The time machine of Indian serials

Easy way to see a Time Machine: Our Daily Soaps!!!

Have you ever wondered how is it like sitting in a time machine? The simplest way nowadays is to see our daily soaps, especially the K'series (Kasam Se, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasauti Zindagi Kay, etc). You never know that today the character who is 30 yrs old will be 50 yrs old in the next episode and you wonder there are no white streaks, no wrinkles, no loose skin, I mean no sign of getting old.
Our beauty parlors should take some tips from the make-up person of these serials, I am sure that the beauty parlours can make good money if they follow their steps.
I am not a very regular watcher of Kasauti Zindagi Kii but what I can understand from the trailers is that it has again taken some years leap and this is second such leap with Prerna coming up with a new hair style. But, she is looking young, a total distortion of everything that moving a few years into the future could be. Kasam Se goes on the same track, this serial took a five hear leap recently. And all this is done just to make the story line lengthy, introduce new faces, build TRPs etc.
Most interestingly, after a leap of twenty years the cars remain the same with the same number plate, the house with all the same furniture properly intact, BAA of Kyuki... remains the same, I don't know how many generations is she going to see still.
I have read interviews of channel executives, and typically the comments are to the effect that we wanted to bring a change to the serial and bring in fresh faces, hence the years gap. Earlier the jump used to be a uniform 20 years, but now it can jump as little as 5 years. Atleast some variety is there !
