The only soap brave enough to break away from the magic figure seems to be 'Tumhari Disha' on Zee, which has decided to take a 25-year leap. Says producer Rupali Guha, "It was the decision of the channel to take a 25-year leap in the story. I don't think 20 or 25 years makes any real difference. There was a research conducted and we decided to change the flow. We would like to call it a re-launch more than a generation leap. I sincerely feel that the main story ends after the 50th episode. But one has to keep reinventing."
