The article also said that the world of Ekta soaps and well for that matter most hindi soaps is one of escapism not reality ..people watch to forget harsh reality & crude facts of our day to day existence
A marriage between two people with a vast age gap like depicted in BANDINI would in real life face numerous problems and after a while the fairy tale romance would sour ...they said no character could continue to look like DM in real life after numerous leaps and god knows how many years passed by.
DM appeared to be no more than fifty going by his appearance in the show and they wanted to know which jaadooi mantra he used. 😆
After a while in ekta soaps they said time stood still and we have to leave our brains behind to enjoy it
