"6.3 " that was the Television rating point (TRP) that the show "‘Rakhi ka Swayamwar" a reality show featuring Bollywood starlet Rakhi Sawant, in which she chose her future husband. This TRP was the best so far recorded for any television soap. According to Audience Measurement and Analytics Pvt. Ltd Some 15.7 million people tuned into NDTV Imagine for watching this show.
NDTV people did really hard work to make this marriage look real in all sense and make it palatable for Hindi GEC audiences.Last recorded best TRP for any show was Twenty20 World Cup cricket final on 21 June, that brought in TRPs of 3.5 for its broadcaster ESPN Software India Pvt. Ltd’s Star Cricket channel.
“People were curious to find out what the show was about because the concept was new and this is what made them stay with us throughout the show,” said Sameer Nair, chief executive officer, NDTV Imagine.
In my opinion this show was senseless, Choosing a life partner on screen when you do not have much resource to know that whether the person standing as one of the contestants is fake or not. But whatever it was, people liked it. The new concept with some traditions, the kind of marriage which we usually read in books or in old Hindu stories, where a princess try out many man out of she will choose one, the best one. The show provided enough spice as well which can be easily served with an Indian dinner.
I guess Rakhi is taking a sensible decision to try Elesh first and if he s not the man then who knows, may be "Rakhi ka Swayamwar - season 2!!".May be this will fetch more audience then first.May be some more heart broken celebrities will try out this concept where they have not to spend even a penny for dating or marriage every thing would be arranged, by channel it self.
Any ways Rakhi is such kind of girl whom you can hate or you can love,but you can not ignore. I really wish Rakhi a happy and prosperous married life with of course Elesh Parujanwala.

Well, I personally think Rakhi did a great job by doing this show the reason being that this will improve girls/women status in the indian society... don't say no, coz 16 people were fighting for 1 girl... fake or not was Rakhi's problem not to be worried out by others.
ReplyDeleteAlso, may it be a nautanki but the ideas and social virtues showed in the program refreshes our traditional values. Someone who has seen the extensions of the program knows what I'm talking about.
Even if Rakhi doesn't marry Elesh, I would say this was a much needed program for the Indian saas-bahu audience.
Yeah that is the way people in India think including partial me ..I liked the concept, but with me the only problem was the fakeness of contestants as well as Rakhi .. but whatever it is, every one cherishes and respects rising sun. And as I said Rakhi is one of the vivid star of the bolly-industry, and India can not ignore her.
ReplyDeleteOf Course this show was far better than Mtv's Roadies which was though entertaining but had really bad impact on youngsters.
First of all TRPs are not described in "%". It is an "out of 10" number which is given on the basis of viewership.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I think covering Rakhi Sawant for journalistic(media, TV, included) purposes is a shame for the profession of journalism. She don't deserve it. And by doing so, people are glorifying that woman, who does not know a single thing about a true Indian woman (people may find this view controversial).
Pardon my hard words, but she is a glorified b***h.
