An Evergreen Vogue : Turn Sisters Into Sisters-In-Law


The TV world is known as a religious follower of a trend. A fashion started today will be followed by numerous writers for ages.

If I am not wrong this idea of two sisters turning into sisters-in-law was brought up by none other than the Daily Soaps Queen ‘Ekta Kapoor’ herself in her show ‘Kundali’. When the sweet and loving sisters ‘Aarti’ (Nivedita Bhattacharya) and ‘Vidhi’ (Prachi Shah) became sister-in-law that too the elder became younger and younger turned into elder; the audience was quite amazed and shocked at the same time. This concept garnered lots of TRP’s to the channel as the audience could do nothing but stay glued to their TV screens.

This fashion abandoned for some time came back in action again when the renowned producer ‘Rajan Shahi’ gave birth to ‘Sadhna’ (Sara Khan) and ‘Ragini’ (Parul Chauhan). The magic was once again spread on TV screen by these soul sisters. Destiny and the script writer together turned these soul sisters into sisters-in-law again younger becoming elder and elder becoming younger. The show ‘Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai’ was undoubtedly a massive hit. The show still has a great fan following and the fans still hope for a sequel for the serial even after almost 1 and half year of shutdown of the show.

After Bidaai, this trend had no looking back. Writers one after another used this concept in their story. The serials which initially didn’t have this element in them also brought in this concept to attain some TRP’s.

Color’s show ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ is one perfect example to prove this. A story which was supposed to be a light hearted comedy also adopted this vogue so as to lead the TRP charts by turning the sweet and chubby ‘Roli’ (Avika Gor) into the elder sister-in-law of calm and lovely ‘Simar’ (Dipika Samson).

The Story does not end here. The very popular and in-demand show ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon’ was also seen to have followed the same path when the sisters ‘Khushi’ (Sanaya Irani) and ‘Payal’ (Deepali Pansare) got married in the same household and became sisters-in-law.
Another show ‘Sasural Genda Phool’ also could not resist itself from using this vogue and thus in its last episode the sisters ‘Suhana’ (Ragini Khanna) and ‘Sanjana’ (Tapeshwari Sharma) fulfilled this trend by getting hooked up as sisters-in-law.

These were a few examples where the sisters didn’t remain sisters so as to bring in the TRP’s. But the interesting fact to look forward is that whether the serial solely made for the sisters will also diverge the sisters into sisters-in-law or not.

Made for one another ‘Jeevika’ (Krystle Dsouza) and ‘Maanvi’ (Nia Sharma) share an inseparable bond. This serial ‘Ek Hazaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’ has generated a place for itself in the hearts of millions in very short period of time. The show is immensely popular among youngsters, females and surprisingly males as well. The show is doing well as of now and the credit goes to the new approach being put, simplicity, no high drama and last but not at all least the blood tie of the soul sisters. But the question is that whether these sisters will also change their relation. Well the answer is quite obvious as already the brother-in-law of Jeevika is in love with Maanvi so we can soon expect the changes following this story as well.

The Vogue started by the queen of Tellywood has been followed religiously and will be followed for years. Let’s wait and watch that which serial becomes a hit and which serial becomes a miss despite adapting the ever green trend.
