Let us list out the common or rather say only features of Ekta's serials.
Let me be the first to begin with
1) A big bunglow with a PARIVAAR of dada. dadi, papa, mummyji, chacha,chachi,tau,tayiji, bahus,betis.....Most of the time all elderly persons relaxing in the centre hall on the sofa
2) A girl from poor family getting married to this family member.
3) Jealousy among bahuranis and conspiracy.
4) Extramarital affairs of papa,mummy......and their illegal kids
5) Women wearing sleeveless blouses and heavy make ups in any situation.
6) Most of the men are lallus; "Kachche kaan ke" listening to their wives.
7) One lead lady making BHAASHANs on MERA PARIVAAR.
8) One night stay
9) One and only one Pregancy ka chakkar aana. (Faint and Vomit only once during their pregnancy)
10) Kidnapping: Godowns with empty cartons, one lamp hanging in between with a telephone lying there with few ropes. This is needed in every alternate episode.
I have many more....but I want u guys to build the chain further. It will be fun......C'mon and make the list longer and longer...............
