Ekta doesn't forgive easily.......its so clear that Smriti is in driving seat of this entire fun-fare........coz Ekta is doing so much of publicity......channel heads and Balaji...both have begged Smriti to come back.......👏

YEAHHH..U know INDIA TV after this press conference said that all the excuses given by Ekta to get back Smriti r nothing but the fact is that show was losing its numbers n it was like a compulsion for Ekta to get back Smriti...

In SBS today the anchor said,in press conference where Ekta was smiling n have gr8 time,Smriti remained silent n it seemed like Ekta was pleasing her to get back😉

I was reading some article few days back when Ekta said taht Smriti is not returning....and after trying out everything from weddign to wat not...she brought Smriti back..... 😆 what proof do u need...shall post that interview soon....

'Audience runs shows, not me'


Let's start with Prachi Desai. She is quitting Kasamh Se.

Yeah. Prachi is shooting with us till April 3. The hunt for the new Bani is on.

We all know how television works. There surely must be a window left open for her to come back.

No. Prachi won't come back in Kasamh Se. The show is undergoing a generation leap. She will have to play a 40-year-old woman if she returns and she won't even look 35!

Will you take her in some other Balaji show later?

I don't know. It depends on whether she will fit the role.

You leave no stone unturned to promote your actors and then they leave you...
My relationship with every actor be it Prachi Desai or Pulkit Samrat or Smriti Irani is purely professional. It's their loss if they don't understand the power of Balaji Telefilms. Some of them part amicably while some insist on making an ugly situation. Our doors are closed for those who prefer to leave on a bad note. Take the case of Pulkit. I had no problem with him till he started speaking negatively about us in interviews.

Should you have taken Pulkit's case so far?

Is it wrong that an employer has an exclusive contract with its employees? Every professional company asks its employees to serve a certain amount of notice period before quitting or else pay up. So why is so much noise made if and when our company insists on exclusivity? An actor can't get up one day and just leave a show. It's unethical and unprofessional. I am not dealing with one actor. There are almost 250 actors who work in our shows. If breaking the contract was so easy, tomorrow everybody will break his or her contract. (Pauses)

Go on...

It's just that we have some stringent policies, so that the company runs smoothly. There are 20 actors who have been loyal to us for almost eight years. How will they feel if somebody just waltzes in and out at his own will? Walking into any company should be tough and returning all over again should be tougher - that's our thought process. Our staff shouldn't take us for granted. Let's talk about something else now. I don't want to talk anymore on Pulkit. He is small fry. For me, he doesn't even exist. In my personal periphery, I won't even notice him; he is so short.

But Smriti Irani is coming back to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi?

No, Smriti is not coming back to Kyunki... For now, I have dropped the idea of getting her back in the show.

You patched up with Nausheen Ali Sardar, who had left your company on a bad note when she refused to age in Kkusum and walked out of the show.

Yeah (smiles). We were planning a special episode of Kuch Is Tarah and everyone said that we must get Nausheen back.

How did that happen? You generally don't forget and forgive...

Well, Nausheen did that special episode and refused to take any money. So, we sent her a gift and that broke the ice. When you say that I don't forget and forgive, you make me sound like Saturn's one and only reincarnation.

What kind of TRPs do Kyunki... and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii enjoy today?

Just last week, Kyunki... was the number one show on Indian television and this has been the case every week. One needs to understand that there is too much fragmentation in viewership today. Currently, Kyunki enjoys a TRP of 6+. Honestly speaking, that's tougher to get than the 12+ which we had two years ago.

How much longer will Kyunki and Kahaani go on?

I don't run shows, the audience does. I will stop these shows the day they stop watching them.
Are you saying that the audience stopped watching Kasautii Zindagi Kay and that's why you pulled it off air?
I won't deny that the TRPs of Kasautii had gone down quite a bit and moreover, I didn't have a story to tell.

What are you making for television and films this year?

I am doing a new show and I am also getting into reality shows in a big way. As for films, we have four films this year EMI, C-Company, Mission Istanbul, Once Upon a Time and we have also bought the worldwide rights of Sarkar Raj.

Rajeev Khandelwal (who also quit your company) said in an interview that if you were to offer him a film, he would say, 'Thank you, but sorry, I am not interested'

I am terribly depressed. I think that I'll start crying (laughs).

Shall post the INDIA TV n SBS video soon wherein they revealed about Ekta

Yay.....I am soo happy......I will watch KSKBT again from today.......

She must have given this interview a week back......and now she brought Smriti all of a sudden.........which means taht she was under the pressure of the Channel.....otherwise usually , if it was on the cards...she wud ahve said "ait n watch" or somethign like this😆
