i only stopped watching PR when sushant left and hiten entered the show ...
why people blaming storyline/script for falling TRP of PR ... if that really the case , then why PR supposed to be in top position with trp of 5-6 + for almost 2.5 years and especially in shravni days when ppl were frustated with poor storyline ...
viewers always have complaint about bad story of PR from the beginning of the show except the initial 3 months ... then even then its trp never came below 3-4, it topped trp chart for 2.5 years with even 6+ trp and was never out of top 10 except once for only one week after divorce...
this proves actors do play a very important role in TRPs ...and ppl watch the show for their fav actors not only for just good story ... and when a certain actor plays a character for a long time , he makes a strong impact in viewers mind ... and hence ppl wont accept replacement any other actor in place of original ... KASAUTI , KYUKI (smriti irani replacement with ram kapoor wife gautami) are the best examples of this case
i strongly believes that sushant replacement and hiten entry as manav is the main and only reason for falling TRP of PR , not just its crappy story line ...
PR had much more crappy and worst storyline in shravni days as compared with its current story ... PR's current story is much more interesting than it had for most of the times ... but now it has comparatively much lower trp than previous ...
so things are obvious actors had major role to maintain trps
