A reason for the low Trps.

People are complaining about the TRP of Zindagi being too low but I can give you 5 reason why.
1. First time - Not many people in India have seen HUMSAFAR , Zgh. People are used to long running 30 minute 5 day soaps not like Zindagi , short running , 1 hour , 7 days. And yes people in India mostly have not seen them so this is sort of unusual due to the way Zindagi has them and it will take time for people to get used to Pakistani dramas.

2. Its not a Indian soap😕 - Before Hum , Ary , and Geo came to our house in America we would watch Indian soaps with noise , glamour , and 1000 episodes. Dill Mill Gaye , MJHT , KKUSUM , Kyunki saas , kahani ghar ghar ki , Kumkum , Kaisa yeh pyar hai , vidai to name just a few ( I saw way more than that before Hum) Once my mom tuned into Humsafar and Maat , I felt weird watching no glamour , once a week , and zero effects and no occasional comedy. I sort of got used to it once Humsafar episode 5 was on. But still I watch Qubool , Kumkum Bhagya , Beintehaa , Yeh Hai Mohabate , Gustakh Dil , Paakhi to keep the glamour and everything in my system 😛 and this is the case with most! People are used to noise glamour and a lot of episodes. So not many want to tune in to this stuff.

3. Why is it paid??? - This channel is launching with new comtent and needs to be FTA so people can see it and when it turns pair 2 mon later people will call Tata or dish to tell them I want to get Zee Zindagi.

4. Some are Anti Pakistan - Some people hate Pakistan. dramas , people , everything and we do have many. So that also makes Zindagi lose out on Trp.

Please do not curse me if you dont like this
It is my opinion
Please tell yours too

I think Zindgi channel came with fresh air which started with four shows . were more real in life with realistic approach . And has changed the mindset of people also . Hindi shows goes on and on with crap and problem is people here are addicted to channels . agree with your 4th point to some extent . and if Zindgi wants this channel to be popular then should not be paid one . Let people watch the quality and come out in real world .

yes you have some valid points
Zindagi started 2 months back so still very new & it will take some time because all other channels took years & established
about the glamour thing Zindagi said they will air Turkish shows too &
i bet once our Turkish show starts the trps will boostup more
my friends told me Turkish dramas are very popular in Pakistan & i thing same will happen in India
but myself being a turk doesn't watch much turkish dramas because of the west influence i prefer egyptian shows they are better but truly speaking i found Pakistani shows much real to life

I am seriously amazed at the bad response!
I mean I do get the cinematography appearing bland to some people. They can stay with the shows they have been watching till now, but what's with hating such good pieces of art because its Pakistani??
If there was so much problem with Paki art then you shouldn't have tuned in to FIFA world cup at the first place since all the balls used there were made in Sialkot, Pakistan. OK??
I am an Indian and not a traitor, but honestly, I was so sick of the ultra-loud stuff on Indian shows that these shows were a breath of fresh air! Now I have something to tune in to when I come back home after a hard day!

Liking something from other countries does not make you traitor , we watch American shows , English ones and that a;so because of no nonsense. I liked Zindgi ,s all shows which were from real world not over the top . Stories are strong . Yes Kaash main teri beti...is somewhat slow but still is the story of real world where poverty makes people do what Julekha did and with that showed her pain . But still is simple story without any tam-jham . Why do we forget that before 47 we were the one country thats why we have same traditions , same culture and values and same change came in both countries with tome . Hatred never solves any thing and just think common people are not bothered about this politics which just threw away the sacrifices of the too young people who got us freedom with their lives , out of the window . now its upon us common people from both sides to appreciate what is good . And after watching ZGH , i am not interested in hindi shows . Is this make me less patriotic? No because enough of nonsense shows where makers just goes on with turns and twists with never ending story . Zindgi channel has to be non paid channel so can it reach more people and can appreciate the stories told so simply and about them .

I am now watching few of Pak shows which were recomended to me and are brilliant where story is intact and actors are wonderful where you can feel their pain .

i'm first time watching Pak shows though my friends always recommended me to watch but i was lazy & Jodha Akbar is also the first Indian serial i watched but not now because historical story is ruined
i usually watch selective egyptian & turkish shows but now a days i'm much in to Pakistani shows because they are close to reality ⭐️👏
