Karan Johar & Ekta Kapoor

If the recently concluded Gold Awards had Mandira Bedi and Aman Verma to do the talking, Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Global Indian Television Honours will see host-with-the-most Karan Johar taking to the mike. Ekta and mommy Shobha Kapoor, who are working at a break-neck speed for their first ever awards gala, has already roped in a few prominent names.

The story goes that Shobha Kapoor has already spoken to Karan and he has given his consent to the assignment. However, Ekta remains tight-lipped about her prized host and dost. A source from Balaji Telfilms says, "Karan has always been our first choice as the host. He has agreed in principle to be a part of our show."

Roping in Karan wasn't a Herculean task, as Ekta and the filmmaker have known each other for years. She also made an appearance on Koffee with Karan in the second season, along with a bunch of actors from the Balaji stable. A source close to Ekta says, "It didn't come as a surprise as Karan and Ekta are fond of each other. When Shobha aunty spoke to him he immediately agreed. We are yet to finalise the segments that he will be hosting."

If sources are to be believed Ekta also intends to felicitate Karan for his tremendous contribution in films and television. Apparently, Karan's works will be showcased during a special segment at the awards gala, which will be unveiled in December in Dubai. A reliable source informs, "Like most award galas, Balaji Global Indian Television Honours too, boasts of a bunch of special awards and felicitations. Karan is definitely one of them."

When contacted, Ekta Kapoor refused to divulge any details. "No comments," is all that she said.

wow i m not surprised to c ekta coming up with her own award... b-cus every year whenever there was a indian telly award or star parriwar award then she and her serials including her serial actors, technicians used to get the majority of the awards now it would be interesting to see how she will compete with her own serials in one category... n which of her serials is the best etc..

well,looking 4ward to this... if any newz then pleaz keep updating.. also i would be surprise if ETKA opens her own channel "the K" channel or the "Kay" channel... :)well, wish her all the best
