Separation of Lead Jodis-Pregnancy-Reunion Of Parents: The Most Common Plot In Hindi GEC Shows

Hindi TV shows have seen a lot of love stories getting into a melodrama stage wherein an unforeseen misunderstanding forces the lead pair to separate after being bound by the institution of marriage. With the separation happening, the lead boy and the lead girl go their own way. However, the lead girl is beckoned with a situation wherein she gets to know that she is pregnant, but is faced with the sorrow of not even being able to tell her ex-husband about it. Years later, this same child acts as a catalyst in bringing the estranged father and mother together.

Does this pattern of storytelling ring a bell in your ears? Have you seen it coming more than often? Very true, this is a story plot that gets commonly used when any show needs to take a separation phase followed by a leap in time.

We look at the Hindi GEC shows that have traversed this path in very recent times!!

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai:

There was a phase in this long-running Star Plus show produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut wherein Kartik (Mohsin Khan) and Naira (Shivangi Joshi) went through a major misunderstanding, which resulted in their separation. Naira who wanted to share the news of her pregnancy with Kartik, never told him about it and accepted the fact that Kartik does not trust her anymore and walked away from his life. Naira single-handedly delivered her child Kairav, who later got instrumental in uniting the parents, Kartik and Naira.

Choti Sarrdaarni:

Choti Sarrdaarni the Colors show produced by Cockrow and Shaika Entertainment, saw the big phase where Meher (Nimrit Kaur) was accused of killing her own brother Jagga.

The leap in the story happened post which the focus shifted to Kashmir where Meher lived a life with her daughter Seher.
