Hindi Serial stories real life inspired??

These days hindi soaps are showing some ridiculous story lines...where do these creatives come up with such ideas?

My friends and I were discussing and some actually believed that some of these soaps are inspired by real life stories..on the other hand some of us think that its just a fragment of their imaginations that they are using to move the story forward...

i'll give an example on where our argument started

this serial on zee tv kasamh se has all my friends discussing how much you can trust your sister these days...

Pia from the story is all nuts over her sister's husband where as she knows her sister loves her husband and vice versa. That sister who gave so much love to her younger sisters and forgot her own hapiness in order to raise them and meet their needs...

Do sisters like this really exist? do they pounce over your hubby?

i said no but one of my friends said that lots of sisters are attracted to their so called jijaji and some will go to an extent of doing a one night stand which in future might lead to something destructive...

then banoo mein teri dulhann...women actually marry a person who is mentally not stable and still start to fall in love with them...

according to me no woman in her sane mind will marry a mentally unstable person but my sister argues that women in need of money and poor people or women who have too much pressure in society to get married do take such a step...

the point is i dont think such stories happen but my friends think other wise..

please shed some views to me ..if where i stand is right...

the two shows i mentioned earlier ..are two of my best shows...and i watch them no matter what other's views might be...i landed on this debate forum in hope that i might get some confusion cleared...

yup,yup, I agree, marriage=turning a stable man mentally instable, if you already have an mentally instable man, where is the sense of acheivement😉

Infidelity, cheating, divorce, re-marriages happen in real life too but are less dramatic as in serials. You won't find a dead comes back with a different face in real life and plastic surgery is not turning Kanchi Kaul into Sai Anand. It is quite possible that a woman from a poor family is married to a mentally unstable from a rich family. It is also possible that a sister might fall for her BIL but it is not common as in serials and there are serious repercussions to such things in real life. Real life is not at all dramatic as these shows.

Preets earlier there were many serials which were quite close to life…such as Hum log and Tamash(am not sure whether the name is correct)….they were quite a hit at that time…all ekta's show is soo much depressing that I don't now what type of entertainment ppl (including my mom and sometimes me too😆) get by watching those show…Karan Johar's movies are absurd too but they are not depressing and most of the time don't get on our nerves

Tamas is one of the best TV serials to hit Indian television, there have been movie's on India-Pak partition before and after it, but none came close to the quality of Tamas

There is a scene in there where someone points a rifle at Om Puri's character, I have never seen anyone enact a scene that good ever
