Kyun ki Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi

Some months ago the primetime slot on many television channels started seeing some brand new serials which were way better than the typical SaaS Bahu saga. It all started with the launch of an interesting channel called colors. It’s with colors that some real good programs started stepping on the Indian television stage. Issues that were grounded to the roots of the traditional India like child marriage, killing of girl child, rich dad poor dad’s children were brought to light. Other channels like StarPlus still are experimenting with some SOAP matter even today.
Days passed and routines were established for millions of Indians to watch these drams folding and unfolding each evening (not sure if weekends are spared from this). Today it’s again becoming like last year when Tulsi was ruling almost every house across the country. To add some spice to the drama, these days we have a wave of reality shows that are featuring on every channel. Shows to find our reality of marriage, taking care of small children, BigBoss (I don’t understand why people are so bothered about every action of 13 crazy guys.) Thankfully there are no cameras in the toilet otherwise imagine the TRP’s for the program. That’s not all the amount of stupidity, politics that are planned and executed by these small screen actors I wonder if there could have been a better way to use the talent of these people. If you realize there are over 15 conspiracies planned by numerous saas and bahus across serials in less than 3 primetime hours. I don’t understand if these channels are helping our society come out of these traditional thoughts or helping them cherish their childhood memories which have held our society in handcuffs.
And now all this was not enough there is a serial starting which will tell us what we were in our previous birth. God please save us please please please.
