2000 was not only a new century but also a revolutionary one. A female producer took over the television world and before anyone could know it, almost all of us were addicted to her unusual plots that consist sinister vamps, ideal bahus and sons and not to forget a big happy joint family that lived in a dream mansion.
Apart from these saas-bahu serial plots, she also came up with off the track love stories that were more gruesome than happier but for some reason, they created a place in our heart. If you are a 90s kid you for sure remember how our heart sank to every car accident that ended up killing our favorite character only to bring it back with a new face, blaming it all to a plastic surgery or the reoccurring love triangles that had us wondering who is in love with who?
Ugh! All of those Ekta Kapoor shows had our mind captured and while we are now ever with all that drama, we can’t disagree that at that time, they were our favorite.
Here Are Some Of Them To Remind You What It Was Like To Watch Them:
1. Kaisa Ye Pyaar Hai

You would be lying if you would say that its title track is not on your favorite list. This show made us wish to meet a rockstar and fall in love right away.
2. Kasautii Zindagii Kay

The heart-wrenching love story of Anurag and Prerna. The seductress vamp Kamolika and lots and lots of drama. Who can forget this one? Specially Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh.
3. Kahiin To Hoga

Thanks to this one we have Rajeev Khandelwal and Aamna Sharif in our life. The hurdles of the love story of Sujal and Kashish and the pinch of the famous love song Thoda Sa Pyar Hua hai, it made us laugh and cry more than anyone can ever know.
4. Kitani Mohabbat Hai
Arohi and Arjun gave us major relationship goals. It was the sweetest and one of the most popular stories of its time. Karan Kundra owes his fame to this one undoubtedly.
5. Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-0klRpBRzA
Our own version of Vampire Diaries with a twist of Twilight effects. We may laugh at the sequences now but the truth is all of it made us wonder if we can ever come across a vampire like Abhay who would love us to the infinity and beyond just like he loves Piya.
Don’t fool yourself, you know that you too are guilty of enjoying these Ekta Kapoor Shows. Share with someone who was crazy about these shows and tag who would hide this secret from the world.
