There's so much on Indian television and so many channels too! But I can't help but feel nothing is really watchable. A lot of the stories are almost identical - the guy and the girl hate each other, get married forcefully and then later (like 2 years later), they fall in love finally. There are tediously long separation tracks and huge extended families that live together in mansions. I usually don't end up watching a show for more than a few months.

I came across this show called Confessions of an Indian Teenager and I loved it! The episodes are all separate and very short and pretty light. And they're very relevant to Indian teenagers.

So does anyone have any show recommendations?


(I know this isn't Bollywood-related technically but...whatever).

I only try to watch Big Boss every year. I don't have subscription to Desi Channels, so I can't be bothered to find links of anything else let alone find the links, watch them AND keep up with the never ending episodes. Too much work.😆

I liked it in the beginning and I like the fact that it has a fixed duration too. So it won't stretch endlessly. But I dunno, I just lost interest after a bit.

Wow that's a lot of show! But I know what you mean. I start a show and then watch for a few weeks and lose interest pretty fast.

haha! But a lot of the shows are pretty easy to find! Easier than American shows at least. I get ALL the Indian channels because I live with my Grandma. And trust me, that's not a good thing most of the time since my grandma loves watching tv. I know all the bahus names and everything. #sadlife

Right now I'm not watching any Hindi show on a regular basis. In Pavitra Rishta I was liking the Ankita-Narent track, but looks like Ekta is going to ruin that story by putting in some dirty stuff so I might quit it again if that happens. I watch Yeh Hai Mohabbatein sometimes to keep up with the story, I can't watch it on an everyday basis as the female lead's character irritates me to no extent. You are right, there nothing to watch on TV these days. I miss Bigg Boss. :(

Nowadays I watch only one serial on a regular basis- a Marathi show on Zee Marathi 'Honar Soon Mi Hya Ghar Chi' (I'll be the DIL of this house) Don't go by the name, its a REALLY good show with none of the typical saas bahu nonsense. Concept, writing, characters, light humour, emotional scenes, acting- everything is top class. None of the show on any Hindi channel even hold a candle to this show. In fact not just this show, but in general I find many of the shows on Marathi channels better than Hindi serials.

I do not watch any Indian TV shows except BiggBoss and only for its raunchy and entertainment value. Other than that my time is way too important to waste on these 2 rupees celebrities. I got no patience to deal with their ongoing sagas and dramatic angles -- they just do not do it for me. Hence that is the reason I do not even know who is who of TV and that hinders my trolling.

When Im looking for some entertainment I watch American television, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Dexter, NatGeo, Discovery, History channel documentaries etc.
