Guys what’s happening? Just read yesterday night ki KHKT is going off air! Agar off air jaana hi tha I wish this wedding track hadn’t happened at all. They could have focused on Ronakshi courtship period and ended it on a high note with their wedding. At least we fans would have lovely memories of this show 😭 screwed it beyond repair and now they are ending it on a premature note? Y? Not even a year and it’s unfair given that crappier shows without TRPs have run for longer than this. Not every show can become a no. 1 TRP show. Will that mean u axe it like this? YHM was faring badly in its last phase for a year almost. Supernatural shows on SP that aired on weekends didn do good either. So y this show? I am feeling so bad for the cast and crew who put in so much efforts. After a long run in ITV, KVG had got a role that gave him a good exposure and popularity. And so many newcomers who have potential. This reminds me of BP, a show which I loved and which met the same fate. The leads got separated on a bitter note (unlike Rohit, Adi misunderstands Zoya and they part ways), their characters have changed post the leap, and after a couple of days on the last episode they reunite for good. Another similarity is Adiya too wouldn’t have consummated their marriage before separation and same with Ronakshi. While Adi accuses Zoya of infidelity for real, Rohit does it to protect Sona. And both these shows left the fans broken hearted. Anything above 1.6 is good na? Then y r the makers ending it?
StarPlus has different expectations of TRP depending upon time slot. Shows like YHM and Nazar air at late night slot and their TRPs were good according to their slots. That is why those shows are still running. YHM got a spin off (since show reached a logical end) and Nazar is getting a second season.
On the other hand, KHKT is prime time property. When the show just before KHKT and just after it are getting 2.3ish TRP, of course they’d expect KHKT to get similar TRPs if not to the extent of KKB.
Currently YJHJK gets 2.3 at 8:30, KHKT 1.8 at 9 and YRKKH 2.5 at 9:30
Clearly they can do better at 9pm.
About content, just like every other ITV show, KHKT started with a lot of promise but alas it has gone down the drain for TRP sake.
Let’s see if StarPlus gives one last chance. Anyway they have ruined the show. They can bring a lot more drama and stay afloat if ratings increase.
And guys, StarPlus will care to hoots about your calls, emails and trends. TRP is the only thing it understands. So unless the ratings increase in the coming weeks, it will not change its decision
