Hindi TV Serial - Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon - Sultan in deep trouble, Madhu's mother scolds her

The current episode ongoing in Madhubala is reflective of the fact that a serial can introduce any number of characters and do any kind of twist in the story. In the current situation, Madhu had been deceived by RK. As a part of his revenge, he plotted to get Madhu to fall in love with him, even though it meant that he provided help to her a number of times during the time period in which this was happening. Once this was done, and just when they were about to get married, he finally told her that this was all false, part of his plan to get revenge. And so he dumped her.
This was a big shock to Madhu, but she was finally getting over this and resuming her life in whatever way. In the case of RK, however, life was not so simple. He was discovering that life without Madhu was not so simple, that he missed her in every aspect of life. Yet, whenever Bittoji or his mother tried to talk to him in that aspect, he would rudely dismiss them and his ego would not let him admit that his previous action was wrong, or that he was in love with Madhu.
Madhu on the other hand was determined to get over RK, and even started working in his shooting area as a hair-dresser and make up specialist; something which was very challenging for RK. He taunted her on a regular basis, and yet when she was getting into some trouble, he was the one who came and defended her when a drunk unit member came and tried to molest her; with RK beating that person and sending him over to the police.
One day while coming back late from the unit, Madhu got into trouble, coming into contact with Sultan and his son. Sultan is a gangster with a young son, a son whom he is trying to become as much emotionally independent as possible. So, any show of fear is not expected from his son, and his son was being chased by some other gangsters. Madhu quickly realizes that she is in the hands of a dangerous man, but he lets her go easily, although develops a fondness for his young son.
RK on the other hand sees that Madhu is getting busy and starts taunting her for becoming involved with another man so soon after her break-up, including once even breaking her phone when she was speaking to Sultan's son during the start of a shooting session. Madhu refuses to tell him anything, but once RK applies force on her and manages to get the situation from her, including the name of Sultan.
On the other hand, Sultan is in trouble since an upstart wants to upstage, staging a plan of kidnapping his son and then shooting Sultan, leaving him wounded. Sultan is brought to near the chawl, although Madhu's mother is very angry at whatever happened and is very afraid about the interaction of her daughter with a gangster.

Hindi TV Serial - Punar Vivaah - Yash and Aarti planning to marry SP and Radha but ..

The presence of Akash in the house finally claimed a major victim, with Gayathri bowing out of the serial. Actually, the actress who was playing the role of Gayathri was suffering an illness and needed to get out of the serial, and so the serial finally planned an exit for her. They changed her behavior in the serial, causing her to become more and more in favor of Akash and against Yash and Aarti, to the extent that it almost seemed that she wanted to get rid of them. If anything happened, she would take the side of Akash, and threatened to throw boiling hot water on Aarti because somebody had thrown water on Akash (ignoring the fact that Aarti is supposed to be pregnant). Finally, the serial showed her dying, and this was traumatic to everyone in the house.
Now, the serial shows Yash and Aarti trying to figure out what should be next. Their father is now alone, and is still of an age where he needs a companion and there is somebody already there with whom he was in love a long time back and had a child with as well (Yash). So, both Aarti and yash come up with this idea, and decide that they will try and make this a reality. However, there is a new villain in the house, in the form of Ishita, who overhears this, and decides that she will prevent this from happening. She hates Yash and Aarti (or rather wants Yash, but does not like the fact that he is dedicated to Aarti).
So she creates a scene in the house which will scandalize everyone and prevent this sort of marriage from happening. She drugs Radha, and causes her to land up in SP's bed in her drugged state, and then brings the entire household there. SP cannot believe how this came to happen, denies any knowledge of what has happened, the same with Radha. Buaji scolds Radha incredibly, hard enough that Radha comes back to her room and wonders about what is happening to her life. On the other hand, Yash and Aarti cannot believe that Radha or their father can do something like this, and want to find out who is responsible for this.

