When I was a kid.....

I have vague memories of watching TV serials such as "Baneygi apni baat", "Darr" "Hum panchi ek daal key", "Dekh bhai dekh", "Thoda sa aasman" etc. as I grew up. While I must admit I was never an avid viewer of TV, I never had found any of these soaps so super-illogical and nonsensical. These soaps used to have not only a fairly good story but also a strong cast- Aashish Vidyarthi, Pavan Malhotra, Irfan Khan, Pallavi Joshi, Kay Kay Menon... to name a few.

I wonder what happened down the line and the soaps have become rotten tomatoes these days.

shubs there are still a few thats still have an excellent storyline but i guess we dont watch them
we only choose to watch the ones that go down the drain after some time😆

well the saas bahu crap took over....ppl were more interested in those BS....and now we fed up again.....

Shubs, I've never heard of any of the serials you've mentioned.

Yas, I think these serials were aired between 1990-2000. I think some of them were on DD1 (Doordarshan- national television).

shubs maybe then i may not know about them i wasnt even born yet

When were you born Aasiya? These serials are from 90s. I think if you lived abroad you wouldn't have got DD channel.

🤣

Shbus I started watching cable in college Ekta ruled the roost then so I have no idea of the serials you mention. My firs serial was KZK..... it was a nightmare. A friend of mine doted on Anurag so I watched to please her how I hated him....

Munee, these soaps I have mentioned are definitely pre-Ekta days. I had stopped watching TV soaps by the time Ekta started.
