It's a brilliant and bold concept in television. It's trp have been really good since it launched. But I don't see any articles, interviews, or segments online. SBS and other news channels don't give any segment. Even IF ignores this show. It is only colors which is promoting the show. However online the show is so much ignored. Why is it so?
All other average shows get quite a healthy promotion online. It's just the fans doing it for shakti though.

There r regular segments on SBAS and SBB .. so I cant say they r ignoring Shakti .. its just that most segments r not posted here on IF as HaYa fans r mostly active on twitter ..

And here forum is inactive bec most Shakti fans prefer being active on twitter where they can tag the CVs and directly give feedback . if u chk twitter , u will find HaYa fans in huge numbers there ..

IF mostly give articles for shows that r active here on their chaskameter ranking .. and in that rank its mostly mills and boons shows which r on top .. Shakti has a different concept , so it dont enjoy that kind of online popularity ..

But Shakti scores where it matters the most .. that is trp viewers ..

You're right. It's very much ignored. Main reason is that those shows with average trp you mentioned that gets media attention are all romance / jodi based shows. But shakti is in the drama genre. Its drama based show not jodi based.And rarely drama genre shows have got efficient attention other than naagin. Naagin was supernatural so it was an exemption.

Also the cvs are ruining the plot. They're trying to make it a saas bahu/ other love story type show. Drifting from the main plot of how a kinner makes a place for herself in the society with the help of her husband n sister. Too much of negativity. The mom son, son father relationship doesn't feel like that. It simply feels they're sworn enemies and neither of the three tries hard to amend it.
And in last track they made it look like the FL never understood the depth of her husband's love getting influenced by her mother in law. That ruined the image they had created from the beginning. The story still stays at square one. There is no improvement in the FLs character.

All these are disadvantages but the media is hiding them. If they have to say something about this show then they have to blame the cvs. But they are keeping away from doing so as this is a bold topic n cannot point out such flaws so soon on a show that is dealing with such a topic.so the only way to not criticise is ignoring. Until the cvs get back to the original story line this will continue

I would disagree with u on this. Those shows who have topped in the chaska meter charts are even more active on Twitter than shakti fans currently. Well being included in the top list of IF not only matters to IF but also shows online fans' s interest. Sbb sbas segs come out for all shows popular/ non popular on tv.
Agree shakti fans r more active on Twitter but have you checked this, most of them are foreign viewers who comment n tweet for shakti. They're mostly foreign fans of vivian Dsena who are now promoting this show. Fans tweeting for shakti in India are currently vdians n rdians. Neutral viewers watch it but doesn't much show a craze to come up n tweet/comment/post which is there for the other shows.
Just trp doesn't define a shw's popularity. You must've noticed how the krpkab fans protest caught media attention within few hours n even they started standing up for them. If u ask them they'll say krpkab has a bigger fandom than shakti. Its because theyre jodi based shws n jodi based shws have more hardcore followers. Here it is drama based so fans dsnt show much interest in discussion it in the forum.

Forums are made for discussions. And forums are there so that a show n characters will be remembered evn after It goes offair. Discussion brings the show more close to us. When discussions are less for an online show, it means ppl are not anxious about whats coming up. They just go with the flow. Whatever comes up, let it come. And such shows normally are not under the yearned for category. When such a show goes offair ppl won't mind. Ok it's going offair, let it go. For exmpl ssk. Nobody cares whether it stays or it doesn't. So it is something to worry if forum discussion are less wen a shw is onair.

You might say ppl are discussing through twitter. But all we see in twitter is fans asking for more romance, less preeto surbhi, n leads offscreen pics or otherwise praising the actors. These cant be considered as important discussions . I suggest u tell fans to take serious measures to make the forum active

It's a business n it's all about earning money which makers will earn when the show will get trps n then only the show will run. It doesn't matter how many articles/segments are coming or what is IF ranking or how many fans it has or how many are shouting when it is on air or how many will shout when it will go off air.

Anyway , promotion r needed to make a show hit, why that show will need promotion which is already superhit. Shakti is getting decent trps since it has started. N the day it's actual concept got revealed , entire industry including critics n media had appreciated the guts of makers n actors for taking up this bold n new concept. These r enough to prove this show's popularity.

I find the direction of the show very amateur. The scenes and camera work is not up to the mark. Half cooked scenes are done away and boring scenes are dragged.

And what is the result online fans get by all the petitions and keeping forum active??
This ??

Since u dragged krpkab into discussion ..so posted above link ..no producer or channel cares what online fans want or which forum is active on IF unless they get result in form of trps or else makers will blame same online fans fr a show going off air 😆

I would rather prefer show hving a proper run of few yrs and going off air with high trps than a show going off air with low trps and fans making petitions only to get blame fm makers in return ..

Agree. Poor direction and execution. It has been like that for a long time.

Television industry is all about profit and gains.
Shows through which producers and channel are earning money is considered popular and successful.

India forums is mostly populated by youngsters ,they like to watch love-hate story based shows ,Most of the posts are based on jodi's love- hate discussions and there's nothing else for them to talk about.
How many people in one forum /twitter/instagram can be .let's say about 500 or to the max 1000 ? They do not define popularity in any way.
Trp based audience are from all age groups, and probably more genuine too.
Sample size taken for trp is also much higher than few online fan groups.

Im one of those fans who are never active on forum twitter etc , but have been following shakti .Im eager to know what will happen next .If some are not discussing the show online does not mean they dont like it.
What's the use of discussions only? If you like a show give it good trp which matters the most
Though the love-hate stories have more online fans, but high rated shows too have good amount of online fans
I like such Tv shows which have a strong plot along with a good love story . Not a fan of jodi based shows with no proper storyline.
Shakti has a strong plot and has a very good amount of love story too. I don't have any problems with anything

I can see segments from SBS, SBAS which is enough for the promotion. The show has been praised in the media too and has enough fan following online . Rest like Jyoti said, I prefer shows having a long life with good trp rather than only having few fans online with low trp.
