Everything about her evokes interest. Be it her soaps, her penchant for numerology or the beads she wears. Ekta Kapoor is normally a delight to interview as she makes great copy. But at the launch of her new soap 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil' it was a surprisingly very quiet and subdued Ekta. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Tell us a little about 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil'.
This story is about two lovers. I would describe it as an ethereal story from my heart. The show is bound to ignite the magic of love and romance on television. I hope the viewers enjoy watching it, as much as I have enjoyed making it.
It seems to be the same old love-story or say old wine served in new bottle?
I think we all have the same old stories that we get to see again and again. What makes it different is its presentation and characters essaying the roles. I am not deviating from the fact of my new show being a love story. But it is a more passionate and younger love story.

Your shows including 'Kasturi' have not been doing well off late?
The reason for my certain shows not doing well as per the expectations is that they were aired on not so popular channels. But all my shows airing on different channels have been the top shows. Be it 'Kya Dill Mein Hai' on 9X or 'Kuchh Is Tara' on Sony. I can't create magic or shows that will shoot up to a TRP of 20. Even 'Karam Apna Apna' is the top show in the afternoon slot.
Why have vamps been an inevitable part of all your shows?
The vamps on our show are for the tadka. Time is the real vamp on our new show. You will see star crossed lovers drifted apart and pulled towards each other by destiny. As far as vamp required for giving tadka Tassniem Sheikh has done the needful.
