Well I actually thought of posting this long back,but cudnt get time so posting now.....

Whatever I am saying in this post is with repect to the Hindi TV industry and the present Hindi serial scenario...I am not comparing any shows in particualr with SGP but I am talking about hindi daily soaps as whole

What I have felt is that nowadays almost every hindi television show has got a so called great Indian family consisting of many members starting from dada-dadi to pota-poti...Whenever you switch hindi channels,you will atleast find 8 out of 10 shows depicting such a family...But the common practice which I have seen is that in those shows,except the lead pair,the other charachters depicting the relatives of the lead are sidelined...They merely stand as a support to the lead and nothing else.....But here in Sasural Genda Phool,I have seen that each and every charachter has been etched in such a manner that you actually cant concentrate on just the lead pair...Right from the starting we have seen that each and every member of the Kashyap Family has some or the other back story which has been portryaed in the show..Starting from Badi Ma whose husband has left her alone to Radha Bua whose husband could do such a pathetic thing with her...each charachter has a story to tell...If you recollect,in the initial episodes,the show showed a conversation between Suhana and Dolly DiDI where even Dolly Didi had a small thing to share about her husband...like first she thoght her husband wud be lakhon mein ek...and later she found that he was indeed one of the lakh of people..nothing special...(i actually loved that dialogue).......
Even Meena who is supposed to portray a maid in the house has a story which was brought out by Badi Ma which i guess none of the other shows would even care to tell......And not just story,every charachter has a prominent role to play...each and every charachter gets ample screen space along with the leads...may it be the sweet scenes between Sushaan,Dadaji-Dadiji or Elesh-Disha or Indser consoling Rajni......and its not just the husband-wife sequence here....U get to see great father-daughter scenes with KK-Sanju-Suhana and great Mother-Son scenes with Badi ma-Inder or Rano-Ishaan


I had read in a TB interview with sadia siddiqui(radha Bua),she told that she took the role of Radha Bua in SGP becuase she knew that this was a Ravi Ojha show and she was damn sure that she wouldnt be wasted...And thats so true....


I guess after Baa bahu aur baby and Jasuben Jayantilal....this indeed is a great indian family which is in real...The whole set up of the sasural has been done in such a way that u will find such families now and then in ur muhalla..........

This was just according to my POV😛...so please let me know ur POV too😉......and please dont mind my long post😆

Shaunak first of all very well written yaar..... my applause for the same.....👏...never mind the length.... that was much needed as u are still a student.....🤣

Very correctly said that in television nowadays we hardly get to see different sagas of different characters all woven in one serial.... here it is a definite plus-plus point for SGP as each character has been given importance...👍🏼...
I loved BBB to the core and even now i watch the repeat in Star utsav.... that makes my day.... such serials can be repeatedly watch as it just goes on to make our days more blissful and also shows us the ethical aspects.....
I have fallen for SGP badly just hope this magic continues till the end of this show....!😳

Well said Shaunak! I adore every single member of the Kashyap parivaar. Even when they are not saying any important dialogues, their presence just brings a smile on my face. Apart from the lead pair I find myself to be equally enjoying the other characters and their side stories. These days the stories tend to become too predictable after a time that you loose interest but SGP continues to amaze us with short but fascinating twists almost every week.

The best part of the show is, they never drag one plot for more than a week. Issues like quarrels/arguments/misunderstandings are solved immediately thanks to the big hearted people of the Kashyap family who don't believe in keeping chip on their shoulder against anyone. There is no criminal sasuma plotting against the new bahu, instead we see a loving mother who embraces the bahu as a daughter and cried with her whenever she is in pain. The sister in this show is not crushing over her jiju but lovingly calls him "bhaiya".

The husband in the show does not show insecurities with his wife for having a boyfriend once upon a time. In fact he helps the wife to cope with the new household. The bahus are independent and are not expected to wake up at 5 am to prepare tea for the whole family or sing bhajans.

All in all it's a perfect show with a perfect family in it, a very realistic one in fact, with whom you can easily relate to and fall in love in no time.

Ananya.

Absolutely Ananya.........I agree with u word to word...especially the dragging part...the cv's know where they shud drag and where they shudnt...like during the wedding celebrations they dragged coz of the several wedding rituals but the fights,misunderstandings,etc,etc gets solved within a day or two😃

great post shounak...

i just like to say that i dont know much abt jasuben...but i was really very very sad that baa bahu aur baby got over...i thot it showed joint family the best...it also gave importance to all characters....and there was no such lead pair in that...
but SGP inspite of having a lead pair is giving equal importance to all characters...tobe honest i feared that they may stop showing the bajpai's after suhaana's mariiage...cos i really liked KK and sanju too..but that din happen...iam happy that they are also shown...with important scemes....
i can just say...SGP rocks...

You know I never thought I would say this, but I find this show much more realistic in depicting family values and norms than baa bahu or baby! I mean even in BBB, I had characters that I actually didn't like much...which is not the case with SGP! But that is obviously my opinion and wouldn't compare much!😳

But I agree...this is one of the thing that has got me attracted to this show that although leads are Ishaan-Suhana, each and every character is given their respected place!! And characters have differences amongst themselves but it doesn't take like a month to sort them out...it gets sorted out in like an episode or two!😳😳 Which is really beautiful and depicts that each and every family has these minor differences and misunderstandings...but that doesn't affect their relationship and gets resolved pretty quickly!

Its also amazing how this show has soo beautifully sketched out each and every character that you just feel soo close to them! I mean I can actually relate to Ishaan, Suhana, Suhana's sister, her father, rajni, disha, elesh, badi maa...and the list goes on! And if not relate, I am atleast able to justify their actions because I can feel them! The actors are soo beautiful too that this show has already made me cry like soo many times!! And that was not coz it was an emotional scene...but it was because the scenes were filled with soo much of love!!

Oh I am in love with this show!😳😳
