'Sankraman mein bahut saare kutte hain' By: Shaheen Parkar February 23, 2006
Ekta Kapoor
• When asked to comment on her male co-star, a popular actress from an equally popular Balaji show, retorts, "Sankraman Studios (where Balaji soaps are shot) mein bahut saare kutte hain!" 😕
• A well-known character from another Balaji serial, who also wants to make a mark in Bollywood says, "I don't mind going topless if this particular director casts me as his lead heroine."
• Two popular male model-turned-actors spill the beans about the casting "ouches" they had to go through.
These are just a few samples from Ekta Kapoor's new weekly show Kandy Floss, which goes behind the scenes of both television and Bollywood.
Archana Puran Singh
Anchored by Archana Puran Singh, the long-in-the-pipeline show finally airs on Sony from March 10. The channel has given Kandy Floss a late-night Friday (11 pm) slot — not exactly prime time viewing.
Sony Folks found the content too provocative! However, Ekta was adamant.
No way: Ekta
Says Ekta, "Yes, Kandy Floss is extremely wild. The Sony folks were quite shocked when they saw it. They agreed for a 11 pm slot but they still want me to tone it down!"
Interestingly, the show, though being aired on Sony, will take a look at soaps and characters across all channels and production houses.
I can't help but wonder what they will find on KYPH. Hope there are no hidden skeletons in the closet
