Surbhi
Jyoti
in
Qubool
Hai,
Drashti
Dhami
in
Madhubala-
Ek
Ishq
Ek
Junoon,
Ram
Kapoor
in
Bade
Acche
Lagte
Hain,
Baa'
in
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi,
Surekha
Sikri
in
Balika
Vadhu,...what
do
all
the
characters
played
by
these
actors
have
in
common?-
they
never
age!
With
many
television
serials
biting
the
dust
within
few
months
since
inception,
time
leaps
have
become
the
need
of
the
hour
for
many
channels.
Time
leaps
demand
the
popular
characters'
role
ending
or
aging.
But
do
our
favourite
serial
characters
actually
age
with
time?

Take
the
example
of
the
character
of
‘Baa'
in
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi,
a
TV
serial
which
ran
for
around
10
years!
‘Baa',
who
was
shown
aged
from
the
beginning
looked
pretty
much
the
same
and
in
fact
heartier
despite
the
20
year
time
leap.
To
add
to
this,
the
mothers
and
aunties
in
the
serials
become
trendier
with
age.
Will
she
look
the
same
in
the
sequel
to
the
show,
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi
2,
too?
Pratima
Kazmi
playing
the
character
of
Sumitra
devi
or
'Naani'
in
the
long-running
series
Uttaran
also
looks
the
same
and
in
fact
by
the
way
the
track
goes,
her
brain
seems
getting
sharper
with
time,
with
her
sinister
schemes
still
on!
Take
a
look
at
Surekha
Sikri
aka
Kalyani
devi
aka
‘Daadisa'
from
Balika
Vadhu!
The
serial
which
began
with
a
girl
Anandi,
getting
married
at
a
very
young
age
has
progressed
and
the
show
has
even
taken
a
time
leap
but
Daadisa
still
rocks
and
is
fit
enough
to
help
her
pregnant
grand-daughter-in-law
to
the
hospital
on
time!

Another
popular
serial
Bade
Acche
Lagte
Hain
began
with
the
protagonists-
Ram
Kapoor
aged
40+
and
Priya
aged
32.
The
show
took
a
time
leap
of
5
years
and
another
7
year
time
leap
showing
Priya
in
coma.
Post
12
years,
Ram
pretty
much
looked
the
same
and
Priya
became
more
graceful
with
not
even
a
strand
of
grey
in
her
hair!
On
the
other
hand,
there
are
telly
stars
who
didn't
have
to
play
a
mother
or
grandmother
even
after
a
time
leap!
In
Madhubala-
Ek
Ishq
Ek
Junoon,
Drashti
Dhami
plays
daughter
to
Madhubala
which
she
played
herself.
Even
post
Madhubala's
death,
Drashti
Dhami
got
to
keep
her
young
character
intact
though
bespectacled!
In
the
meanwhile,
the
serial
Qubool
Hai
too,
features
Surbhi
Jyoti
as
the
daughter,
with
the
mother
played
by
herself
prior
to
the
leap.
Only
time
will
reveal
if
Sanam
and
Aahil
too,
will
be
involved
in
a
time
leap,
and
if
they
will
also
remain
untouched
by
aging
woes!

Drashti
Dhami
Aka
Madhubala
Drashti
played
Madhubala-
the
mother,
and
Madhu-
the
daughter,
on
the
show,
so
she
was
blessed
enough
to
maintain
her
good
looks
throughout
the
show.
Ram
Kapoor
And
Sakshi
Tanwar
Ram
Kapoor
and
Sakshi
Tanwar
looked
younger
than
ever
post
the
leap.
And
with
a
glowing
Sakshi
post
the
leap
on
Bade
Achhe
Lagte
Hain,
that's
very
impressive!
Surbhi
Jyoti-
Zoya
And
Sanam
Surbhi
too,
was
one
of
the
luckier
ones,
who
got
to
maintain
her
youthful
look
on
Qubool
Hai,
pre
and
post
leap.
Sudha
Shivpuri-
Baa
Baa
of
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi...
will
never
age.
We're
not
just
talking
about
the
'young-at-heart'
thing,
her
character
shows
no
physical
signs
of
aging
either!
Surekha
Sikri-
Dadisa
Surekha
Sikri
has
been
playing
Dadisa
on
Balika
Vadhu
ever
since
the
show
started
in
2008.
And
she
seems
to
only
be
aging
like
fine
wine.
Pratima
Kazmi-
Naani
This
naani
of
Uttaran,
is
also
one
hell
of
a
grandma,
only
getting
better
with
age.
