When it comes to TRPs online audience doesn't matter - yes. Social media followers are meant to be used for data collection for other media houses. Let's say for example, tomorrow if tellychakkar or pinkvilla or bollywood hungama comes up with their award show, Ayesha may get nominated for best actress because Mannat is the number 1 show on colors channel, and there has to be one representative of each channel, not because she deserves it. She won't win because she is pitted against Star Plus actresses whose personal and show have a better presence on social media
Sharain is not shoved in our faces because of social media; Sharain or third angles are always given prominence because, with their inclusion, a lot of avenues open up for conflicts. A second woman is always a sore point, but people also kinda want to watch what she does. The channel always goes by data aspects. If Sharain's parts are getting good numbers, why should she be replaced just because people don't like her? Even if people don't like her, they are still watching her. Your click has more weightage that what you feel. At the end of the month, in your monthly performance dashboard, only numbers count, not feelings.
Mona ka replacement has nothing to do with social media.
Ayesha and Adnan also have bots as followers, but we don't know whether it is intentional or bought. It could be either. Every celeb does that, and it is openly known.
