18 Years Of Kasautii Zindagii Kay And Kutumb: Ekta Kapoor's Two Shows That Busted TRP Charts
Ekta Kapoor took fans a trip down the memory lane as her iconic shows - Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kutumb – celebrate their eighteenth anniversary!
Today’s all about feeling nostalgic, thanks to TV czarina Ekta Kapoor. It was eighteen years ago from today that she had launched two of the most-watched daily soap operas – Kutumb and Kasautii Zindagii Kay. While the former aired on Sony TV, the latter used to be shown on Star Plus and, mind you, both the shows helped in raking some of the highest TRP ratings any TV show had ever seen. Kutumb revolved around a couple that lived amid a joint family and it starred one of the most admired telly couples, Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan.
Kasautii Zindagii Kay, on the other hand, was a complicated love story and featured Shweta Tiwari, Cezzane Khan, Urvashi Dholakia and Ronit Roy in the leads. It was the show that made all these actors household names and is among one of the most record-breaking shows in the history of Indian television. Taking to her Instagram, Ekta Kapoor expressed her happiness and gratitude and these shows’ eighteen anniversary. She shared the OST video of Kasautii Zindagii Kay and penned a long heartwarming caption.
