Switch channels and more recently, Mohan the young crime reporter of Na Bole Tum, Na Maine Kuch Kaha on colors, has started to fall in love with Megha and the TRPs have stayed steady at a healthy 2.0 for weeks. It’s a romance with a slight difference. For Mohan is a young man , while she’s Mrs Megha Vyas , a widow with two small children.

Now Indian television trying to cast the reality of the world as the story line are taking on everything like middle age love stories, remarriages, homosexuality and blah blah! And playing different kind of themes and coming closer to the realities of the modern India. So, Parvarish on Sony TV with current TRPs of arround 1.6, offers a slice of life by portraying the conflicts that arise between three generations of a family. The TRPs for Bade Achay … were at 2.7 through june 26 and peaked to 3.1 for the June 26 episode as an earlier episode had hinted at Priya’s pregnancy. Balika Vadhu on colors too continues its long run with high end  TRPs which have touched 4.0 in june ever since romance begain to bloom.

A clutch of new age women is emerging on television  like the ambitious Saanchi Mathur in Ruk jana nahi… the headstrong priya in Bade achhe lagte hain, the young but efficient Dr. Nidhi Verma in Kuch To Lok Kahaenge , who is in love with a much older man.

Take the case of Ammaji in the popular Na Aana is Des Lado on colors who has envolved from actively wncouraging female infanticide to championing women’s causes, now serials are reflecting the fact that besides maintaining the work home balance , women continue to be the backbone of the family. The serials have also relocated from metros to smaller town and lesser known villages of India, Balia, Bulandshar,Vanarashi, Bhopal are formaing intergal part of the stories. So while Sony’s Kuch to log kahenge is based on Lucknow , Na bole tum, Na mainy kuch kaha is set in Bhopal.
