U KNOW ITS AN EKTA SOAP WHEN....

Mask Parties are held and the main leads seem to find it the best time to express their love when their chances of recognizing each other is 1%, even when the only part of their face is covered is their eyes
Whenever something good or bad happens, its a MUST to get EVERYONE'S facial reaction and that too in 10 different colors and shades on each character...even Raghu Kaka's
A rape is held in the same household almost in every generation like its a tradition or something??
In weddings, the person you marry is never the person you love
Also in weddings, the bad guy always uses a sehra as protection to get married to his lady love...and oh how I love how no one in the family can recognize the body build or height as if the sehra blinds not only the groom but the entire parivaar's eyes also
The guy and girl will never get along at first and always will have these useless fights that end with staring session
Staring & tearing up sessions is a must, and a 15min time slot is the minimum
The lead pair will always somehow get lost in a jungle and find a cottage to stay in...during this time the girl will somehow get hurt and the boy will use his hero-giri persona and save her...and at the end, ALWAYS after getting lost in the jungle, the boy and girl fall in love
Death is only a way of saying reincarnation or there is really no end
You can never be gaurenteed that your favorite jodi will unite
There is always atleast 1 or 2 sautan's
Numerous children are involved in the story who don't know who their birth parents are
Baa is eternal
A party is another way of saying family meeting
The female will ALWAYS have trouble putting on her necklace or her dori and the male will somehow ALWAYS be around secretly watching her and grinning for 10mins then goes over to help her out and she has the most fake shocked face ever
It is a MUST to show the male putting the dupatta on the female's head
The girl will always fall and the boy will be at standby to catch her
One storyline is streched for almost six months until the viewers are deathly sick of it
Random filmy music is always playing in the background
The mystery of the plot is never really a mystery because the outcome comes out to be this pathetic nonrealistic occurance
The jodi's names are always matching [i.e. : Sahil-Ganga [shore-water] Krishna Tulsi-Kisna [Kisna ki tulsi?]]
The 80 yr old Grandmother can fight off any evil when its almost impossible for her son/daughter to fight it off
One outfit is passed along many people and worn so many times
Rangoli & Dhokla making is a must
Two lovers will always romance in the crowd of their family and yet their family won't find out until later and will be shocked like 'when did this happen'
The variety of the children vary from a Don to a high class businessman
• Generation leaps = increase in TRPs

...go ahead and add more

OMG good game or whatever... 👏 👏 but sorry, i am very bad at these things....i will write later ok? 😉

1)Uncontable Raaz(secrets)
2)When a dead person becomes alive the flower from his photo falls.
3)When the girl is to leave the boy her dupatta get stuck on the boy's watch

Oh wow Jhanvi thats one listttttt...So true and gosh the way u put it so matter of factly makes it all the more funny😆...too good😆😆
I m sure they are plenty more...the tried and tested umpteen formulas of an Ekta soap...I will think up some and add later...
But great post👏...had fun reading it😊...

well i wanna change sumthing....the generation leaps don't always raise trps....eg-2nd leap in kyunki,kzk,kggk

another point-the hero will always have at least one child from the sautan of his wife 😆

Jhanvi ...the topic is wicked 😉 .......can I add people become positive to negative in no time like Wahida's Eku 😆 ...but negative people never become positive again......even if they are reincarnated as positive......they turn negative..... 😆

U KNOW ITS AN EKTA SOAP WHEN....

• A party is another way of saying family meeting - They do pooja also...followed by party

• Random filmy music is always playing in the background- I call it a song's post-mortom..but even flop songs become hit like this. Who heard "Jeene ke ishre" and "Tera intezaar hai aaja"

• One outfit is passed along many people and worn so many times- By baap-beta like Lakshya-Sahil had one blue sherwani that they wore in all functions

Rangoli & Dhokla making is a must - Going to temple is family hobby
• The variety of the children vary from a Don to a high class businessman - Also 1 mentally retarted one who is villian later like Mayank and Chotu

when ever they have something good or bad going to happen they have storm and the diya frm temple will blow off 👏

I actually heard 'jeene ke ishare' many times before watching kyunki but never really liked it until i was forced to listen to it as a background score w/ LKT...but now I love it, and 'tera intezaar hai' i LOVED, but watching it on her soaps made it less special to me 🤔
