On the occasion of Children's Day, everyone is going gaga. Going
down memory lane is always amazing. It doesn't matter if you're now a
Breaking Bad, The Vampire Diaries, Modern Family, HIMYM fan or not,
there was a phase in your life when you watched Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi with full enthusiasm. Yes, you did. Dare you deny it!
So,
here's to that part of our childhood which can't be altered.
Here
are the 10 Hindi Serials We All grew up watching. Sit back and enjoy.
- KYUNKI SAAS BHI KABHI BAHU THI: We all have the title sequence memorized, and for us Smriti Irani will always be Tulsi Virani. PERIOD! We remember the scene where Mihir died, and then came back to life. We remember the scene where Tulsi killed Ansh. YES WE DO!
- KAHAANI GHAR GHAR KII: YES! Rishto Ki Puja Jaahan ho, Aadar Bado Ka wahaan ho.. Kahani Har Ghar Ki.. Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki.Even though people don't really die and come back to life every now and then in our daily household, we still loved Parvati and Om. Didn't we, people?
- KASAUTI ZINDAGI KAY: You think Vicky Donor was the one who made Punjabi- Bengali love story amazing? HELL NO! It surely was Prerna- Anurag. How can we forget Komolika? And Mr. Bajaj? And APARNA! I totally remember the Karwachauth scene where Aparna killed Anurag. Oh well, bless my soul.
- JUST MOHABBAT: Know the hot Vatsal seth from Ek Haseena Thi? He was the cutest one here. “Don't Darofy, Simply Karofy, Just Mohabbat.. Just Mohabbat!”
- HIP HIP HURRAY: Sorry to break it to all the “D3 is so amazing.” people, Hip Hip Hurray will always be the most amazing youth show ever. And all the school kids over there have just become so hot now. Phew!
- REMIX: “Na Koi Tension Lena, Naa hi koi darrke jeena!” Remember Ashi, Tia, Ranvir, and Yuvraj? Yes, Karan Wahi. YES! That time when Star One existed. This show was the coolest of the decade. Words like “D'uh!” and “Bimbo!”, yes, up from there. And Tia talking in third person. Yep. Yep.
- KAHII KISI ROZ: Ramola Sikand. That scary woman, and Shainaa. Such creepy Ekta Kapoor shows did exist back then. The title sequcnce was scary as shit. YES!
- SHARARAT: Jiya, Pam, Nani! This Disney show was the highlight of my childhood. Shruti Seth's amazing acting and Farida Jalal. It lit up my evening. The quirky magic spells,the cranky best friend and the fairy Godmother. YES! Karanwir Bohra was so beh back then. And look at them now.
- SONPARI: How can you forget Sonpari? “Dekho Aayi Aayi Aayi, Sona Sonpari Aayi..” Frooti was an annoying kid, but there was something about the show which held us on. Kruella, Remember? KaliPari.'
- SANJEEVANI: Juhi. Rahul. Omi. Simran. The show which made us think being doctors is the coolest thing ever. The cutest storyline. The cutest soundtrack. And the cutest cast. EVERYTHING!
That
was what my childhood was all about. Crazy leaps, protagonists not
growing old ( True vampires!), mindblowing soundtracks ( Ram Ram Jai
Radha Ram, Ram Ram Jai Seeta Ram! ) and a lot of memories. Yes, Ekta
Kapoor. You don't always make sense, but your shows made up my
childhood.
These
were the few shows that I remember the most. If you have more, do
