week and yes they will have to built on the climax with sensational promos if they want the lost viewers back...ben track was completely different ...even with ben around every scene had jodha and jalal in it ..and now for past two weeks we have either papita or khyber and pray that jalal does not meet jodha or else one more screamathon😆😆

Sorry if it offends you- trp aunty is a phrase that has just developed - it represents what is the majority of the TRP audience. I would say it is no one on the forums by definition as it is not an audience that engages on the story the way we do and we refer to them as TRP Aunty as we are trying to understand their POV

But I understand ur point so I personally will stop using the phrase

I do think people are most frustrated with what is found to drive TRPs more than the people driving them

No need for apologies yaar, we all take this crap called JA which lately has been a saas babu saga anyway...so I guess we are all semi aunties...I am bit of a "touchy feminist" (as my hubby calls it) these days after recently becoming a stay at home mom. That's all... I wasn't seeking any apology but just wanted to understand the origins of the term.

Right now seems like we are already at the end of the Ben track- counting dresses, sick of her face

I think the "marriage" will be the climax
