If you thought the Indian television industry is done surprising you, you are utterly mistaken. We have had Indian TV shows that have introduced illogical twists like Gorilla falling in love with the protagonist and the show’s lead turning into a fly. While many shows educated audiences with progressive storylines, few got brutally trolled for their bizarre scenes and plots. Today, we bring some of the popular shows which were trolled on social media for their plots.

Saath Nibhaana Saathiya

Remember Gopi Bahu from ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya?’ The brilliant Bahu of the house, who literally washed a laptop using soap and water. Not just that, she also hanged it on a rope to let it dry. The clip became a meme and continues to dominate the internet years after its premiere on TV.

Sasural Simar Ka

A fly that not only wore makeup but also had magical powers to fix all the woes of the Bharadwaj family. After the promo and sequence, social media went berserk. Mostly, everyone on online platforms slammed the show for going so weird in terms of content. Check some of the hilarious tweets below!

Thapki Pyar Ki

One of the most popular shows, Thapki Pyar Ki had an epic twist in the plot, where a Gorilla fell for the protagonist of the show, Thapki. We must acknowledge that the giant Gorilla gave tough competition to Bihaan and Dhruv, the male leads in the show. This sequence was also trolled by fans and followers.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

As Star Plus’ popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai began with its new episodes post the first lockdown got lifted, the actors in the serial like Shivangi Joshi, Alka Kaushal, Mohsin Khan among others were seen wearing masks and face shields on the show. In no time, netizens began to post a brigade of memes on Twitter. Many wondered if it was the new addition to their costume.

Ishq Mein Marjawan 2

In the show, lead girl Riddhima trips, hits her head against a wall, falls into a suitcase, gets trapped inside, and ends up almost drowning. This sequence went viral on social media. This bizarre scene inspired a ton of jokes on the social media platforms after it captured the attention of netizens.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein

Recently, Star Plus daily Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein, which was also number 1 on the TRP list, was brutally trolled. Loyal fans of the show took their social media account and asked the makers to end the show. Under the hastag #BoycottGHKKPM, fans were seen venting out at the makers for freely giving pass to an extramarital affair. As per the current storyline, Sai confronts Pakhi over her feelings for Virat. She asks Pakhi to spill the beans on what she feels about Virat. Sai expected an answer from Virat too. Virat stands quiet. Bhavani then enters the scene and supported Pakhi and Virat’s relationship. She also asked Pakhi to feed Virat. Bhavani’s this act came as a shocker for the viewers of the show. They feel by supporting extra-marital affair openly is delivering the wrong message to society.

Apart from these, the Sony TV show Pehredaar Piya Ki was regarded as one of the most controversial shows in the history of Indian television. The show was a show about the marriage of a nine-year-old Rajput prince and an 18-year-old princess, and caused much outrage on social media for its theme.

Well, although these shows were trolled, they grabbed maximum eyeballs. And as the saying goes, “Any publicity is good publicity.”
