Hmm.. that's a good point you raised there. This reminds of Xena & the fan wars back then. Do you remember shows like Star bestsellers/ Zee Rishtey or Tara - 5 working women sharing a flat. There was also a track about a teenaged girl kissing a married man. Then there were shows like Dekh bhai Dekh, Shanti, Isi bahane, Banegi apni Baat ,Sea Hawks ( Milind Soman R Madhavan Niki Aneja ) then was a show on indfidelity where the father- in law was getting remarried & the daughter-in-law was having an affair much like Silsila except it was a hit back then.

Had audiences demanded Saas bahus back then they would have gotten it, those shows would'nt have stood a chance. I also am in touch with viewers of those shows. Taking all of that into consideration i'm saying tv audiences were way tolerant back then. Ironically our film audience was regressive. Our generation unfortunately died out.

But i agree with your point had Twitter been in fashion back then i shudder to think what would have happened.

You've got it wrong. She's actually a huge fan of Piansh specially Daivik. Regarding those days there was fan wars going in even within Piansh group. If i remember the last argument correctly there was dissent on Adi being aborted in Piya's womb. Anyone who didn't agree was immediately boycotted. They couldn't openly attack the members. So no Deepika is not a hater of Piya or Niyati. Her Ma kali argument was yes encouraged by the fact that everyone trolled actresses who donned Ma kali avatar not specifically Niyati.

If you remember we really were bashing Ansh too much. Even Madhura protested that why do we see Piya as faultless. From that pov doesn't make her a Piya hater.

If you're talking about the Shaheer Sheikh one that's not Ekta's but Siddhart's. He really popularised Mahabharat. Ekta's i haven't seen so can't comment. Heard it flopped.

Yes our shows in 90's were really sober. I remember looking forward to Mahabharat & Chandrakanta on Sunday's.

I'm not sure what the rating system they had in 90's.

yeah Ekta's one had Anita Hassananadani as Draupadi. It is the biggest flop. She tried to modernize them. Ekta's was in 2000s.

Yeah it's reverse now. Films of 80s 90s were bad while TV was good and now Films are good - atleast good ones can exist, now tv is bad.

Nah, Yudishtir was n't, Arjun is main, if we go by books. Don't know about old show. New MB is very good.

Alisha- Was just asking Nushy about you. Hoping you are doing well, been a long time. Hugs, great to see you. About religions, tv shows seem to mess, people who have half knowledge believe and start criticism..and are concerned just to justify leads sometimes. Tv shows touch sensitive topics and mess them, so people from that religion obviously will be offended.

If any religion be it Hindu , Muslim or Christian if makers present distorted facts just in the name of creativity and freedom people will get offended. If makers have to show their creativity lots of fiction shows are there for them to show but why touch sensitive topics when they know people will get offended.

That Ekta Mahabharat shut down at 75 episodes only. True Movies of 80s 90s are all about love stories and songs and Tv was gold but now moral giving movies are made like Chicchore, mission mangal, Uri and Tv shows are all recycled product.

Completely agree, Megha.

Neither was i implying that you're not tolerant or that you were saying it because you come from a muslim background. That's like saying i don't have a right to comment because i don't come from a hindu background.

I know you didn't imply that. 🙂

I'm merely pointing out that Deepika's example is not the right one if you're talking about flaws in interpretation of religion. Whether you agree with her views or not. You noticed i only said i didn't agree with her views nothing else. She got so offended she attacked my religion as well. Was that tolerance ?

Definitely not. It's quite natural from anyone from a different religion to ask different question. Like I used to bug my friends so much. But it would be appreciated if people took it positively and clarified those topics.

Secondly the kind of rational discussions on religion you're proposing was possible in the 90's it is not now. That's what i meant by 90's tv shows & their audiences. We've all seen it that whether it is on India forums or other networking sites. Whenever religion is discussed someone either uses sensitivity as an excuse to stir up divisions or there's always room to misinterpret things. People invariably have to watch out for their words. In that kind of atmosphere is a discussion possible ? No i don't think so. I'm not arguing that you or M or anyone else don't have the right to get offended if u find something wrong. I do too. I'm arguing the point that the concept Religious sensitivity is now become synonymous to religious intolerance these days. You both brought up the topic. I'm adding my views to it.

Sad but true. Yes, unfortunately religious issues have become ticking time bombs. Personally had an encounter with an Idiot who despite explanation chose to be an ass. So all I can do is to ignore them. Why should I refrain from a healthy discussion with another friend just because someone might poke his/her nose. You are most welcome to join us.

Seeing you two so boldly discussing religion tho makes me a bit apprehensive. These kinds of conversations normally brings some backlash. Well if you guys are confident of handling it more power to you..

I know you have had bad experience and so do I. But I am positive about the current forum members and hopefully we have the decency to agree to disagree. So don't worry. 🙂

Want to add a point here regarding 90's tv shows & their audiences. In 90's era there was not much networkings sites, no instagram, twitter but now so many social sites are there, all are bashing something or somebody seems like this has become a profession now. Even such famous celebrities like Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka chopra are trolled to TV actresses kya cheeze hai. its not like 90's audiences are tolerant now social media interference has become so much that u dont know at which point u will be trolled. Even Jokes are floated on instagram on something or somebody. Want to point out Deepika here what she was saying regarding Maa Kali was OK but she had gone too overboard with her discussion by dragging Niyati and start trolling actress also that is not ok. I think she was called hater of Piya back in nazar forum. She literally hated Piya 's character with passion and even forum members were not liking that. Ekta kapoor Mahabharat was worst version of Mahabharat i had ever seen. Even now i had read one article about showing Dinosaur in Siya ke Raam and IF trolling it. In 90's era such religious distorted shows were not there, 90 era Mahabharat was gold but nowdays makers are just dramatizing shows for TRP and not sparing even mythological show that is not right. IN 90's era such TRP pressure was not there.

Couldn't agree more. 🤗

You guys seem to have had quite interesting discussions for the past two days... A pity I missed these.

About tolerance, I definitely feel our previous generation was more tollerant and had better taste.

I had read an analytical article stating in 80-90's decade, only upper middle class and wealthy people could effort their own TV set but with economical solvency, people from remote area started watching TV & unfortunately just then Ekta came up with her idea which became a trend.

I mostly agree with this.

Because in Bangladesh too, that era was the golden period in terms of TV shows and movies. You know, often I come across shows that aired even before my birth but the acting, story, direction, screenplay everything was top notch. My mother used to stay in a hostel and she would watch shows with her friends in their matron's house and once she returned to home, would narrate those stories. Now if village people were so backdated, why would they want to listen to the stories liked by educated people like my mom?

I believe back in those days, even if there were less educated people, at least in some aspects they were open minded too.

But now we so called educated people perceive ourselves to be superior and are losing the decency to accept something that might not be my preference. Rather we are more interested in trolling others for minute details.
