The Indian Daily Soaps

The present age is the age of technology. Within a span of a few clicks, anything can go viral and the whole world can get to know about it. Do you remember how Kokila Ben’s rap song went viral suddenly? Ironically, the characters were stalked more compared to when their show was on-air.

Now, most families are getting rid of their cable connection because of the loss/ degradation of content. If you might argue saying that one can hold on to the cable connection for the sake of cartoon shows and movies, I would counter by offering you OTT subscriptions.

Hence, the focus on self-improvement leaves behind no time to waste. This is unlike what is shown in the saas-bahu shows that are telecast even now. Nobody has the time nor the energy to witness impractical squabbles, scheming and rebirths! People are becoming open-minded and they now prefer watching content that is not only realistic but also fast-paced. Knowing that time is money, people are wiser and more intelligent in making the right choices and investing their hard-earned money in the right things!
