MUMBAI:Kitchen politics, at one time, ruled the television screens. A good bahu who is troubled by her mother-in-law and at the same time has a sea of problems with a vamp trying to steal her husband away was something which the audience was hooked to.
These serials had a joint family setting and were immensely loved however, in the past few years, we all have got freedom from those boring 'saas-bahu' stories. When one talks about the small screen TV industry, the only thing we can imagine is a mother-in-law troubling her daughter-in-law or vice versa and just the drama. However, the content of TV is now changing to something different.
We have shows with some refreshing storylines. These stories give us a new view of looking at things and also give us some impactful messages; this also keeps the viewers attention intact.
