Haa those are called bar-o-meters.

A small, representative set of homes has bar-o-meters attached to their TVs. These meters detect which channel/show was on. The system counts viewing minute by minute. if you watched at least about half a minute, that minute is counted. Then it estimates what that viewing would look like for the entire target audience.

So, TRP 1.2 roughly means that on average, about 1.2% of the target audience was watching that show at any given minute.

This is a gist!

I think having them in specific homes is the disadvantage is India. In US every home with Internet connectivity to receivers for satellite subscription or OTT subscription, viewership data is gathered realtime and shared with companies like Nelson for TRP calculations.

The population is much larger and is dynamic aswell since the data shared with Neilson is random sampling to pull x number of account information.

Nielson is big in Mumbai too

Oh I didn't know Nelson is used in India. Wonder why with technology they cant use every household and do random sampling instead of fixed households which could be easily manipulated.

A weird theory just crossed my mind. The makers may have deliberately destroyed Manvik so that they can rise again as a stronger unit. This time, to bind them for a lifetime, they have a child who is symbol of their love. Especially for Vik, this journey would be about overcoming his flaws and rebuilding trust in his relationships. As Ronnie said two episodes ago, only when you have a child you truly understand the pain. Post-leap, Vik will experience this pain himself while fighting for acceptance of his own child, of Rotu, and of Mannat. If the update about Malla having a baby turns out to be true, it will be the turning point for her downfall. She will claim the baby as her own, while in reality it belongs to someone else. It’s unclear how the makers will execute this whether through some family deal or by involving ARS’s so-called lover uncle, Ravinder, in kidnapping a random baby from the hospital. ARS won’t be around to protect her daughter. A similar thing happened with Neetu. No matter how vile she was throughout, the fear of Vik discovering the truth about his identity always kept her in check. When Malla’s child truth comes out, Vik may also have to face consequences, especially if he is legally tied to her and the baby is abducted from the hospital. Ronnie supported Neetu in getting the baby, just as ARS is doing now, and this will surely backfire in the long run. Though their motives are different, the makers seem to be drawing a contrast here. Looking at Neetu’s condition now, one can predict that Malla will suffer the same mental trauma. Aish’s constant pressure will eventually destroy Malla, suffocating her in this relationship. Even Mannat is absent for a long time, it still won’t push Vik towards her.

Yes, I have always wondered, why can't they increase the number of households year on year, at least.

I like the positive spin you have put on it.

Our problem is we have been watching the show with pre-conceived ideas. The hints that were there we found ways to explain them away because we wanted Manvik together and believed love would conquer it all

I think you are right about the complete destruction.

I think Malla was also meant to get Vikrant as Aish said it in the beginning that even she can change fate and she has bent the fate since vamps will get a complete win. She intended Vikrant for Malla and Malla will get Vikrant.

Malla though is not built like Aish. To Aish love does not matter, only wealth. I don't think Malla will be able to live in the emotional vacuum for a lifetime like Aish was able to live it with Gagan. Maybe she has a little bit of Gagan in her. Mannat re-entry will then come with it's own problems for her.

We are giving too much grace to malla, that character doesnt have much depth now. Her only issue is she shouldn't lose to mannat, thats it. Her character doesnt have an individual standing, she is an extension to ars, her pawn.

Thats why i feel post leap they will bring mannat and ars on par, as mothers. Just like how ars did and will do anything for her child malla, mannat will also go any length for her child dua. The difference will be, ars and malla both have followed nasty ways, they will get the karma for that, by mannat only.

About Vikrant, i think he will play an integral part in it. Post leap, he will try to mend his family and when he starts doing that, he will start cutting himself off from vamps camp. That is enough to set them on fire. His efforts to get his family back will keep the leap in motion.

Even as all his brain cells get shaved off he is still a most prized possession
