This week, Star Plus has achieved the dubious feat of clubbing three `K' serials into one. "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki", "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and "Kayamath" were woven into a single yarn to role out two one-and-a-half-hour episodes this past Monday and Tuesday under the grand name of "Teen Kahaaniya, Teen Raz, Do Anokhe Episodes". Well, with the cricket World Cup happening, this can be a good example of what channels do to bring back viewers.
