kavya wid nimmo

Is Ekta watching too much of Desperate Housewives?

Now don't get us wrong. Everyone, and that means 90 per cent of the TV industry in India, is inspired these days by the firang soaps .
But we thought a slick and smart production house like Balaji Telefilms with its horde of talented writers would not resort to picking ideas from say, a Desperate Housewives. Thursday's episode of Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa left us with a distinct sense of deja vu.

Kunal (Eijaz Khan) who just entered the plot, has a dog Oscar, who gets after Nimmo, and while licking her face, accidentally swallows her earring. The dog chokes on the trinket, Kunal rushes him to the hospital, but is seething about the person who made his precious dog suffer.

Now, for those who caught Desperate Housewives' first season, will recall a similar incident occurred with Susan (a very Nimmo like fallible character, again) while she's at beau Mike's place, in the presence of Edie. Mike's liking for Susan turns into temporary dislike, something we suspect the Nimmo... track will make Kunal do too.

What next? A murder and a cover-up job? We wouldn't be too surprised
