Effect of accidents in TV serials

Well, this is not the end to the list of plastic surgery’s in serials. Television has witnessed several such examples. Ram Kapoor who played the role of Rahul in 'Ghar Ek Mandir' was also a victim of plastic surgery and here, a healthy Ram Kapoor transformed into a slim Ashish Kapoor! In 'Kutumb', the antagonist took advantage of the death of the protagonist Gauri, and Amita got transformed to Gauri Pradhan! Recently, the same happened with the character of Anurag Basu in 'Kasautii Zindagi Kii'. The role was earlier played by the handsome Cezanne Khan and is now played by Hiten Tejwani. The list is endless.. The question that arises is – how can the voice, body structure and also the height change, when a plastic surgery is performed on the face?! In serials, post-plastic surgery, not just the face..but body type, voice & everything changes! Is it due to the fact that doctors in serials have had an over-dose of plastic surgeries, as they have to perform this operation on every other character in almost every other serial? Kudos to these doctors!! Wondering where all this started? Just rewind your memory and you will recall the character of Jyothi, played by Rekha in the film 'Khoon Bhari Maang'. In the film, Rekha remained Rekha, before & after plastic surgery..with just a few changes to her face structure. But serials have taken things 10 steps ahead!

Accidents in serials not only account for plastic surgery, but memory loss as well. Usually the character is shown dead, and suddenly found alive somewhere, living with a different family..which creates more twists and turns in the story line. It all started with the 'death' of Mihir of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Mihir's death caused nationwide hysteria amongst fans who demanded the return of Mihir. What followed was memory loss of Mihir, wherein he started living life as Amar with his doctor, Mandira who gave him his new life. And thereon, the saga continued... Kumkum of 'Kumkum-Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan', also had to go through this 'memory loss' phase, after she met with an accident. Pari of 'Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki', Addy of 'Parivaar', Om of 'Kahanii Ghar Ghar Kii' are few of the victims of amnesia. The list is really endless. There is also a variation to memory loss. Sagar of 'Banoo Main Teri Dulhan' and Abhay of 'Kkusum' started living the life of a kid. All they remembered was what they were when they were a child. Interesting part is, that all these characters regain their memory and that too, either from the same place or replicating the incident which caused their memory loss.