Hindi TV Serial - Saathiya - Kokila in trouble over turmoil created by Urmilla

Ever since Gopi got pregnant, Urmilla has been pining away that this would make Gopi much more sought after in the household and ensure that everybody would pay her all the attention. This would make Rashi's position in the household much less secure, and so Urmila tried a number of her tactics to do something like this or the other. However, none of these tactics worked, and overall, what this has resulted in is that Kokila got further confirmation that Urmila was not somebody whom even Rashi should be in touch with because of all the tactics that Urmila was getting involved in.
The problem with Urmila as shown in the serial relates to her doing whatever she feels is right, which most of time does not work out right. For example, whenever she tries to do something that would increase the rights of Rashi, this would involve some form of deceit, or would involved putting down Gopi in some way. Most of the time, she gets caught and in some cases, Rashi gets involved and then gets caught.
For example, the current situation is pretty dangerous. Rashi is also pregnant, which is a very happy time for the entire household. However, Urmila is now worried that unless Rashi has sons (and she has twins), she will not have rights in the household (although one does not know what she has seen in the Modi household to believe something like this). So, her mission now is to find out whether Rashi has sons or not.
This, as most people will know is impossible in India, since it is illegal to determine whether the children in the womb are girls or boys (given that there is a strong tendency among many people, whether poor or rich, to abort their children if they determine that the baby is a girl). Now, Urmila already knows this, but still wants to go ahead with this plan, but offering money would be by implicating Kokila.
So, when Rashi is coming in for a sonography, Urmila gets a note handed over to the nurse, and the nurse is made to believe that Kokila is the one responsible for this; and things get more confusing when the nurse asks for another sonography so as to determine the sex of the babies and that is when the police come in. They have the hospital under surveillance, and catch the nurse. Under pressure, she states that this was being done by Kokila. The police do not believe a word of what Kokila says, and takes her away inspite of their being no direct evidence against Kokila. The alleged crime is a non-bailable crime, and hence it is getting difficult to get her out of this one.
Urmila is looking scared now, but since it is Kokila who is under the police custody, there is no real reason for her to worry; although sooner or later they are going to determine that Kokila was not the one responsible, and maybe Urmila will come under the scanner.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - More trouble for Aditya and Pankhuri

Seems very strange to see a good serial suddenly start turning into unending tragedy. And this is what is happening with the serial, with maybe the urge to keep the story of the serial extending on and on ensuring that the serial seems stretched now. Initially the serial used to move fast, with the storyline moving fast, and now the serial seems to be stretching the same story till its gets boring. In the serial as well, right now, it seems that we can easily change the channel and not miss the story, with sequences getting repeated again and again.
The serial right is focusing on the concept that real happiness can only come with some sorrow, that everything has to be matched. If a family finds happiness, that can only be short term, and that audiences are only attracted when the serial starts showing pain and sorrow. And so it is happening in the serial. When Avantika and Harish are coming together after so many years of separation, and when Aditya and Pankhuri are also getting close to each other, they are going through a lot of problems in the monetary and business sense.
The trio of Anuj, Sheela and Rubel, when combined with the additional power of Latika are up to more and more issues so that they can keep on getting Avantika and Aditya in more trouble and get everything back. Sheela believes that she is the true owner of everything, and that if Avantika has anything, then it rightfully belongs to Sheela. And for some reason, Avantika has sat back and let all this happen to her (which is such a wrong message to give to viewers - the Gita says that you should not let wrong happen, and here Avantika keeps on letting wrong happen to them). The character of Nanaji can see everything that is happening, and what does he do - he believes that since Sheela and Rubel will not stop, it would be easier for Aditya to move away from there so that he does not get hurt with all this that is happening. This is a perfectly wrong message to give to viewers - but so many serials show something similar happening.
In the current case, they are starting to suffer for money. Harish's account is badly depleted because of the money spent on the illness, they money is in the family business that they have voluntary handed over to Anuj, and now Avantika wants to hand over everything else to Sheela as well. The fundamental concept of having responsibility for what you are doing is gone - they were running the business and responsible to their customers and their employees, and could not care as to what would happen to these people when the running of the company is handed over to such irresponsible people such as Anuj and Rubel.
Now, when Rubel was having a party in the house, Avantika came there and confronted him, and slapped him when he went beyond a limit, and now Rubel badly wants revenge, his ego cannot take this.
