While they made iconic TV shows like Friends in the West, India too had its own little revolution of comedy content on television. Dekh Bhai Dekh - one of the longest running shows of the 90s - needs no introduction. It was a pioneer of Indian comedy shows. Emotions, comedy, family, drama, a great script - DBD had it all. From the adorable little kids to the house servant Karima, all the characters were perfectly created for the Indian audience. The show was addictive and way ahead of its time. Listing down all the reasons why I loved the show would be impossible, so I'll cut it down to 10 points. Here they are:

10. It taught us to live together cordially.

Despite small conflicts, the three generations of the Diwan family lived together happily and dealt with all their problems together. How we loved to see their happy faces in every episode.

9. The show was way ahead of its time.

Sanju was dating, and so was Kirti. At a time when our parents regarded the boyfriend-girlfriend concept as 'western', it was a relief to see our favourite characters breaking the stereotype. Not only was it a breath of fresh air from the conventional serials, DBD also helped change several pre-conceived notions.
