on koffee with karan this week,host karan johar invites soap queen ekta kapoor who talks about her winning streak,the generation leaps in her soaps,murders,and comebacks and lots more.Joining her are ram kapoor,ronit roy and hiten.
here is a sneak preview of the show.
KARAN: today you are the queen of prime time.Two years ago,i told you the
same thing.Two years later,you're even beyond that.How does it
feel to be number one?
EKTA:you know what?it has been the same.There was a sense of
complacency,which had come into the medium a couple of months
ago when there was no competition and we were doing well. But
now,suddenly,with zee coming up,it's becoming tougher to be
on the top.But the fun,aggression and the competition that tv has now,
its only going to get better and more fun.
KARAN:Ronit,you are the blue-eyed boy of balaji.You are practically in
every show.With grey hair in some,without grey hair in the
other.You play all kinds of ages,stages,rages!
how is it working with ekta?
RONIT: you know there was a point in my life where there was a lot of
alcoholism. One evening,this friend of mine called raj, who was
looking after my work,came home after meeting a producer.I asked
him,"what did he say?" so he went and fixed me a drink and said,
"let it go , we just had a chat". so i said, "no ,tell me! im a big boy;i
can handle it".He said why should i cast ronit when i can cast any
junior artist with more talent and less money". And i thought,
"yeah,may be iam done", And then ekta came along and i said to myself,
"no,i'm not!" At that point of time, karan,i really did not know which way
to go. so that's why i always thank her. she has brought a dead actor,a
dead humanbeing, she has resurrected me.
KARAN: Hiten, you are a young man today. you are in your early 30's
but you are playing what,a 50 year old man in one show and who knows with another leap,you will be 80 soon.
