Ekta Kapoor
It's time for Balaji-deprived Pakistani housewives to rejoice. Cablewallahs needn't fear the police for relaying K-soaps illegally to eager janta either. News goes that Ekta Kapoor has just given them the first official Balaji soap.

"For me, the big moment right now is Khwahish, the soap that we produced in Dubai for the Middle Eastern market. We shot it on neutral land since we didn't want any legal or political repercussions. It's already been aired in Pakistan. So far our shows were being shown illegally in Pakistan. Our Kasauti Zindagi Kay is huge there. Now we've given them the first official Balaji soap. And they love it," says Ekta.

The Pakistanis are really keen to meet Ekta. And she's planning a trip to Karachi and Lahore very soon. She says, "My creative director Nivedita Basu had gone to Pakistan. And she got a very warm welcome. We held a talent hunt for Khwahish in Pakistan. The principal male lead is from Pakistan. And now Khwahish will start to air on Sony in a fortnight."

Meanwhile, Sanjay Gupta and Ekta Kapoor are getting together to produce a reality show for Sony Entertainment. "We've just got a confirmation letter. It's going to be the biggest reality show ever in the country. I can't give out more details right now. But it's like nothing that has been done so far. I've waited so long to do a reality show. Sanjay Gupta and I wanted to get it right before getting it on the road."

The Ekta-Gupta Balaji reality show starts in January 2008.

A NEW WISH

Khwahish, Balaji Telefilms successful show for the Dubai audiences is making its appearance in India too. The show has artists from India as well as Middle East. There are two Indian actors in the show, Anju Mahendroo and Sumeet Sachdev. Initially, Eijaz Khan was supposed to play the title role of protagonist Kabir Khan, but he backed out, and Sumeet took over. Priya is Balaji's new leading lady. She portrays a strong minded girl in Khwahish. The family drama is about two Indian families settled abroad.

Ekta Kapoor's serials are just crap and shit! I think her serials are liked by sony people, because she has a lot of money! Money is her only power, and if she didn't have that, people would have given her a wedgie (pull her dinosaur type panty out and hang her with a Banyan tree)and thrown her out! She is just annoying and picks my brains and she looks like she is a bhatakti huyi pret aatma of some junglee girl, living in a toilet, to save herself from Dev's Sidh Baba! Once I sent her an email in setindia.com. I wrote sooo bad about her and her shitty dramas. Then the next day, I got that email back, and it said: The Recipient doesn't like your message! 😆
