    I’m a Drama Queen…But I’m the Star you Love to See! Soap Operas, Melodrama and the Televisual Construction of Female Stardom Ritika Pant Abstract The relationship between the silver screen and stardom has been the focus of academic work for several decades. Despite the post-globalization expansion in the Indian mediascape, a rapid increase in the number of television channels, an exponential increase in television programming, and a never-ending production of television stars, small-screen stardom, however, has still not received the same kind of academic attention. With the arrival of Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji telefilms in the early 2000s, the soap-opera genre on Indian Television introduced the audiences to melodramatic tales in the form of saas-bahu sagas. Kapoor’s soaps gave birth to iconic characters like Tulsi, Parvati, Prerna and Jassi whom an average Indian woman adored, identified with and often held on a pedestal higher than that of film stars. Thus, the phenomenon of stardom, once associated with film actors, slowly found its manifestation in television actors. This paper aims to understand the discourse of the star-text that emerges in relation to the small- screen through the ‘leading ladies’ of the soap opera genre. The paper will explore Volume 3. Issue 1. 2015 1 URL: http://subversions.tiss.edu/ how ‘female stardom’ is constructed on the small-screen through the melodramatic form and televisual techniques adopted in the soap opera genre. Establishing an association between television melodrama and television stardom, I will analyze how the two complement each other and prioritize the female protagonist through narrative, music, costumes and other televisual techniques, thus conferring to her a ‘star-status’.

These terrorist attacks were vehemently condemned and countries in the region reiterated their support to combat terrorism. Following the Pathankot attack, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif assured Prime Minister Modi that his country would not hesitate “to take prompt and decisive action” if the involvement of Pakistan –based elements in the attack was proved beyond doubt. Pakistan believes that certain terrorist elements are using Afghan soil. Realising the urgency to revive peace negotiations with Taliban, Pakistan facilitated a four country talks to prepare a “roadmap towards initiating peace talks”. A diplomatic tension is going on between Pakistan and Bangladesh since December 2015 when Pakistan was asked to withdraw one of its senior diplomats from Bangladesh for her alleged involvement in terror financing.
