I know that in the beginning maryada was a feature of sbs and shows like telly tadka, but for the past few months there have been no segments about maryada..
I guess this is one explanation for why maryada received such low trps...no one really heard about the show. there were no promos, and shows like sbs didnt even feature segments on it.
What's even stranger is that now the show is going off air, sbs didn't even put a segment to announce it. I find that so odd...for every other show they always announce, even if only in a 30 sec segment, that it is going off air.
I guess this once again shows how difficult it is to be different in indian soaps. A show like maryada, with its depiction of divorce, homosexuality, along with other realities that are often ignored in media, was never given the media attention and publicity it deserved. despite having such a beautiful story and probably the best actors in Indian television, maryada never received the same sort of coverage as saas bahu serials.
I feel that now especially, when so much is happening in the show, sbs should feature maryada in a few episodes. I would love to see interviews of the cast, how they feel about the show ending, what memories they made, and what the show meant to them, but I doubt this will happen 😒
