Naagin, witches and magic: Another daily soap Kaleerein goes the Sasural Simar Ka way? 

Indian daily soaps are not done with supernatural as yet.

Pavitra Punia plays Vishkanya in Kaleerein.

Indian TV shows never fail to surprise us. Looks like history repeats itself. While in the past a family soap like Sasural Simar Ka (SSK) out of nowhere went the supernatural way and introduced ichhadhari naagins, dayans and not to forget a makhhi. Looks like it's now Zee TV's Kaleerein's turn to feature bizarre twists and turns.

The show seems to have taken inspiration from Sasural Simar Ka and interestingly it is aired at the same time as SSK.

Recently, actress Pavitra Punia made an eerie entry in the show, where she was seen hanging upside down from a tree. Vivaan's (Arjit Taneja) foreign- returned stepmother Roma (played by Shilpa Saklani), who sees her from her window mouths the most cliched line ever - aajtak suna tha India is land of magic, aaj dekh bhi liya. (Had heard that India is a land of magic, got to see it too)

This is how Pavitra Punia entered Kaleerein.

Pavitra plays a vishkanya in the show but looks like the writers got confused between a vishkanya and a shape-shifting snake woman, as Pavitra doesn't just spit venom but can also change her form.

Vishkanya, who's fallen for Vivaan, captures Meera (Aditi Sharma) in a glass jar, takes her form and tries to seduce Vivaan. But the venomous Vishkanya seems to be all feeble, when she had to face the power of a married woman, who quite easily defeats her.

Vishkanya captures Meera in a bottle, just like a genie.

At the end of the whole drama, Roma nicely sums up the sequence for us and says - Yeh sirf India mein hi ho sakta hai, jahaan suddenly ek vishkanya appear hoti hai. Bahu ke saath ladti hai, bahu suhangan suhangan chilla kar vish kanya se jeet bhi jaati hai. Waah mera India, the land of magic. (It's just possible in India, where suddenly from nowhere a Vishkanya appears. Has a tussle with a married woman, who shouts suhagan-suhagan and wins the battle. My India is simple awesome, the land of magic.)

But what Roma forgot to mention is Indian TV shows are awesome and anything and everything is possible here.

This is not the first time, when something so bizarre has been shown in the show. Earlier, the show has featured things related to black magic and has shown something called 'saleda jogan', who abducts to-be brides and sacrifice them to gain power.

Dear makers, spare us the horror, please!
