The initial excitement of watching the show died down considerably. My mother who loved Shaheer since Navya started watching the show without fail. Now she says she can't watch at night. Rather she would see Anant in the morning. So she watches repeat. My brother who liked the show stopped watching after the Prenup fiasco. He is a lawyer so he felt they ridiculed Legal system .

Hi...I had not watched any TV show(soap) in the last 5 years...I had liked KRPKAB promos especially the proposal one...After watching that episode, I went online and watched all the episodes...I loved KRPKAB because it brought a smile every single day...I have not missed a single episode so far...but these days, I am finding it tough to watch it without getting sad...i cannot watch Sona getting insulted...She is treated very badly in that house... The last straw is Dev telling at Sona...the weekend does not seem long anymore...I still watch the old episodes(first dance, candle searching episode, day after proposal episode, gajra episode etc)

If this non consummation and daily conflicts continue, I might stop watching it on TV.

I understand.Many are feeling the same way.

I bother about TRPs because they determine the success of the show,

The promotion is good content is good,it has one of the top male stars of TV as hero. Still...

I'm not sure why it does not increase

Yes TRP is concerned with only Indian audience.

The TRP stays at 0.6 .

I too think this a lot of times. Having followed other shows TRP rise and fall closely, I came to some conclusions. I binge watched nearly 140 episodes in a span of week just post DevKiDeewangi track. After watching the show I was pretty shocked and disappointed with the viewership response of the show.
1. Being a Sony show. Sony had its league once upon a time. But it has farely changed now. People keep track of upcoming shows in other channel but Sony isn't in the frequency list of people. Here I'm talking about the section which gives out TV TRPs. Track of Sony shows are pretty much different from the other channels and its evident on facevalue of the show. Majority of TV audience don't sink in it.
2. Since we are talking about TRPs we have to take in the fact that KRP is widely popular online. Whereas on cable network it had a different story to tell. Why so? Digitisation. Its a very important point when we talk about TRP these days. KRP marks an audience, the section which likes light hearted show more. And with digital platform being so seamless people don't wish to take out a specific time out of their schedule to watch a show. And hence online views of the show are sky rocketing. Previously if you missed a show it was never so easily accessible. So people used to watch it on TV and thereby effecting TRPs. Internet is easily available on every hands now and hence people bifurcate their time accordingly. Previously. You miss an episode. You completely miss it. So the show isn't completely a failure in terms of TRPs and appealing people. It does. Only not the general section.
3. Lack of intimacy and YES Drama. Much to popular opinion these days KRP is still not a trendy Saas Bahu saga. Watch any other show and one can easily make out the difference. KRP is intelligent storytelling and its not in the face. Saas has her issues but she is not having constant plan monologues of putting or dramatic approach in shooting of scenes. You understand the issues when you look closely into the issue. Lack of out and out intimacy is a huge matter. By rulebook having a lovestory and lots of intimate scenes gives a huge exposure. Its a hit formula. This show has this mesmerising couple with excellent chemistry. But lack of scenes where its utilised. Specially in the first days of the show. DevAkshi scenes were shockingly very less for a lead couple. They didnt encash on this great product. For how long will people suck up to the platonic romance. Except people who like the show a lot. People will eventually give a pass. Platonic and realistic romance never works with TRP in the long run.
4. Subtlely. KRP is very subtle. Generally say TV TRP audience expect something different at the end of the day when they switch on the TV. Drama Masala some good out and out romance, haybechari women cutting through the struggles. Basically a respite from the daily chores and problems. And KRP doesn't fits that generic bill.
5. The initial promos are taken too much by heart here. They just state the outline of the show I feel. And its still very much around that.
6. Every show has its up and downs. And any show even Saath Nibhana Saathiyaa will have excellent first 6 months or 100 episodes. Same goes for KRP. Expecting it to give the same show till the end is foolishness and its not gonna happen. Makers have a track written initially which they work out for sometime after that TRP influence comes in and the improvisation, which rarely has done shows any good. Still IMO KRP manages to put up a pretty good job according to its level. If not like before. Its still a good one.
7. Prenup , infertility are all recurring tracks which will unfold again later I feel. So can't say they didn't meet up the expectations and were done half baked.
So all in all KRKAB is not a failure in terms of appeal IMO. It has its problems yet it fares above any saga on TV at present in overall quality. It does its job of entertaining a good section. Only it targets a particular taste of people and farely reaches it. Puts up a subtle show with a great cast.
