Downfall of Indian tv soaps started here

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.

If trash had a face

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.

Must see TV

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.

IMDb Should introduce the 0/Negative rating

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.
