Bye-Bye Bahu:The end of an era
Three big serial stories dominated 2008: The exit of India's biggest ever serial, the rise of a child star in Balika Vadhu and then the supremacy of a unique story in Bidaai.
Here are the top 5 serials we will never see again.
This longest and the most popular show of the afternoon slot ended it seven-year run, and was one of the four maharathis which exited this year. The show could not make stars out of its actors, but was popular for its consistency. Dolly Sohi (bhabhi), Manish Goel (Tilak) and Soma Anand (Tilak’s mother) were appreciated for their part.
Mere Apne never really took off (nor, for that matter, did 9X) but it was a big effort from Smriti Irani and was therefore keenly watched. The show also had Vinod Khanna for the first time on TV to add glamour. But alas, just picking out stars is no strategy for good serials and the show ended. It was the first show that Smriti both produced and wrote the script for and acted in.
Kasauti started in October 2001 and ended a seven-year run after giving recognition to Shweta Tiwari, who became popular first as Prerna and then in real life as the battered wife of the unhinged Raja Chaudhary. Ronit Roy and Cezanne Khan also became popular with the show and their love triangle worked well. Urvashi Dholakia became famous as well with her grey portrayal of Komolika. The show ended in August.
After eight years, Kahaani ended in 2008 bring the curtain down on one of the most popular serials in India. The show had Sakshi Tanwar, Achint Kaur, Kiran Kamarkar and many others who made the serial compulsive watching. It is easy to call it the second best serial of India of all time.
Would this great serial ever end? The answer was yes, in 2008. Easily the biggest and most popular serial in India's history, it was also the one that set the trend of saas-bahu sagas that might have also come to an end in 2008 with the rise of reality TV. The show decimated all others in its time slot and made huge stars out of its characters including Smriti Irani and Ronit Roy. It is very difficult, as Smriti is finding out, to be accepted in any role other than the one these actors played in KSBKBT. The Virani family and their religious and spiritual rituals became a daily must for most of India, and with the going away of the serial, the second innings of Indian TV, after Saas- Bahu, will start in 2009.
