It is now becoming clear that online followers and fans just increase ego and give false sense of entitlement and mean nothing in real world

Now look at mohit Sanaya now despite having huge fan following ended up in bottom 2

It means real viewers who watch on tv did not appreciate them much

I also feel it is wrong to look at Instagram followers as some measurement of popularity

Because many of followers are bought by digital agencies

And bots are used to increase likes on pics


Anyone in India might be aware about infamous case of former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok gehlot having followers from turkey

Hahs

And yes of none of supposedly popular Jodis have been able to bring in viewer

True, online popularity is pretty much a delusion most fandoms carry for the sake of their own ego massage.

Fandoms online think that by having various trends , harassing people who speak against their favs is a show of fanbase strength but its actually not since at the end of it, its all manipulated through paid ids multiple fake ids etc.

To win a reality show on popularity basis you should have a hit char that has become a trp household name which most trp audiencme identify with( for eg Monaya have no such trp hit char to their credit in recent times while Deepika played the hit Simar and DT is playing Ishita etc.) online fandom manipulation cannot help in such cases!

Monaya dont have a online fan following for your kind information
They have a offline fan following
Sanaya is only on instagram n is not at all a daily user she post rarely n interacts rarely
Mohit is on twitter n instagram n he too posts n interacts rarely
Also monaya coming in bottom 2 is nothing to do with fan following
From beginning we can see that the channel is favouring a jodi n wants them to win
Its quite obvious they r given more screen space their onscreen n offscreen families r called every week

well

if they are popular offline why arent they getting votes

that conspiracy theory is hilarious

when fav dont get results then blame it on channel and bias

even i can say they got high marks due to bias ad not their performance

Well i guess u dont watch a lot of reality tv thats why u have no knowledge about "conspiracy theories"
The channel favours someone they want to see as winner and thats true n all channels do that. They make them win who can work for them in future.
U can say anything about a performance its ur pov but the point is that monaya got 30, n 50% is scores right? So technically they had 50% with them this week already. They get votes every week they were never in bottom 2 even when mohit forgot n they were the lowest scorer
N the recent eg of bigg boss whr a commoner won in front of celeb who had the highest fan following online wld tell u about "conpiracy theory"
U can say monaya deserved less marks thats ur pov but the point is they got 30

Bold : golden words..this cyber harassment by teenage fans makes me hate the actors though they are not actually at fault..

@TM ONLY
Well u have seen most of us saying that majority of us can't vote? Remember we had this conversation before?
TM I know these topics r just popcorn for u and u r here to just have fun and go(u r an equal opportunity basher lol so I like u) So I don't know if even bothering to say this is of any use. Bt I'll still say it.

Sanaya has a reasonably small following inside India. And that is about 10% or less of her following u see online. So how the hell r her fans supposed to help with this when they r not allowed to vote? We can't exactly book a flight/get Visa and go to India and buy the sims and vote

Her existing fans CANNOT VOTE! Not that she doesn't have fans to vote for her and her husband.
There is a vast difference btw the two.

So take the format of the show for consideration when making sweeping assumptions.

@the chance pe dance - lol at least she has some online unlike someone else 😆
