Btw which show is Aa Gale Lag Jaa? I cant recall it.

It was a show on Zee starring Mamik Singh. It was based on the Shashi Kapoor-Sharmila Tagore movie of the same name but with some added elements like the alien track which was inspired by E.T.

The serial used/remade a lot of songs from older Hindi movies. The title song was a remake of "Gaadi Bula Rahi Hai" from Dost (1974).

I guess you are talking about showing Ganesha as Supreme. This actually is not without basis. There is a small sect which really does worship Ganesha as the Supreme Deity. Some corresponding texts exist as well.

The notion of a god or goddess' show portraying that deity above originates in the same notion in the various religious texts in the subcontinent. A Saivite text portrays Shiva as supreme for example (and Vishnu is frequently subjugated and humiliated in those texts). The opposite is true of a Vaishnavite text. And so on and so forth. The serial makers follow this tradition on screen.

Gopi Bahu follows a chicken around because she believes the chicken is her Ahemji.
