I am wondering why are Zee soaps always ahead in India..that way most of us in US come to know what is happening there not necessarily through this forum but friends, family and sometimes when we go there...and we loose interest..It has happened with me for Kareena Kareena and Astitva as I saw the India episodes when I was visiting India and lost interest in what happend before that..its not a detective serial that we remain interested like how did that happen..?

Why does zee do it..? In Sony, we are in parallel with India, then why not in Zee as well..?

Hey I have always felt the same way and infact had like a year or so ago had asked the zee people who responded something of the effect that thisi s not some live link . Initally they had problems getting the link to work and its some kind of recording like a video recordding of some kind. Sony gets it live link via satellite . Do not ask me more technical details as I do not remember. And now its diffcult for them as they cannot leave the show halfway to stream line with India.

But they can increase the number of episodes aired per week for the shows to catch up with India..instead of repeating the same episode 4 times a day..cause otherwise we can never catch up with what is going in India..

yeah... i can imagine. But isnt that the same everywhere. We are way behind in India in terms of serials like maybe Bold and beautiful and friends etc...

One reason why US is behind on serials on zee is because of the subtitles. Since there are no subtitles in the sony serials, they have no problem telecasting it right away. But for zee serials it takes time for them to do the sub-titles as well.

But we don't need sub-titles and in fact we find it quite annoying, those sub-titles..anyway, i don't think anyone not knowing hindi would watch all these soaps..
