Indian Idol more popular than saregamapa.

After hearing Himesh Reshammaya and Bappi Lahiri bragging about saregamapa's TRP ratings I thought about researching the popularity amongst the reality shows. It was interesting to find that Indian Idol is far ahead amongst people who use google to search. In google trends if we rank by saregamapa I found out that Pakistan has the higest queries for indian idol even though saregamapa has pakistani contestants. When we rank by Indian idol saregamapa doesn't show in most countries.
I think both the music directors should stop shooting their mouth of regarding TRP's.

Indian Idol popular in other subcontinental countries

It is surprising but true Indian idol has been searched more in Nepali and Hindi than in English . According to Google trends, it has been searched more in Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal and then in India .It has also been searched in Danish, Dutch, German, French, Chinese, Tagalog, Punjabi.

This shows that Indian Idol is truly popular television realty program .
