1) good penetration of a channel - which sony doesnt have at the get do. the reason why trp of all of its show is low.
2) promotions of major tracks. since you know about the costs you should also know that there is a reason why maha episodes and sangams happen. the cost even more than normal show shooting but they give bigger trps. when there is no buzz around major tracks, audience is always going to be drawn to the ones that have that buzz
3) trp comes from loyal audience. - unfortunately for RLHN it was in a slot with big competition from shows that already had loyal viewership. and this viewers watched their show on TV and this show on yodesi and other sites - which meant no benefit from TRP even online because they didnt watch in on sony liv even though they did like the show.
these are reasons outside the control of PH and actors that impact trp. of course trps are also dependent on story line, strong buildup of tracks, stronger climax of the tracks which is in the hands of the creatives.
finally come the actors, whose contribution is in bringing some of their fans as audience. and increase that audience. and unless you are in the league of top 10 TV actors the likes of drasti, vivian, barun, etc the fan population that you bring is really not enough to keep the show alive no matter which other actor you are taking about. in fact even these actors are finding it difficult to keep the show alive as they could previously. none of the actors in RLHN including tejaswi who is a good actress fall in this top 10 region. so blaming them for it is a bit childish and vindictive.
