It had everything in it except story.
Pre marital sex and child out of wed lock was big thing during those days, but Prerna was the one who decided to go ahead with it.
Komolika brought the much needed fashion trend in telly land. Her sarees, blouse, hair style, attitude, expressions everything was talk of the town.
Bajaj was imperfectly perfect. Manipulating and dominating but still droolworthy.
Best part about original kasauti - there was no social media to poke nose. Watch it and forget. Now a days people don't know the difference between real and reel. They start abuse session with actors if they don't like the characters and even actors keep themselves busy talking with faceless trolls.
It was fine and good when it started. Even kamo was not completely black. She was a greedy woman who wanted everything on platter without moving a finger, but she was not into killing, cutting and chopping people. Later it was dragged to infinite years and everyone turned into abnormal shit.
Having said that, there were many blunders which remained unclosed forever. Bajaj's kaands were worst than komolika, but they never bother to expose it. He was a criminal, they tried hard to wash him with Nirma and present him completely white. To some extent they succeeded as there were many prerna-bajaj shipper.
This time Ekta is surviving total on nostalgia that she's going out and bringing all well known faces for every character. All she needed was more expressive Prerna and less expensive komolika.
And kasauti was not about tragedy. Shweta and cezanne failed to differentiate their personal issues and professional priorities which turned it into something else.
