Reddit Users Call Out Ekta Kapoor’s Cringe Serials But Nostalgia Hits Them Midway!

As a 90s kid, I grew up watching many of Ekta Kapoor’s daily soaps and that dhoom tana na music still gives me a rush of nostalgia. I have also seen my mother, aunts, and grandmothers’ love for the Indian serials. But with time, the preferences in consuming content have drastically changed. What once seemed to be interesting has now become crappy and redundant for the viewers. I came across a Reddit thread where users discussed Ekta Kapoor’s serials and how they have become sense over time. But during this discussion, viewers also parallelly talked about some other aspects of TV serials as well.

A Reddit user put out his firm opinion on Ekta Kapoor and the serials produced by her. The user stated that Ekta Kapoor should stop making senseless daily soaps that are influencing and promoting stupidity among the youth. The user gave the example of Naagin to back his point. The user also wrote that Indian TV serials are wasting their potential and should instead promote good content among the youth. This opinion gave rise to a discussion on Reddit and many people second the OG opinion.

One user wrote that the serials in the 90s and 2000s were much better in comparison to the recent ones. The user further mentioned some good serials back in the day like Dekh Bhai Dekh, Shriman Shrimati, Tu Tu Main Main, Shrarat, Khichdi, and more.
