I would tell you all now where any new serials stands when it starts on SAB TV. This channel has one of the lowest TRP's among all the channels. Even SUN TV and Gemini (regional Channels) have high TRP's than SAB. Here's the current standing of the channel. I got it from the guy's who actually calculate the TRP's for the Prasaar Bharati.
Channel | Average TVR | Avg. channel share |
Star Plus | 6 | 61.2 |
Sony Ent. | 3.27 | 23.2 |
Zee TV | 3.13 | 11.5 |
Sahara One | 0.28 | 2.9 |
SAB TV | 0.12 | 1.3 |
Now see where SAB TV stands today.
If you all say Rajeev's fans can get the TRP's high then my question is to all these fans. How many of you did get the TRP of Time Bomb high. He got adulations for his role in TB but what about the serial. The TRP of the serial started with 2.34 but in the last days it ended at below 2. So what happened to those fans then....
Remember it is not just fans who make a serial hit. It needs other viewers too. And you won't get those viewers on SAB TV. They will not watch it. On top of it the channel is not available to most of the cities. The low TRP's being shown is partly due to that reason.
If today I am saying against Rajeev it is because I love him and want to see him really grow into a big star. But this particular decision will do nothing but destroy his carreer. He may get an award for good actor or maybe good comedian but will that help him to make the project a hit. NO... Did we all wait for such a long time just to see Rajeev being turned into a mere SAB TV actor.... Yes thats exactly what everyone (in the industry) says when someone does a project on that channel.
And I am afraid to say..... Already it is being said in the TV industry. The few people whom I talked to yesterday had the same thing to say. WHY SAB TV Actor? Why then wait for so long? And mind my words this will come out in the media too very soon. Would you all like listening to all those comments against Rajeev? Atleast I won't like it. It will hurt but then it will be the truth. And just think....... Who is going to have the last laugh...... đĄ
