Good news! Zee TV has finally announced that they will be returning to their regular programming this Sunday, December 7th. The strike has finally ended and the shows are just getting spicier! Can’t wait until Sunday? Not to worry, here’s a preview as to what’s in store when the original programming returns…

First of all, Saath Saath has already ended in India and will soon be ending in the US as well. Finally! This show is just messed up. The NRI Lisa can’t speak Hindi properly but neither can she speak English! It makes no sense at all. Then, in Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, Pavitra reveals the truth that she is responsible for the death of Niyati’s baby. In addition, there is another big secret that Pavitra is hiding from the family. Don’t forget to keep watching to find out. Urvashi returns in Saat Phere. We already know that Varun is evil but who is behind this? Urvashi returns to take revenge from Saloni and to snatch away Nahar from her! Banoo Mein Teri Dulhann takes a sad turn as well.

The bad news? We still don’t know what to anticipate for Rakhi and Teen Bahuraaniyaan. Any guesses! Of course Maayka, Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai, Waaris, and Hamari Betiyon Ka Vivaah continue to give us new episodes.

The time has come to say goodbye to the butterfly pallu sari. Anyone who watches Saat Phere knows that Tara, Saloni’s sister-in-law, was always famous for her butterfly pallu saris and especially the way she draped the pallu towards the front. She practically made it famous. I was wrong to not buy one two years ago when the local sari shop owner insisted I do so! Instead, I settled for a much more classic design in eggplant with kundan work. A true classic, this style would never go out. It was supposed to last me ages. Anyone who is familiar with Indian television, however, knows its influence on the mind. Therefore, I sought to get one myself! To my dismay, this overly trendy sari was no longer in style. Will they ever come back? Who knows! Instead, I was introduced to the lengha sari. It is worn just like a sari but does not require any pleating. Perfect for those who want the look of a sari and easiness of a lengha. This two in one deal is sure to last at least a couple of years so if you follow trends then it’s really the way to go!
