Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi...

This is the highest trp gainer serial. Best serial ever

I wasn't a viewer of the show, but that didn't stop me from following on and off the details of this abysmally bad garbage, because people around me were tragically involved in this show. So, whether you watched it or not, avoiding it wasn't an option.

This show had had too many generations, too much drama, too much cringe that the makers needed to be sued for taking the intelligence of the normal crowd for granted.

The only positive thing I can think of is the actors. Some of the actors are really very good. But with the deranged state of Indian TV, all the talent goes out the window.

One of the best shows created with talented actors. Watch out for Smriti Irani best performance. Starts off amazingly but drags in the last few years.

This show is so pathetic that it deserves 0 on a scale of 1-10.

The show ran for 1833 Episodes and took time jumps 3/4 times. The basic concept of the show is that mother-in-law was once a daughter-in-law. The show revolved around a very large Indian Joint Family with typical day-to- day family problems amplified n times.

As poorly directed/scripted the series was it had a dedicated fan following of Housewives across India. It was series with one of the highest TRP for some time and thus Kyunki inspired more than 30 TV series in the same genre and stereotyped almost all the show produced for next 10-12 years.

I love this show like a member of my family. The show has touched on so many aspects of real life (well they had 1833 episodes to do so), and is a very interesting everyday show. It has maintained the highest TRP in the history of Indian TV. I have watched the show over 3 times. The stories of each characters and so well developed. It is like taking a journey of 50 years with a family. It is a piece of art. As you watch the show, the characters become a part of your life. The emotion, the family bonds, the traditions, the relationships, the melodrama.....it's all included in the package.

PS: And before anyone bashes me calling me a "typical Indian woman", I want to make it clear that I am a man and NOT Indian. I still love this show and have been watching it since I was a kid.
