It's the brutal king with a mighty sword - The TRPs, that's Television Rating Points, is that vital element in the Indian television industry that rules the fate of any and every show that's telecast.
It's become so common to hear about the sad demise of a show that it's not shocking anymore. On a serious note, who are hit the most by this doleful channel decision? The producer and the actors.
In case of the actors, they suddenly find themselves stranded, and to hunt for newer roles in the midst of all the cut-throat-competition. And with every channel and producer going in for newer and fresh faces, landing the right role is no cakewalk for them. In fact, many are left in a lurch without any work for months together after a show is abruptly taken off air.
