Taking a chill pill: Ekta Kapoor

With Sameer Nair taking his 'Star' appeal to NDTV's new entertainment channel— Imagine, many from the Star TV's creative team are also being carried forward to the new place of work.

Star power

But what plans does Balaji honcho Ekta Kapoor have?

"My relationship with Star is very strong.

However, my rapport with them is purely that of a content provider.

I work on a few basic pre-conditions.

My work has to get its creative freedom and my software has to be rewarded well in terms of pay and audience.

If Star continues to fulfil these preconditions I'll definitely continue to work with them. As for the other channels, including NDTV, I'm definitely open to working with them. Anyway, I won't be cutting down on content for Star.

I'll just be working more to give software to the other channels."

Does that mean more working hours? Laughs Ekta, "You'll be surprised but I've started going out with my friends almost every night. Recently, I reunited with my old school friends. After years, they're back in my life.

Some of them are mothers, others are just married, or about to getting married. My best friend from school Shweta got married this January. And two of my closest friends Shabina Khan and Neelam are back at the centre of my life.

Earlier we couldn't meet very often but of late, we've become an inseparable threesome. I love going out to dinner with all my friends at least once in a month and then enjoy getting back to work."

Kahin to hoga?

Does that mean it is time for her to get settled? "All my astrologers say there's no man for me in the next three years. When it has to happen, it will happen," signs off Kapoor.
