A section of viewers do prefer saas-bahu shows...but the channels air romantic promos when the leads come closer. It doesn't necessarily have to be hot. IPK always had good TRP...it was not the number one show on the TRP charts, but it was almost always in the top ten after the first 2-3 months. When the channel aired the dance sequence promo, the ratings rocketed and that the TRP for that episode was 5.0...highest ever for that show.
TP is currently airing the consummation promo and the ratings have increased. All other shows get promos when the leads get intimate, go on honeymoon etc. and get good ratings So why not our show?
Besides, it's just a dance. There is nothing offensive or vulgar about it. If not the dance, there could have been a promo about the trip to Jaipur or the hug scene.
All they had to do was to get the message across that the leads are coming closer, after the hate-marriage promo. Non-viewers would have certainly wondered what led to this.
Believe me, it works. Many times when I don't watch a show and they show romantic promos...I check it out.
