Ek K baad…

Ekta Kapoor talks about her new 'family show' which will replace Kasautii Zindagii Kay

Ekta Kapoor

After much speculation, it is final that Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay, one of the channel drivers on Star Plus, will be pulled off air. But Ekta has nothing to lose as she retains the 9.30 pm slot! The last episode of Kasautii will be telecast on January 17 and will be replaced by Ekta's, yet untitled, new show from January 20.

Ekta confirms and says, "Kasautii... is coming to an end. My new show is a love story set against a family background."

According to our sources, Shweta Tiwari's (Prerna of Kasautii...) nakhras are largely responsible for Kasautii being wrapped up. Says creative head Doris Dey, "Well, there were certain issues with some artistes. But that's not the reason why Kasautii... is going off air. It was a creative decision taken in the best interest of the show."

Doris, who is also the creative head on the new show, gives a peek into the story, "The story is based on the families of two friends. One friend stays in Punjab, while the other stays in London. We are looking at Deepak Qazir to play the man in London, and we have chosen Virendra Saxena (who played Mona Singh's father in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin) to essay the role of the head of the family in Ambala."

While Ekta is scouting for a fresh face to play the female lead, she has roped in Apoorva Agnihotri to play one of the two male leads. Says Doris, "We are in talks with Apoorva. The slot for the second male lead is still vacant. The heroine will be played by a new girl. We are auditioning many new girls. The show will go on the floors in the next ten days."

The new Balaji will be shot in Ambala, London and Mumbai.

OMG...😕 I am in a state of SHOCK. He has finally given in...hmmm and one more interesting thing. Mr Walia Aka Virendra Saxena will be playing FIL to one of the main male leads...I wonder which one...😆😉😆.

I am not in shock at all coz i knew apurva would choose to work with a production house that raises high TRP. I know most kekta show are those boring saas bahu sagaa.But at the end of the day they still get high TRP's and that really matters for any actor.After kaajjal he probally thinking to choose a high TRP SHOW.

Now this is my reaction after reading the Article Madhudi 😳

Well personally I will never want Apu to do an Elta Show 😡 but at the same time I won't mind seeing Apu in a triple Bananza Package next year 😉

Just Imagine Apu in a weekly serial in the new NDTV channel,then Apu in a Reality show in the same channel and now Apu in a daily soap on Star Plus 😃 😛 ..

So this means we will hv Apu from Mon to Sun everyday 😕 😳 because the daily soap will air from Mon to Thurs 😛 and the weekly soap will b on Fri 😛 and Sat-Sun we will hv the reality show 😛

We were thirsting to get one jhalak of Apu and now I guess we will hv an overdoze of Apu Next year 😆 😳

Madhudi Ekta shows gets all the trps and Popularity also 😳 ..And if we really want to see Apu getting all the Awards and fame then theres nothing wrong in trying out an Ekta show if the script is good 😳

And I m sure Apu just won't sign anything Rubbish ..Mayb the script is interesting 😳 ..After all Ekta is the Queen of daily soaps and we can't deny this fact 😊

And come to think of it we will get to see Apu on a regular basis na 😉 😛

Even I don't prefer Apu to do an Ekta show😡 but then if he gets fame and popularity and most importantly trps out of an Ekta show😉 then I don't mind it at all 😊

Sometimes u need to b selfish to achieve something and Apu knows only Ekta Mata Rules the roost now-a-days on small Screen and we can't deny this fact 😊

And well looks like Billo might play Apu's Papaji in this serial😉..or mayb if he plays the father of the girl then yet again we might see Apu and Billo in a Sasur-Damad Role😉😛

Thanks for the Article Madhudi😳

Why all of you are saying that he has given in? He has wanted to do a role in Ekta's shows, since he was acting in JJKN. I heard him say so in Star Plus' Holi special, where he had come because of his wife & they were interviewing all of them. Shilpa had said that though he is not acting in any of Ekta's shows, he has come here with me & immediately he said that he wanted to work for Ekta-'main karna chahunga'. So I should say that one of his dreams has been fulfilled.
Wish him all the best.
Thanks Madhu for sharing. 😊

Well I had no idea that he was interested in KEKTA SHOWS, Vimzz. One thing is certain it has done wonders for the careers of RAM KAPOOR and RONIT ROY.

I hope this serial works the same magic for him.

Oh yes I know that statement But I think that it was more out of polite decency cause he was attending SPA with his wife.I doubt wether its his' dream ' cause if I am not wrong he has been offored ekta shows during jjkn after it but he took kaajjal.But Now I guess he realises that Sony unfornutely is not doing too well so...

Well, he said he was dying to join STAR Parivar, and I guess his long-chrished dream is being fulfilled. 🤢 🤢 🤢 After all he himself said that his motivation, at the end of the day, is his paycheque. I am not surprised at all; the only thing that I wonder about was why it took so long.
