From Balaji to Sony to Zee, our serial makers boast about propagating good old Indian ethics, family values and social norms through their soaps. But soon, the need for masala and drama overtakes the good intentions of promoting sanskaar and adarsh to the lay man. Why else do they show their protagonists getting married again and again, and yet again? Why not send them for marriage counselling instead? Check out how some of the current favourites on television have been jumping in and out of marriages - and making light of a serious social institution. This one can certainly be called 'all in the family.': Aamna Sharif Kahin to Hoga's Kashish (Aamna Shariff): This pretty lass first broke off her engagement with Sujal Garewal ( who she had been seeing) because of differences and got married to his cousin Piyush Raheja. After the latter's death, she married Sujal and now, after Sujal's death, she is all set to tie the knot yet again with his step-brother Swayam who fancies her. This is what we call 'true love: Cezanne Khan Kasautii's Anurag Basu: For starters, he impregnated his first love Prerna and dumped her to get married to Komolika. Later he dumped her and married Prerna. Then the two divorced each other over various misunderstandings and he got hitched to wife number three, Apo*na.However, Currently it is Prerna and Anurag who are living together as a 'couple'. Ummm...oh…never mind!: Anuj Saxena Kkusum's Abhay Kapoor (Anuj Saxena): His first wife Kkusum and he had a daughter. Then Abhay got involved with Isha. But the story moved on and he married Tashu. He had a son from her. Then came Mahi, the third (or is it fourth) wife. He had a daughter from her as well. And in between all this, he kept remarrying and divorcing his first wife Kkusum( at least five times). Abhi is seriously taking the 'age no bar' syndrome very seriously: Varun Badola Astitva's Abhimanyu Saxena (Varun Badola): The main protagonist of the show Abhi gets married to Dr. Simran first. He then marries his assistant Kiran, who eventually dumps him. The third bride is his colleague Neha who he marries because of first wife Simran's insistence. Then Neha dies. And now, Abhi and Simran have remarried. A true momma's boy, what?: Sumeet Sachdev Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi's Gautam Virani (Sumeet Sachdev): He loved Teesha but married Ganga because his mother wanted him to. On learning the truth about Ganga, momma got the darling divorced from his wife and married to sweetheart Teesha. Then Teesha died in a car accident. So now, the boy's got third time lucky with his brother's girlfriend Damini. |
