Ekta Kapoor's most recent brainwave involves bringing together the characters from two of her favourite soaps on Star Plus-Kavyanjali and Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki — on June 19. The special episode will feature the entire cast of the two soaps and will also have guest appearances by actors like Shweta Tiwari, Aamna Sharif and Sai Deodhar, who play no part in either of the serials.
"We've brought the two soaps together once before," says Ekta Kapoor. "It will be called 'One Episode Two Dramas'. In the first drama Parvati from Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki (KGGK) will discover her husband Om's killer through Kayva (from Kavyanjali). The other drama will have Parvati bringing Anjali (from Kavyanjali) face to face with Kavya's look-alike. It's a very carefully crafted episode."
Sandeep Sikand the creative head of both the soaps is working overtime to ensure this fusion episode goes off without any confusion. "Characters from both Kavyanjali and KGGK have to look as though they know each other and are aware of the problems in one another's life," says Sandeep. "We are working towards merging the two soaps have effortlessly."
