In fact, ALTBalaji's subscribers stare at the buffering symbol for an average of 18 seconds per episode. Which means, their entire women subscriber base of 1.2 million stares at the buffering symbol for approximately 360,000 minutes a day.

The message next to the symbol, encouraged women to check themselves for breast cancer. The symbol was surprising, unmissable and informative. Something our viewers noticed and engaged with in huge numbers.
