TU TU MEIN MEIN

A part of the mainstream comedy of the early ‘90s spilling over into the late nineties Tu Tu mein mein become too popular to handle,so much so that it become a regular term,a jargon to describe all quarrels, be it among the family members or even the distinguished politicians of the nation. It had warring mother- in- law and daughter-in- law combination played by Reema and Supriya Pilgaonkar. The serial was directed by Sachin. Ritika Bhatia laughed while recalling one of the episodes of the serial,

“The mother-in-law acts as if she has fallen ill and tries to pester the daughter in law, but at the end she ends up realizing how much she actually loves her daughter-in-law…my mother-in-law and myself, we would always sit together and watch this show and later on had long, funny conversations about it. ”

Ever since the ending of Nukkad and Yeh jo zindegi hai, viewers had been craving for intelligent comedy on the small screen. What they got were dumb scripts and dumber performances. But what’s stood out among the mediocrity was Tu Tu Main Main, the longest running comedy on Indian TV.

That was the first saas bahu serial that was pristine in its ways of capturing the moments of generic bickering and the unique love-hate relationship.

The series had won awards for three consecutive years.
