5 Iconic TV Shows By Ektaa Kapoor

Hum Paanch

It all began here. A quirky family comedy with five wild daughters, a flustered dad, and a portrait of a dead wife that spoke, Hum Paanch was India’s first taste of Ekta’s ability to blend chaos with charm. It made us laugh without trying too hard, and gave the 90s their first truly iconic TV family.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay

The red dupatta, the rain, the star-crossed lovers, Kasautii was pure heartbreak served in slow motion. Ekta’s storytelling turned Anurag and Prerna into household names, and the show’s title track became a national sob cue.

Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii

Ekta redefined the idea of the Indian household with this one. Parvati bhabhi wasn’t just a character; she became an ideal. The show was soaked in sanskaar, but never felt boring. It captured the emotional tension of family life in a way that felt personal yet epic.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

The OG of Indian soap operas. Kyunki not only dominated ratings, but it also dominated the dinner conversations as well. With Tulsi at its centre, Ekta gave us a matriarch who was both fierce and fragile. And that title track? It still plays in our heads when someone mentions ‘mandir scenes.’

Kasamh Se

With Kasamh Se, Ekta took a more emotional, almost poetic route. Bani’s story was rooted in love, betrayal, and quiet strength. The track was haunting, and the drama was heavy, but for young viewers learning to navigate emotional depth, it struck a chord.
