In the beginning, there was not much translation work completed for Indian dramas, and Qing said she had to wait a long time for Chinese subtitles. Qing Qing, 35, who works in education industry, said she loves the actors so much that she would watch the “raw meat” episodes – the episodes in Hindi language that are not translated or subbed in Chinese yet.

Indian dramas are quite new to the Chinese audience, but they are gaining popularity, the report said. The Chinese audience is no stranger to imported dramas, especially those from countries including the US, South Korea, the UK and Japan. “Besides, the actors and actresses are not only gorgeous, but their acting skills are good.” “I love the drama because it’s a key to the world of Indian mythology,” she said.

India-China relations may have been bogged down by political differences but Indian mythological TV dramas like Mahabharat, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev and Nagin are turning out to be a big hit with Chinese audience, an article in a state-run daily said.
