Hindi Serial – Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – Finally Akshara and Naitik make up
On March 21, 2010 in Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star Plus, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
The change in the serial was very abrupt, since for many viewers, the concept of Naitik was a person acutely aware of his status and position; one who even though loves his wife, was able to see mistakes in her even more easily. At a time when the entire family was angry with Akshara, she needed support from Naitik the most, and it was then that he deserted her. He even told her that she was causing too much problems and tension in the house, and that she could leave if she wanted, and so Akshara did (and this was the event that shocked everybody into understanding that things were out of control). His own family had started realizing that he was getting too much into his ego, and too arrogant.
And then came the episode of Holi, where he suddenly made his way to Akshara’s house, supposedly drunk on Bhang, and then made Akshara also high on Bhangra. And then they had a frank discussion where she told him about everything that he had done that had shocked her, especially the fact that he had not supported her. Based on this entire discussion, Naitik then dragged her downstairs, where everybody assumed that things between them were still not normal. And it was then that Naitik gave the biggest surprise, telling everyone that he agreed that he was the one who was wrong, and apologizing to Akshara in front of everyone. This made Akshara feel much better, now that she realized that the love from Naitik was strong enough, and this also shocked both set of families. However, Naitik had still not helped his sister, and the question is whether he can make up with Mohit and get the happinness to his sister, Nandini by uniting her with Mohit ?
Hindi Serial – Sasural Genda Phool – an unusual marriage between 2 people of different backgrounds
On March 19, 2010 in Character, Drama, Hindi Serial, Romance, Sasural Genda Phool, Star Plus, TV
Nowadays, many Hindi serials are adopting names derived from Hindi Films. If you a remember a movie starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, set in Delhi, and called Delhi 6, there was a song in the movie called ‘Sasural Genda Phool’. The serial is set about a marriage between 2 very different people, and different settings. So far the serial has remained light, and is a comedy.
The serial appears on Star Plus, and started on March 1, 2010, and so far is relatively new.
The serial has 2 main characters (along with their family members and and friends).
Suhana (Ragini Khanna)
IShaan (Jai Soni)
Suhana is a more carefree and spirited girl, who has rejected people who have come for her marriage, to the dismay of her parents. Her family is modern, and can easily suffer her tantrums. They live in a large house, and have a lot of servants to take care of any of their needs.
Ishaan, on the other hand, is from a normal middle class family with some conservative feelings, living as part of a joint family, and working in an IT company. They meet a couple of time in different situations, with Ishaan ending up helping her, but Ishaan is one of the last people who Suhana would ever think that she would be associated with.
Ishaan starts liking Suhaana ever since he comes in contact with her, even though it would seem apparent that they have nothing in common, whether it be their different interests, or different class backgrounds. What happens next ?
Older Hindi TV serials – Sanjivani on Star Plus – an older medical serial
On March 18, 2010 in Character, Drama, Hindi Serial, Star Plus, TV
At any point of time, there can be one or more serials showing on TV that are based on the medical fraternity (with the serials being set on hospitals, on the life of doctors, and on the love life and relationships between them). One of the serials that used to come earlier was known as Sanjivani, coming on Star Plus, in the years 2002-2005. It was a precursor of the later serial, ‘Dil Mil Gaye’ (that is now coming on Star One). The full name of the serial is Sanjivani – A Medical Boon.
The serial was based on 4 main characters, Juhi, Rahul, Simran and Omi, who are interns in the beginning, having joined the hospital. The medical profession is a demanding profession, with all sorts of people in it, and the serial shows the pressures and demands that the medical profession puts on these 4 characters and the people around them, and how they deal with it and mature (including adding their own context to the people around them). The link of the serial on the Star Utsav site is this link.
The cast of the serial is:
Dr. Juhi Singh/Mehra (played by Gurdeep Kohli) – wife of Dr. Rahul Mehra
Dr. Rahul Mehra (played by Gaurav Chanana / Mihir Mishra) – husband of Dr. Juhi Singh
Dr. Umesh ‘Omi’ Joshi (played by Sanjeet Bedi) – in love with Chitra
Dr. Simran Chopra/ Mehra (played by Shilpa Kadam / Rupali Ganguly) – first wife of Dr. Rahul Mehra
Hindi Serial – Sabki Laadli Bebo – the confrontation between the real Bebo and the false Bebo (Raano) – expected in the next couple of episodes
On March 15, 2010 in Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star Plus, TV
In Sabki Laadli Bebo, Bebo had just a few weeks back come through a major problem, when she had saved her family from being implicated in charges of demanding dowry and conspiring to burn their daughter-in-law; this had even divided their family with their own son and another daughter-in-law being implicated. It was only Bebo who along with her husband Amrit managed to save them from this trouble and bring out the false case in court.
As soon as that specific time ended, the show makers decided to start another major complication, this time in terms of a life-threatening complication for Bebo. They brought in a double (somebody looking exactly like Bebo), who saw the comfortable and lovely life for Bebo and wanted it all, and since she looked exactly like Bebo, you could imagine what would happen. And so it happened, this lady (called Raano – very original names !) duped Bebo, took her near a cliff, and pushed her over. After some initial uncomfortable questions by the police, she feigned confusion and got herself out of the situation and accepted by the family.
In the meantime, the real Bebo was still alive, but you would have guessed it, she had lost her memory and was unable to remember who she was and why some things seemed familiar to her. Through a series of events, she came back to the house, scaring the fake Bebo (the real Raano) tremendously. Now, the serial is showing how Raano is trying to get Bebo out of the picture; bebo in the meantime is struggling to understand some of the recollection that she gets when she some photos, some people, and so on. I am pretty sure that in some time, she will be able to recollect more of her memory and remember what happened; and in the meantime, the people around her will start to realize something is wrong since she would recognize some things that only Bebo could know.
