Sumeet Raghavan, a well-known face in the Indian entertainment industry, recently shared his thoughts on the pressures of TRP ratings and the reasons behind Wagle Ki Duniya going off-air. Raghavan, known for his roles in Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai and Wagle Ki Duniya, discussed the "vicious circle" of the TRP race and the stigma sometimes associated with being a "television actor" in an interview with Pinkvilla.

According to Raghavan, everyone gets caught up in the TRP rat race, regardless of their intentions. He mentioned that the cast and crew of Wagle Ki Duniya would receive updates on the show's ratings every Wednesday or Thursday, highlighting the constant pressure to perform well in terms of TRPs. Raghavan feels that the minus point of television is that everything boils down to TRPs. He questions the importance given to TRP ratings in determining a show's worth, wondering if it should be given so much weight.

When Wagle Ki Duniya was taken off-air, many people questioned the decision, a sentiment echoed by Raghavan himself. He said that the reason for the show ending was low TRPs. Despite the show's popularity and relatable characters, it seems the ratings didn't meet the required benchmark. Raghavan stated that he doesn't know how much importance should be given to TRPs. He believes in doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate.

Wagle Ki Duniya enjoyed a successful run, resonating with audiences due to its relatable content. Raghavan noted that the show's launch during the pandemic was advantageous, as people sought fresh and wholesome entertainment. He also credited the established brand of Wagle Ki Duniya and the inclusion of seasoned actors like Anjan Srivastav and Bharti Achrekar for the show's success. The show addressed social issues and told stories that resonated with viewers across different age groups and regions.

Raghavan expressed pride in being part of Wagle Ki Duniya, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in achieving the milestone of completing 900 episodes. He fondly recalled the first day of shooting in January 2021, highlighting the excitement and dedication on set despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Despite Wagle Ki Duniya going off-air, Sumeet Raghavan's reflections remind us of the power of storytelling to connect with individuals and communities. He believes that being a good person, thinking about others, and spreading happiness are essential responsibilities. While TRPs remain a significant factor in the television industry, Raghavan's perspective encourages a focus on quality, relatable content, and the importance of teamwork in creating a successful show.
