K serial species
Women watch and adore them day in and day out. Youngsters feel it’s a dimag ko shot while the men have no other option but to sit idle and stare in front of the TV as all the channels have to tell the same kahanis. Whatever, you may like it or hate it but you somehow come across these idiotics on the idiot box. So next time you tune into a K serial do check out these ‘alien’ species.
The Bahurani alias Acchayi ki Murti: She is the sati savitri of the house who can do no wrong. Is the aankhon ka tara of everyone from the chonu monus to the dadajis and dadijis. Is the only member of the family who worships God as all the others worship her! Her specialty is she will always be seen engrossed in make up no matter what the situation is -even if her husband dies or she is admitted in the hospital seriously injured. In short, she is the one-woman show of the serial.
The Female Ravana: she is the total opposite of the above-mentioned species. Is hated by one and all in the serial. Her bag of tricks range from stealing the bahurani’s Nirma washing powder to conspiring against her husband’s sister-in-law’s daughter’s naukarani. A typical characteristic of this species is she often lets her antaratma speak in the serial and can hardly ever be seen opening her gandi zaban. She also has a terrible latka jhatka to give taal to the background music during her entry in each and every episode.
The Side Hero: Completely in awe of his wife, this guy is a dhaba on male domination. He is like a bheegi bhili in front of his wife and heeds to every advice of her without blinking an eye. Is in the serial only to give diversity to the female dominated family. He is killed twice and yet comes back alive! Married thrice and still not sure who his life partner is. Poor guy, even a 20-year leap cannot solve his problems.
The evergreen Dadijis and Nanijis: These Rekha fanatics, they never grow older, never fall sick and guess what never die even if the serial takes a 20 year jump and another 20 year jump and another 20…. Seems like Dabur Chawanprash really works. Their only role in the serial is to give aashirwaad to every aira gaira nathu khaira in the family, which is such a huge one that they have no idea in what way all of them are related. But then are least bothered as they are too busy taking care of their make up even at this age. Applying wrinkle free face cream is their favourite time pass.
They ever loving, ever caring Namak Halal: He is the old budha whose family is serving the household since seven pushtas and he is only carrying on the prestigious tradition. Is never seen doing any work in the house. His main job is to shed 10 liters of crocodile tears every time an untoward incident takes place in the family. Comically, all the members of the family are seen consoling him as if he is the one who’s maa baap bhai behen has died. His overacting will put even Chunkey Pandey to shame. Is in the serial to extend the duration of the show as the scriptwriters have run out of other ideas.
