No Indian lifestyle story is complete without the grand backdrop of celebrations. Weddings, Diwali, and Eid are not just events; they are plot devices. These occasions bring estranged relatives together, serve as the stage for major confrontations, and showcase opulent lifestyle elements like designer ethnic wear, jewelry, and catering trends.

While those shows built the muscle memory for melodrama, the genre has since undergone a radical renaissance, thanks to OTT platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar).
