Real but not reel : Gautami Gadgil and Ram Kapoor (TOI Photo)

doweshowbellyad=0; The audience cannot accept that the holier-than-thou Tulsi has a love interest besides her husband Mihir.


Gautami Gadgil Kapoor has been reasonably well accepted as Tulsi by the Indian audiences after Smriti Irani's exit from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi . But, much needs to be done to amp up the chemistry between real-life couple Gautami and Ram Kapoor aka JR Thakral. Apparently, the show's TRPs have been dipping ever since Thakral came into the picture as Tulsi's ex-lover.

Says a source, The new Tulsi's character has not been established in the show yet. The audience cannot accept that the holier-than-thou Tulsi has a love interest besides her husband Mihir.

Too much has happened in the new Tulsi's life, too soon. It's not that Tulsi hasn't been accepted, but the storyline has to be developed in a better and more convincing way. The show's TRP has come down to 4 due to this recent storyline, adds the source.

However, Doyal Som, creative head of the show, says, Ram and Gautami have been liked immensely in Ghar Ek Sapna, so they may be liked here too.

Commenting on the dipping TRPs, Som says, Initially, the track wasn't focused entirely on them. They came face-to-face in the show recently. We cannot say that the TRPs have gone down due to one particular reason.

TRPs keep fluctuating. There is a lot of competition because of new channels and shows. I think the track is warming up with viewers.
