Desi TV soaps are a gift that keeps on giving. From someone almost choking to death via someone’s pallu, washing laptops with detergent, waking up from coma to make green tea, to making hue and cry over there not being ketchup with pizza, TV soaps have given us cultural reset moments that can only be classified as magical realism of some sort. Now, adding to the list, a viral scene from a soap shows a woman falling in love. Literally.
The scene from ‘Ishq Ki Dastaan Naagmani’ that airs on Dangal TV shows Shankar falling off a terrace, cartwheeling through air. Paro follows him, gliding through air with a Superman-style gesture before she latches onto… a kite. Which is bigger than her in size. She clings onto the kite while Shankar grabs hold of her free hand. People from the terrace look on in horror as dramatic music plays et cetera. Somewhere in the midst of it all, the backdrop changes suddenly into a forest (?), over which the entire incident unfolds.
The show creators clearly are avant-garde and don’t care much for continuity, but credit where it’s due: at least they tried to reverse the trope of the man saving the damsel in distress.
“Had a headache after watching this and fainted. Just got up to alert others now again fainting,” an Instagram user shared. Certainly an incident that fits the dramatic occasion. “I am having what they are having ????????,” said another. “RIP Physics,” commented another.
Nobody takes the principle of “love can move mountains” as seriously as Desi soap creators. For instance, in a viral scene from Saath Nibhana Saathiya, the infamous Gopi bahu can be seen injured and in a coma in a hospital. In comes her husband and starts yelling at her for doing this without his “permission” or sparing a thought about his “green tea, black tea”, clothes and meals. He yells some more, till his demands for green tea do actually wake Gopi up from the coma. Good for her?
