If the audience finds a character engaging, they’ll continue watching even if the actor portraying them isn’t particularly strong. A case in point is the Anjali Awasthi show.I mean come on, HC has one of the biggest and and a very loyal fan base in ITV, but even he couldn’t keep Rishta from wobbling. TRPs rose, dipped, rose again — like any other show. Star power isn’t a safety net.
It’s not like Rupali Ganguly suddenly forgot how to act. She’s been consistently above average, same old bechari dukhyari “quasi-empowered” orat . But Anupamaa still went through a rough patch, it has seen 1.8 ( I’m not too sure if it went below this ) despite once hitting a whopping 4.1 TRP several times. Since COVID, no show has crossed 2.6 — and nowadays, if a show hits 2, they throw a party. That’s how low the bar has shifted.
Big-name actors with massive fan followings have all seen their shows dip in ratings. So really, actors don’t bring much to the table if the character or storyline isn’t working. Bhavika isn’t going to pull a miracle if Savi’s return doesn’t land. Period.
And let’s be real — unless they manage to rope in Shah Rukh Khan (which, lol, good luck with that), no ITV show is going to stay on top forever. Even if SRK did show up, viewers would still switch the channel if the content’s dull. People aren’t stuck with one show anymore — we’re in the swipe-left era. Don’t like it? Flip the channel and move on. No drama required.
So yeah — whether Savi can save this sinking ship? That’s for the time, audience and TRPs to decide. Until then, all bets are off.
*** this is especially for people who think one actor can make or break a show. Ganjophiles better serve popcorn-worthy drama — or they might as well start prepping for the off-air announcement.
Yeh hi toh baat hai. Ghum ka central point sai ka character aur chawan family ke dynamics the jo audience enjoy karti thi.
Aaj Ayesha Singh ke new show ko dekh lo nobody cares. Same with neil bhatt.
It was virat and sai character that audience like.
Jab fans ko yeh samaj aa jayega ki actors nahi story aur actors se audience engage hoti hai. Phir yeh fanwar hi nahi hogi.
I remember people I this forum used to say Ayesha Singh must leave ghum and she will get better work . Look today she is an actress of flop show jo koi nahi dekhta.
