10 Things Only Ekta Kapoor Serials Have The Nerve To Teach You

In India, Ekta Kapoor has been Goddess of Small screen since ages now. Be it Kasauti Jindagi kii, or Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she has made her audience laugh, rejoice and often cry with her unexpected twists and turns. People might criticize, but she has been able to glue the audience to television sets. From her special liking for the letter ‘K’ or her chemistry with her co-stars, there is lot to talk about her. But what makes her entirely different from the rest (and perhaps, the most successful lady too) is her love for ‘some basic lessons.’

1. Immortality is truth

She has always taught us that one can be lucky enough to see their great grandson busy preparing for his son’s wedding! No, you are yet to attend weddings for 4 more generations, in the same bloody wheelchair of yours. #Sigh

 

2. You can marry anyone, at any time, without any legit reason

“Hi, where is your wife?” “She’s probably attending her third wedding. Meet my new wife!”

 

3. Life is real complex; living simple is a myth

Mr Y is in love with Ms A, but he gets married to Ms X because Ms R, who happens to be his mother, is sick. Ms X is the ex-girl friend of Mr Z, who apparently is the cousin of Mr Y, who is dating Ms B at present. Ms B always wanted to get married to Mr Y, but ended up loving Mr Z. Yes, it is true. Mr Z and Ms A are now husband and wife.

 

4. One can be forever young and up- to- date

Lipstick- Red
Jewellery – Ah, matches the bride I saw the other day
Saree – crisp Kanjivaram
Age –Sweet 50
Hey, EUREKA Ekta, can we get some more?

 

5. Big bungalows + Heavy jewellery = Still poor

I think we all need reservations…Oh god, we are so so so poor? God: ditto!

 

6. If you have a dead relative, don’t worry, you can find them someday, alive

*Comes home broken after having burnt the corpse in crematory*
*Meets dead body at a mall 5 years later, laughing carelessly at apparels*

 

7. Being a perfect bahu should be the ultimate goal

A perfect Bahu is the one who gets up at 5 a.m., does morning prayers, cook millions of dishes for one meal, and also does daily household chores like dusting, cleaning and washing dishes. And she still manages to look extremely fresh and presentable.

 

8. If you have a younger (beautiful looking) sister, she might fall for the same guy as you – because the world is too small

Spare me pls.

 

9. One should learn how to cry well; it helps emote every emotion you’ve ever had

Hey, I’m feeling sad. #LetMeCry
Oh God, I’m so happy! #LetMeCryALittleMore
Can I cry? I think I’m angry.

 

10. And finally, you can go from rags to riches overnight, literally

Day 1- I m poor, I don’t have money to afford hospital treatments.
Day 2 – <magic happens> I am rich, I own all my enemy’s companies. Yassss, bitches.

But whatever it is, we all love you Ekta Kapoor for giving our daadis more hopes about living till the end of time. That’s totes cool of you.

Now, excuse me while I run off to watch the repeat of ‘Yeh Mohobbattein’ for the 4th time.
