We've all grown up watching K-ekta shows. There r almost 57312128415 shows produced by 'Balaji Telefilms' till now. 245141 of those shows actually had an awesome start. But like every other K-ekta show they ended on a very very pathetic note.
But, that's not the point here.
The reason why i've made this post and invited ya'all here is that...in case you've noticed, there're some real bad cliches in all the balaji shows. I've tried to sum up some of them here from my experience of watching a bunch of balaji shows.

#leaps
#leads seperate and unite million times.
#female lead goes into coma for
4924824741 years.. #and she once or twice goes to Jail.
#elders of the show age, they grow old,
really old, but never die.
#once in the lifetime of the show, the
male lead loses all this money, business,
property to an evil character. N hence he n d female lead leave their posh
mansion n start living in some middle-
class surroundings.
#during dat period, female lead will be
seen wearing no jwellery, minimal
make-up, cotton sarees n suits. Meanwhile xyz stuff happens dat just
drags d show n does nothing else.


I would like u all to sharw more of these. N if not share experiences or incidents while watching a 'balaji telefilms' show.


P.s.- this post is all in good humour n just for fun. I don't mean to offend anyone.

Nice post. I think not only is this seen in every Ekta show ... It's regurgitated again n agin. Now I have taken to watching only first 6 months - it's usually down hill from there... Looks like YHM will be same.


- lead characters are often touted as intelligent but end up only as intelligent as the script writer
- the lead male always gets involved with another woman - usually salli
- the lead female is often rejected by other men before finally meeting lead male
- the lead male is always a business tycoon
- at some point there is a razz element that only the female lead can uncover

well till date I felt I was the only one who was thinking that way
I watched ... 5 shows of Ekta ... Like Koshish / Koi apna sa /kasam se / pavitra rishta and Yeh hay muhabbatien

so let's start from the 1st...
it was too good ...**that time shows started and ended when the story was OVER so it ended in a year despite the great performances of the leads

then i watched Koi apna sa - a story of 3 friends.. that started so nicely.. I could not wait for next episode šŸ˜† then one day... they changed the 2nd heroin and the other who replaced her had plastic surgeryšŸ˜† and from there... it went down hill and i left it... that replaced face character started taking revenge on others.. and i lost interest!!!

then came Kasamh se - started very nicely... really good 2 years it rocked and then .. the leaps šŸ˜† the main lead started as 40 yrs old i guess ended as 80-90+ but looked younger then the beginning šŸ˜†šŸ¤£ his kids / grand kids ext looked the same age as he was šŸ˜† 2 3 marriages ext I lost intensest and dropped it as well...

then Pavitra rishta.. started very nicely.. middle class couple... their love story .. then the leaps... and hero left the show and from there.. I found no return and stopped watching itšŸ˜† now i think they have grand kids 😃

so far YHM started off very well... hope it keeps like that... else if the leaps start ... again i might lose interest and drop it but i want to keep watching... because after so long there is good show !!!
