Twitter abuzz as Indian TV turns heroine into a fly

'Sasural Simar Ka' has created a plot twist like no other

We all know Indian dramas tend to lay it on thick with dramatic pauses, repeated shots of violent slaps, and constant crying, but this particular TV show is in a league of its own.

Sasural Simar Ka has been one of India's most popular TV shows since it aired in 2011, and in its latest episode, it created a plot twist like no other, when the show's heroine Sima turned into a house fly.

The teaser for the dramatic episode ends with the fly saying, "Yeh mackhee aap ki Simar hai."

The well intended lead character Simar decides to help save a fairy by finding a cure in the jungle -- alone in the middle of the night, of course -- and ends up disturbing a guru who has been meditating for about 5,000 years.

Simar is then transformed into a fly by the guru, as punishment, and must return home to her family as a mere house fly.



Twitter seems to have had enough of the show after the bizarre plot twist.

If I would ever get a chance to meet the writers of #SasuralSimarKa , I would send all of them to mental asylum. Plz stop dis show @ColorsTV

Hopefully, Simar will find a way to turn back to her human form before her mother grabs a fly-swatter.
