It’s a misconception that television shows are for everyone. While everyone can watch it, it is only for a select audience who have bar-o-meters installed at home. If that audience watches your show, you don’t have to worry about everyone else.
That audience is different from your online audience. That’s exactly why crap shows like Anupamaa, jungle Laxmi and etc are doing so well.
The topics that you have mentioned - mental health, gender equality, LGBTQ+ are topics which your rural audience don’t really connect to. So why would any channel or PH waste their time or money backing it. Production costs bhi recover nahi hoga. Episodes chalayenge kaise?
Nutty ji it's mostly how the tv reached to small section rather rural section of society's spread is the key of television viewership..
Before 2000 tv was not that much common in rural areas and backward areas of India.. so storytelling is appealing to target upper class society and middle class and their problems now it's reached categories to rural based and semi urban based viewers whereas urban based people now prefer ott content or watch tv shows on ott apps rather than on tv...
So thought we criticize called them cringe, toxicity some sections audience consumed this content and channels are targeting that audiences now ....
While sp, Colors, zee, Dangal are more popular in semi urban and other areas sony n Sony sab cater to urban population...
So yeah mental health, lbgtq+, gender equality are mostly discussed and focused in urban areas but still today also in rural areas specially hindi speaking States and some other regions patriarchal mindset is their..
And women also don't get that deserved respect and husband is god concept their though it's coming now somewhere 10% end but 90%audiences faces theses concepts so that's why shows like anupmaa, manga laxmi, yrkkh, kyunki, kasuatii, khahani ghar ki recently kkb s4 which now getting trp boaster after pranali doing tandav for her forcefully husband jaan etc. get popularity and people consumed these old wine new bottles concept and channels has every right to look for profits rather more focused on contents because it's given them in sliver platter to them by us...
