Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani’s Karanvir Sharma: I think we need a newer understanding of TRPs, its subjective

Karanvir Sharma, during a conversation with Indiaforums, spoke about his point of view regarding TRPs, and here’s what he had to say about it.

TRPs are an absolutely important aspect for any show on television for it to continue on the screen. While there are actors who believe that it is their job to perform and let the audience decide the show’s fate, one cannot deny that a consistent number game is important for any show to last longer. Shaurya aur Anokhi ki Kahaani actor Karanvir Sharma recently spoke to us about the same, and he feels that we need a newer understanding of TRPs, however, he also understands that the conversation around it is only necessary for producers and others in the industry,

Karanvir says, ”The thing is that I have never really understood TRPs and it has never been my forte. Yes, you do have a certain talk about it among people who are from television or producers and they will be concerned if a show is not getting TRPs and that is a very valid thing but it is very subjective. I think we need a newer understanding because the show might not do well on the TRP front but in the digital front of the same app of the same company, it can do wonders, so there has to be a total algorithm to it. The show might do really well in some other country, and might not do well in your country, so everything has to be considered.”

He adds, ”TRP is such a thing that I can’t really understand it, I don’t even know how they measure it, there is the whole BARC system and everything but what are the accuracy levels, I don’t know. Having said that, if you want your show to work, you expect a consistent TRP but I have always told my people that I have never been a numbers person because it will start affecting me and my performance.”

Meanwhile, Karanvir returned to the sets of the show recently after having recovered from COVID-19 and is back to entertaining his audiences. The actor also made it to Twitter trends as he resumed shooting for the show.
