It’s definitely going off-air, I’m so sure. I said it when the new gen was introduced — they might stretch it to 9 months like Maati, but nope, they crashed hard in trps real quick. Some shows are 100% getting axed — Pocket Mein Asmaan, Rab Rakha — everybody knows that. SP’s having meetings and planning a big revamp. So, no, they’re not going to act like “oh these two shows going off-air” this is our big news. We already know that. 😒 The real “big news” has to be something else — they’re tightening things with other shows too, replaced an fl , probably jhanak going for child leap. But people are still stuck guessing what this “big” news might be.🙂
Remember when Shahi replaced Shehzada and Prats before last ipl? Everyone online was like “we’re boycotting Rishta.” nd you me nd some others already said trp audience doesn’t care. They’ll adjust, and they DID. Sad truth is, thanks to dkp , this trend of replacing actors overnight started — actors don’t even have job security now. If trp drops, they get kicked, I get it's sucks for them it's really bad they put hard work.
And I also get it, that online fans get attached to characters, but at the end of the day — itv is a business. This is SP’s money, not yours. They’ll do whatever brings them profit. And the makers will follow the same path. If makers started listening only to online fans and showed exactly what they want, their shows would flop in 5 months. Can online viewers guarantee they’ll give good trps, ad revenue or help launch new shows on channels? No. Makers gotta earn too — that’s how they pay actors.
I don’t get it when people say, “why did this itv actor choose such a script , should’ve picked something better ,why hitesh choosing this etch etc.” Like bro, in today’s cut-throat industry, actors will take what they get. It’s their livelihood. Online fans are too emotional sometimes — like “I’m boycotting this!” but the makers won’t care if you’re not giving them trps. The only day Sitara will panic is when all the trp aunties start rejecting their content. Until then, online fans can scream “boycott” all they want, it won’t change a thing.
