Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

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.

This is the highest trp gainer serial. Best serial ever

Trash. Pure trash. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was not just melodramatic - it was regressive and damaging. It pushed toxic family dynamics, rigid gender roles, and endless superstitions, all wrapped in flashy sarees and slow-motion stares. Everything was black or white - no shades of grey, no space for nuance or realism. Women were either perfect bahus or evil vamps. It dictated values instead of reflecting society. Sadly, it influenced how millions saw family and culture. For those who crave layered storytelling - this was a frustrating, never-ending circus.

Never going to recommend anyone to watch this.

I was so relived when this show was called off. the way it took generation leaps this show must have started its story from 1900. but it all revolved in mobile eras.... LOL..LOL..LOL. so many generation in one show. creators r mad n has spoiled the serial essence of India. now I search for some good stories here n there. but all comes back at the same track. even in Wikipedia there is no full list of actors. so may Mihir Viranis, some characters were missing by the end of the show. No one knows what happened to them. plastic surgeries r another way to replace actors... huh how did it manage for so long is a question. its all because of Stupid India rone dhone wali women. now star plus has no good story line in any of their shows. somehow i think Sony has some better shows.. lets see.

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.
