1) almost all the top popular shows on this channel are produced by ekta kapoor. in fact if you make the list of 15 most popular shows on all the channels, atleast half of them will be from balaji production house. given that since most awards are won by the popular shows, it is not unusual that most awards were bagged by ekta kapoor entourage. did you really think millie or bhabhi had a chance in front of kskbt, kzk,kth.....
2) now for every actor owing his allegience to ekta kapoor....honestly i believe that ekta is very smart lady. once you work for her , you are pretty much set for life. with the number of newcomers in this field , it is very hard for an actor to maintain his foothold in this industry. ekta kapoor does not let an actor fade. once his work in one show is complete, he immedietly signs up on a new show by this production house(which keeps him on people's mind and tube countinuosly). hiten, ejaz, chetan,gauri, and numerous others have benefitted from this.some of these actors were pretty bad in starting but countinuos work gave them time and opportunity to polish thier acting skills. life outside balaji's can be very hard struggle as was discovered by nausheen and numerous others.it does not come as a surprise that these actors should owe thier allegience to ekta kapoor.
while i agree that it is disheartening to see some good shows lose in this race but one has to take it with a grain of salt.
