We all grew up watching serials directed by Ekta Kapoor. Hence, we know that she is the boss lady who owns the Indian television till date. She defined daily soaps for our grandmothers, mothers and also us. With decade-long serials like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki and Kasautii Zindagii Kay among many others, Ekta Kapoor called dibs on the alphabet K a long time ago.
She revamped the whole concept of television shows in her own way with Bade Acche Lagte Hain, Naagin and many more.
You’re a sanskaari bahu if you wear a decent saree but a vamp if you have a stylish blouse and a big bindi. But wouldn’t life be less exciting and less dramatic if it weren’t for those slaps, reactions and repeated plastic surgeries?
We all love Ekta Kapoor, don’t we? Today, on her birthday, we share with you reasons why she will never be forgotten by Indian Television lovers. Read on!
1. Plastic surgeries can transform you drastically
Your voice, your body structure, everything!
2. Reincarnation is the real shizz
Because we’re Hindu!
3. You don’t have to work a single day to become rich
Because Khaandani jaayedaat.
4. At least two people will be in love with you because you exist
Your appearance doesn’t matter only existence does.
5. You can sleep with makeup on
And wake up without a smudge.
6. It’s normal for shapeshifters to exist amongst us
Snakes and mosquitos. We may also fall in love with them eventually.
7. You can go from rags to riches overnight
And we’ll never know how.
8. Crying is the only way to emote your feelings
Happy? Cry. Sad? Cry. Angry? Cry. Dead? Cry, obviously.
9. Ageing is just a myth
Don’t need to splurge on anti-ageing creams.
10. You can get hitched whenever, wherever and with whomever
*Buys A Varmaala*
11. There is no such thing as a nuclear family
My parents and my cousins, their parents and their cousins, we all live together.
12. You cannot create an impact without repeating it thrice
*Dishh Dishh Dishh*
13. If you’re popular, you’re invincible
Was Baa that popular? Wow!
14. There’ll always be a background score in life
I bet the title track of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is playing in your head right now.
