5 Ekta Kapoor Serials That Did Not Start With K But Became A Huge Success

Ekta Kapoor's fascination and superstition around the word K is not hidden from anyone. 90s kids know the trouble and hoopla around her K-series where all her show titles began with K. Kavyanjali, Kyunki, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ghar Ki, Kumkum, Koi Apna Sa, Kahin To Hoga, Kahin Kisi Roz, Kesar, Kusum, Kutumb and you can lose breath as you count them. 

But, there came a time when the daily soap queen of India ditched her superstition and took a leap of faith with show titles that didn't start from K. Here are her five super successful shows whose titles didn't begin with K. 

Pavitra Rishta

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande starrer Pavitra Rishta aired on Zee TV and their chemistry as Manav and Archana was a blockbuster for both reel and real life. 

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein

Who doesn't know Divyanka Tripathi today? Yeh Hai Mohabbatein gave wings to her dreams when she herself wouldn't have anticipated such humungous success. Karan Patel as Raman Bhalla and Divyanka as Ishita aka Ishima are still household names. Divyanka and Karan found their life partners via this show too. This is nothing less than a masala movie and that too without the letter K. 

Hum Paanch

One of Ekta's first and superhit shows, Hum Paanch led to her superstition, after which she started naming all her serials from the letter K. Hum Paanch is always ranked as the top comedy shows on Hindi TV of all time. 

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain

This was a game changer when almost every tv viewer thought that Ekta's reign was over. She came with stellar actors and a non superstitious title. It worked wonders for her and the cast without the word K! 

Jodha Akbar

Jodha Akbar, despite a lot of condemnation from historians did manage to steal TRPs on television. The chemistry between Rajat Tokas and Paridhi Sharma was a huge success. 

On a lighter note, we think when Ekta Kapoor ditched the alphabet K, it became the annoying reply for Ok. K?
