Frankly I have never understood this TRP game thing and honestly I find it absurd.
Because some shows are sooo good and still they never make it on the TRPs so called list.
And there are other shows; the same old regressive bullshit and these shows are top runners on the TRPs list.
At the end of the day , there is almost nothing left to watch especially for those who are not interested in the same bullcrap of multiple marriages, Extra Marital Affairs, 2 sisters after one guy, 2 boys after 1 girl etc......
I had always thought that TRPs are just a measurement to judge the popularity of a show and to improve , but now they have made a business out of it .
Some shows have such low TRPs , still they get promoted by Channel, others do way better and never get any promo........so even Channels are being partial.
Look at our show TSBTSP...........no promotion, nothing. Instead every week they suffer 1 episode less due to some idiotic Maha episode every week
And others are being promoted constantly, despite low TRPs
So everything is a money making business these days. There have been good shows on Indian Television, very progressive, but due to rejection from audience, Channel started interfering in storyline and ultimately show had to go off air
