Kasturi

Kasturi's TRP ratings have gone down recently. The actors of the show are keeping themselves busy doing other shows so the production house has to make do with cheat shots all the time. Despite having a very strong technical department a host of causes are contributing to the serial's underperformance.

Says a source, "Ekta is very upset with TRPs of Kasturi. A lot of cheat shots are being used for the show. The storyline is going haywire and the actors are involved in other projects of their own. Jatin is doing Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Karan Patel is doing Nach Baliye 3. There is no proper creative team to take the right decisions at the right time. Most of the unit members and artists have lost their interest in the show. The soap has the best of technicians in the industry, but the show is suffering due to the lead actors backing out. Initially it was entirely copying other popular soap Kahin Toh Hoga but were unable to carry the act till the end. The TRP's which were 4 earlier and is now 2.97. "

Karan Patel

When contacted, Nivedita Basu said, "Karan has been doing cheat shots ever since he's is participating in Nach Baliye. Jatin however, manages his time somehow. In this situation, it is pretty normal for the TRPs to fall. The cricket matches and raksha bandhan have contributed to further deterioration. In fact, the TRP's of most of the 8-12 shows have gone down in the recent past."

Says Karan Patel from Kasturi, " I don't know about the cheat shots. They might have happened once in a while. The TRPs are very unpredictable. The viewers appreciate some aspects of the story. I have been concentrating on Nach Baliye so I hardly had the time to follow the TRPs or the telecast of the show."

When contacted director Gary Bhinder said, "We are trying our level best now to get the TRPs back."
