there are two ways to look at it...this cud be a strategy to promote curiosity amongst the viewers....keep them hooked.....on the other hand it cud also be a ploy to reduce trp lessen the popularity of the show....sabotage...it to get some excuse to end it or the most unlikely reason cud be that they dont know how to proceed with the track and they are confused.....or may be they want us to age before our time worrying about mishal

Yeah, I think that is it 😆

To promote curiosity...they don't necessarily have to give away their story, but there's other ways to keep the show in the news too, right? They can still get their cast on to those afternoon shows and adhere by the saying that out of sight will eventually mean out of mind. The loyal viewers will follow the show regardless...but even to evoke curiosity, the casual viewer must be tipped off and made to realize that there is something tense happening in the show! 😆

Sabotaging the show...it's getting them high TRPs, taking the channel up to even the 2nd spot in Top Ten Rankings last week. Even they wouldn't smother their golden goose like this 😆😳

Not knowing the future story yet and being confused...I would like to think and believe that they do. Because days before the special episode, none of us could have ever predicted what would really end up happening, but to plan, plus shoot what did happened in the special episode and after that, they must have known about the upcoming story at least a week and a half earlier. So I think they know what they are doing...or at least hope so 😕😆 A long time back itself many of us were speculating that they must know the date of the DN reunion already, up to which they are working towards...so that would hold true even more so now, I would think. Also, they might have something, however small, planned for tomorrow...maybe? 🤔 Colors' FB page certainly made it sound like that.

So in conclusion, yeah I am still at a loss for the reason behind this inactivity 😆 I used to think Sony was really bad at promotions...but now Colors is starting to give me the same, dense vibes of not knowing how to market one's own product properly.

thats what i am saying..see no offence but i am not a big fan of geet..just a passive viewer but the kind of sesationalising tactics they use to market their show is really thought worthy...that forum is seriously buzzing but it doesn't really do good TRP wise as LTL does...TAM has only SP,Zee,colors shows...but still Dill mill gaye, MJHT,PKEK and geet these all use the USB of their leads chemistry to the full..why do colors fail at that...recently caught a promo of KMH2...it was awesome..it little to daring i think...but then they show so much more on films these days...i know Tasha love is more of emotion,understanding,spiritual...etc etc...but guys they are married,in love how long can they drag this spiritual connection...i am not saying that show us a SR just for sensationalizing the show...no..we don't need sleaze feast....but atleast show them together in the dream sequences...they have shown around 3-4 songs in the past 2 weeks...we are jeering that how come dutta is having FB's of Nakku's dreams...but the fact is when they want to show dutta dreaming of nakku..they don't have any romantic scene accept those in those 2 dream sequences..is liye gissa pitaa record chala rahe hai...it would have been so nice if they had shot a scene for Dutta's dream like amber pe with fair nakku...it would have made more sense..plus our VMers would have got some new scenes for VM...we would have been thrilled so alag....it was apt that dutta was dreaming of hugging and holding his wife...but that deserved a fresh shot...

the irony is that even kala got a fresh shot od DN in her dream...bechara D uske dream ke liye wahi second hand dream scenes...height of injustice..

Star One caters to a certain kind of audience. Hence their promotion tactics. Colors caters to a different audience primarily rural and hence right now Phulwa is the apple of their eye. LTL was never catering to the rural audience and perhaps thats why it was always ignored from the start.
Coming to KMH2 promo nom but I found it rather sleazy. But each to his own! BT keeps using such cheap tactics.
But yes I agree...they MUST shoot a few dream sequences of Dutta and Naku exclusively for Dutta...for now and for future use!

@Fatty: If its any consolation there were NO promotions before the first wedding till it was actually shot. The promos started only a day or two before. Till then no one knew what would happen except that Dutta and Naku would get married. Something similar happenned during the FR. This seems to be another such phase.

Honestly speaking, the Geet/SO type of shows waali "promotions" is the last thing I want to see with LTL....they only know how to promote "hawtness" and there is such a thing as over-exposure of lame crap....I'm more than sick of having to tolerate it on the TV scene in general. LTL is a different show....the audience for it is different.....the promotions and the over hyperness of the forums can't be compared.


But yes, otherwise....most deffo they have slacked off on LTL promotions off-late.....they promoted the special epi a bit but nothing since....no behind the scenes stuff, nothing....we are all just constantly left wondering/hanging on thinking IS this the next big high point? The show does seem to have picked up since the special epi but no one seems to be interested in giving us even a little clue about the future of the story.....the silence about everything is seriously astonishing after a point.

But then this is LTL....there isn't anything conventional about this show....or it's promotion I guess😆....I just can't peg it....if I start to think the show is losing it....it surprises me....so many times.....now if I start to wonder what the reason behind lack of promotions is....then also I think I'll just end up confusing myself.....there are no real solid reasons....guess we have to just take whatever they are giving us and hope this is all leading to something....most times it has, given the show's past history😆

yeah..i agree that sleazy scenes like they use in BT or other shows is not LTL style...but remember nakku's first dutta dream..they were so sweetly explosive in a naive sort of way..what intenseness and beauty...why are they not shooting something like that...i am not saying show her in a black sarong and running around in a shack with him following..just show them together with him looking at her wid that love that was there after anna's den track...maybe some holding hands whatever...except using the same old two three clips...it's irritating even though lagan lagi song seq and jane kya baat hai sequence is my all time fav scene in LTL..but if i want to watch it i'll YT it..give us some new tasha scenes...plz pzl plz...

Can't help but wonder if the special episode of last week and one measly promo was like lollipop to keep the kids from throwing tantrums? Since then we haven't have a single promo, right? This is very offending to our sensibilities...Why do they keep sidetracking this show?

Am i jumping guns here? Were there any promos this weekend? Any SBS,SSB etc update? its valentine's day tomorrow...kuch special nahi dekhya for Tasha. LTL is a love story right?

Guyz there is something lacking badly..just saw a post in Geet forum where they had posted some off screen pics of the lead in their dressing room..it was liked by more than 210 members!!!!....we have never had that in this forum...and for the past few months we are all just protesting to save our show...the whole fun of the show is lost in these rumors...

that too now, when we are having one of the most interesting tracks,...i mean Kala the ultimate vamp of the show from the very time Dutta had entered is about to be defaced in front of him..and we can't even enjoy the showdown inspite of awesome acting on MR,MV,AG,VR and SC part...they are all doing a great job. even the actor as chaskar is good in his part...and we can't even enjoy it all in happy mood...

Plz colors wake up before its too late and the broth is spoilt...totally.

Brilliant post, Shilpita. Thank you. These are my exact thoughts. No promos, no SBS, or any other updates on the show. No special Valentine's thing for Tasha - and then it's been days and there's still no press release or announcement from Colors regarding Mishal's leaving rumors.
What the hell is going on at the PH? What's cooking?
I find this demeanour of Colors' to be disrespectful and carelessness for the viewer's emotions. It's verging on being absolutely ludicrous. I don't know whether to laugh or cry anymore. What's the point in keeping us waiting and stressing?
Publicity? LTL doesn't need publicity. It needs promos and Mishal. That's all it needs.
