Can't believe Kasamh Se is 20 years old! That show defined my teenage years. Bani, Rano, Piya... the drama was next level. Ekta Kapoor really understands the pulse of the Indian television audience. Respect for the legacy.

With all due respect to her achievements, I sometimes wish Balaji would move beyond the saas-bahu and naagin tropes. Indian audiences are ready for more diverse stories. The talent is there, the platform is there.

The throwback video is gold! It's lovely to see these personal glimpses. Also, Darjeeling looks stunning in that clip with Urvashi. Makes me want to plan a trip to the hills.

Season 7 of Naagin and still going strong. Say what you will about the plot, but the TRPs don't lie. It's a formula that works for the masses. My mom and dadi won't miss an episode.

The real throwback is Jeetendra's white shoes and that iconic dance! Our parents' generation had such different stars. Fun to see where the current TV shows get their inspiration from. Full circle moment.
