10 ways to get your perfect Indian TV Saga Ready!
1) Basics : an affluent male lead ( should be good looking only; no need of any intelligence )
2) Basics : a bechari type female lead ( should be extra good looking ; should be well rehearsed in definitions of pativrata , sindhoor , patidharm , patnidharm , pyaar & suhaagraat , should be dressed in saree, Mangalsutra,bindi all day long)
3) A shape shifting Mother in law ( naagin preferred ) ; should be 10000000000^ times more clever that main leads
4) an old father in law ( should be good looking though ) ; voice doesn't matter , he is not getting any dialogue anyway
5) A female third wheel character ; should wear western and revealing dresses to show that she is evil ( because her acting is unable to do that )
6) a younger bhai/behen of the male lead ; should only visit college, get routinely drunk in some party, be maa baap ka laadla/laadli, yet be home when some drama is going on
7) 1000000000 trillion worth if property - because that is the only way the male lead will be able to sit at home all day wearing suits and solving the problems between the ladies in the house (or simply giving shocked exoressions )
8) an actress suitable to play female lead's mother. Should be well rehearsed in love advising
9) some 20000 years old cranky unrelated daadi , whose job is to sit on the cot in the living room and scold everyone
10) two eyeballs and an empty brain who will watch the above cr*p
