What comes after weddings in fiction shows on TV? Divorce!
The divorce track has become popular on fiction shows
Tanvi Trivedi
According to many popular fiction shows on GECs, after the couples get married, the divorce' word is not uncommon. Shows today are more about marital conflicts and situations that led to the idea that a marriage might fail. Like the saas-bahu sagas, this is a popular track with GECs. Couples fall in love, get married and the track gets to a point where the couples decide to separate or divorce. It would be a situation where the divorce papers arrive or the couple separate for a few episodes, and only to reunite again if the TRPs demand that. Guess, the makers seem to find this whole separation or divorce track after a marriage creating drama and excitement for the viewers.
