Is it because FL is not an unaccomplished bechari ? Is it because her life does not revolve around the ML & his family ? That she is a no-nonsense, no crap taking person ? She is fiery and focussed and should I say not a white washed character . Also the ML is not a jerk , he does not abuse or put down his girl or there is no scene of hero manhandling his FL . That he is actually a noble person .Add to the facts that Aarambh actually has a story and the show does not revolve around leads' love life and kitchen politics only .
All the reasons listed are definitely whats keeping the (30000 household meter wale TRP aunties) away in India.
Being an intl viewer TRPs do not matter to me, but just hope the show does runs its course of 65 episodes without any compromise on content or story.This promo by SP hopefully will lure the audiences to this amazing show.

I will give an analysis of the low ratings but please don't hate or lynch me for it. It's not my mentality I am talking about but the general Indian mentality especially of the trp contributing masses.
Firstly a Hindi show would be watched mainly by the North Indian and central Indian belt. Secondly you and I don't provide trps. It is the lower middle classes, especially women.While we are loving the Varsena pairing, I don't think the trp audience is. In typical Indian mentality, fair is equal to beautiful. A typical relic of the British slavery days where it was hammered into our heads that the Britishers are divine as they are fair.So a beautiful hero with a not so beautiful heroine (as per them) would have hit the core mentality where the male is supposed to be less good looking than a female in any relationship.Indians are obsessed with skin colour. Here for authenticity they have taken a heroine with a dark complexion. This is further verified by the producer's statement that viewers have fallen in lust with varundev. There are no such comments about the Varsena pair.Another mental frame the show hits on is by showing the women very cruel and men very weak in the Dravidian society. It hits the solar plexus when a woman wants to have multiple husbands, kills her new born babies or threatens to kill her husband if he doesn't impregnate her with the desired seed.We can analyse that it is different time and culture the show is talking about but what about the trp audience? In families where there is only one television, would these trp aunties allow this show to be run?Add to it the fact that there is almost no comedy or masala or over the top drama, We have a loser in trp terms in our hands. I don't think this show is ever going to get good BARC ratings. If they add some comedy and masala in the jaldev/Shiva track it might help, else

crap shows like Naagin emerge as TRP winners (Just brought it up because that too is weekend show) but look at a show like Aarambh where the makers have left no stone un-turned to establish it as a unique show in terms of Story telling, casting and special effects. A fine example of quality over quantity.
I am just glad about this whole Hotstar thing as whatever revenue that they may miss out on TV Ad slots due to trps they can make up for it through hotstar ads provided that they get lots of views.
