I don't get why these serials have these Gujarati families and always show them as rich?

KSBKT = guju

TB = Guju

TKTG = Guju

GKLB = Guju

and all of them are rich well set families. What are your thoughts? I think it is a way to gain TRPs. I am a Gujarati and so many of my family members will watch soaps 7 - 10 pm everyday. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why, but you are right. From what I've seen, most serials have a rich family: Saath Phere (singh), Parivaar (shergill), maayka (soni's in-laws), naagin, jab love hua (this show ended its run this year). For most Indians, this provides a glimpse into the life of rich people:to see what rich people have, what they do, the mistakes they make, and how much they are like everybody else(and perhaps worse?)

Also, this is pretty much in line with the film industry too.

Zee certainly has a lot of well-off Gujarati families--could it have anything to do with the production company ownership, the origin of writers in Bombay, etc?

But gujju's are rich at heart. like someone said before. Gujrati's have a big, wealthy and healthy hearts and that shows through the money they have.
