Scriptwriters on Indian television seem to prefer moving to new shows rather than continue writing on existing soaps. Justifiably, because it must be truly difficult to come up with more battles with in-laws and family woes surrounding the same characters.
The last few months saw a host of new soaps flooding the channels. While some of these tread safely melodramatic formula, others have captured audience imagination and rapidly climbed the TRP charts. In case you're wondering what to watch, here's a crash course on the Top 10 new shows:
Karam Apna Apna
Channel: Star Plus
Time: Monday-Friday, 9:30 PM
Ekta Kapoor's fascination with Bengali families continues in the latest from the serial factory. And why not? After Kasauti Zindagi Ki's super success, it seems to be Karam Arna Apna's turn. The show is the story of Gauri (played by Pallavi Subhash) -- a small town girl who goes through a lot of hardships and finally comes out with triumphant colors. The serial is truly different from the usual stuff dished out by Balaji Telefilms, and that's perhaps the reason it's gaining popularity by the day.
