Dancing queen, Prachi Desai

Ekta Kapoor's Krishna Bungalow was the venue of the bash she had thrown to celebrate the 'wonderful bliss of marital reunion' of two of her buddies, Nivedita Basu with Yadunath and Anupam with Jol. There was a third reason why Ekta wanted buddies to get together, it was to celebrate the victory of her blue-eyed girl, Prachi Desai. The three-in-one bash had the who's who of the tellyville.

The first one to walk in were tele-viewers favourite couple Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan followed by Roy brothers Rohit and Ronit.

Hiten Tejwani and Gauri
Surprisingly, the filmi brigade stayed away from the party except Bunty Walia and Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions. Karan Johar, bro Tusshar Kapoor, Neelam, Urmila Matondkar were conspicuous by their absence.

Looked like Rucha Gujarati has patched up with Ekta for she walked in with a flourish. Ekta herself was in a zippy and spirited mood, she hit the dance floor the moment she walked. She was dragging her buddies on the dance floor especially Prachi Desai. Jay Bhanushali, the other finalist of Jhalak…2 was also in his element and rocked the dance floor.

Mask Milan: (l to r) Kushal Punjabi, Chetan Hansraj, Amit Sarin, Apoorva Agnihotri

Shabbir Ahluwalia and Vikas Sethi
Ekta's new blue-eyed boy Aamir Ali was swinging with girlfriend Sanjeeda Sheikh - could they be rehearsing for the finals of Nach Baliye 3! Surprisingly her regular cronies, Ram Kapoor, Gautami Gadgil, Cezanne Khan and Sakshi Tanwar among others, either did not come to the party or left unnoticed! Ronit Roy kept to himself in one corner before Ekta dragged him to the dance floor.

Aamir Ali and Sanjida Sheikh
Mika Singh and Shabbir Aluwalia rocked the party too. Parvin Dabas came with girlfriend Preeti Jhangiani. Amit Sareen, Vineesha Arora, Apoorva Agnihotri and Shilpa Saklani came together and stuck to each other throughout. The party which started at 11 pm rocked till the wee hours.

Nothing remains forever...what goes up must come down. This is the law of nature. It won't be long before Ekta's evil empire will decline. Then she won't be able to influence outcomes of shows as she is doing now. She is ruining the credibility of shows and she is making sure that it isn't talent that wins but influence and money. 😕

is it she or is it people who watch her show soo religiously and have made her what she is today. I dont like Ekta as well ... and i would keep my reason confined, but i ask everyone, is it Ekta or people/audience.viewers who watch her and always brings her shows to highest TRPs.

People stop watching, she is already Past, but will people stop watching. So when we watch she get the popularity and clout much needed to influence any decision. Sad but true.

having said that, i still think This was dancing with starts and people were bound to vote for the star rather than the dancer. So if they voted for Prachi or their bani, it was natural. However i still think Prachi was not a bad dancer. she only got one less point that sandhaya and her attitude was way more humble than sandhaya's. had sandhaya remained humble and down to earth, people might have voted for her. i still think Prachi's win was well deserved.

Additionally, last year Mona won the contest when Shweta was a wayyyyy better dancer. Now mona was not an Ekta Heroine, but she did win. That proves the point that in dancing with starts people vote for the STAR they like and the popularity that follows the star.

May be thats the irony of reality shows ...

The issue is not about what people watch or who they like. It's ekta's interference and influencing rules and results. It has been alleged (although not proven) that she put pressure on the producers to re-instate Prachi after she was eliminated. Secondly, she put pressure on her sponsors, stars and other highly influential people to ensure (via voting or otherwise) Prachi wins.

This is unethical. As a producer of tv shows, she should have stayed out of campaigning for her star. Let the people decide who wins. Her ego is getting in the way and eroding her credibility. People are going to see this and start to resent her and THIIS will be the beginning of her downfall.
