saga of the 'K'

just the other day, Ekta Kapoor, the queen of daily soaps was on koffee with Karan. and it is that very inane chat that compelled me to write about her so called 'work' (with due regard to all the people who appreciate it)
open curtains, the scene is that of a middle class family talking about their simple daughter's wedding, a scene that almost every middle class family witnesses, but what is the difference here? the mother is sitting at home dripping with diamonds and dressed in a kanjeevaram.. seems familiar? you bet it is, this is a scene right out of a K serial.
K serials, where the middle class lives in bungalows even the Ambanis don't live in, where houses remain clean without any servants and inspite of women who don't do any household work, where plastic surgeries are doled out like candy, where people are immortal (read kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi), where women come up with the most complex of revenge plans, where women go to bed with perfect make up and done hair, where businesses run successfully even though the so called CEO's party all the time..
this is the the world created by Ekta Kapoor, a world she says exists and people relate too. she's right in saying that the middle class has problems that are common to each family. but she has made a mockery of this. all she has done is glamourised everything and showcased fashion jewellery.
all her serials go down the same old beaten path. she thinks she can sell this way. her work is uncreative, repetitive, boring and lacks any sort of clarity.
K serials are to Indian television what Karan Johar movies are to indian Cinema..
but let me point out, this is entirely my opinion and a statutory warning to all the people who wish to watch the K serials!
