Summary Indian media stated that Satyamev Jayate is depreciating in its Television Rating Points (TRP).
Aamir Khans show Satyamev Jayate, which is certainly bringing about a wave of tremor in the Indian society, is depreciating in its Television Rating Points (TRP). The show may not be making a good business, but the Actor is content and says that the show is meant to serve.According to Indian media reports, the channel is disappointed as the show was viewed by 90 million people on its opening day but its TRP is witnessing a gradual degradation. Aamirs TV debut was anticipated to give a tough fight to Amitabh Bachchans Kaun Banega Crorepati and mint a whole lot of money. The actor though is not taken aback with such responses. In an interview with a leading daily, Aamir said, I am very clear that our viewer ship is the highest ever. I dont know what the advertisers do but I will tell you one thing. The reason I am not bothered about TRPs is because TRP number is given by just 7,000 boxes. And how is 7000 boxes going to tell me what India is watching. TRP is very different from viewership. And I am bothered about viewer ship; I am concerned about it, not the TRPs.Mr. Perfectionist said that he is happy with peoples reactions and the shows response is like dream come true. He wanted people to discuss debate and have an insight of what is happening around them. The show aims at awakening commoners and change their thoughts. It never meant to be highlighted amongst the politicians. He said, In fact, in a large number of issues... what is required is a change in attitude. For example, all of us are surrounded by this patriarchal kind of thinking. Now politicians can hardly change that. The feeling that people have... of not wanting a girl child... that is a feeling. So we are looking to provoke people to look inward, rather than outward.The show has so far cover sensitive social problems like female foeticides, child sexual abuse, dowry, medical malpractice, honor killings, physical disabilities, domestic violence and pesticide poisoning. Team Satyamev Jayate seems defiant and happy, however, the advertisers are apparently not so happy with the show as the add rates during the show are high in spite of its stumpy TRP.
