Kahani's Pranay denies being chided by Ekta

We recently heard that Ekta Kapoor is not too pleased with Jeetu Malkani's (aka Pranay of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki) acting skills and fires him whenever he is around. Apparently, she calls his acting 'woody' and has even accused him of ruining her show.

Kahani's However, when contacted, Jeetu denied the reports. "I don't know from where you get all this stuff. Ekta never yelled at me. Of course, I have received calls from the production house to improve on some of my scenes but that's it."

Jeetu shares screen space with Sakshi Tanwar, Mita Vashist among others and has a strong character in the serial. He is currently working only in Kahaani. "I have a contract with Balaji according to which I cannot sign any other projects and I will not like to do them also."

We spoke to some other new actors of the same soap on the issue.
Archana aka Pragati
Jeetu was never fired by Ekta. Maybe he must have received a call since he has a central character in the serial. I have never met Ekta personally or professionally. Once I received a call from the production house in which they appreciated my work. Ekta makes the actors understand about what she expects from them. After that, if she is not satisfied, then she scolds them and this is the common yardstick for everybody.

Mahesh aka Batuk
"Ekta sets par bhi nahi aati hai. Then how will she fire Jeetu? She does instruct her characters - hume bhi data hai and nobody is a perfect actor. All these are rumours and one should ignore it. We all are not in school that we will be scolded and anyways you aren't going to learn acting this way. Ekta only guides us all. Luckily I never received any calls from the production house so far and I hope I will not. Ekta spends crores on these soaps and she expects good work from everyone. If she is not satisfied then she pulls the person to a corner and explains what she wants. Something similar must have happened to Jeetu.

Shalini aka Maitali
Maybe Ekta was not happy with his part and so warned him in a strict tone. I don't know much about this incident; it's between the two of them. Ekta is the captain of the ship and she has set a benchmark for all the actors. If she is not satisfied with our acting, she notifies us about it. Nothing is done in a rude manner. We all receive calls from the production house sometimes for meetings, sometimes for changes in our characters, and such things. Personally, I haven't received any calls as such."
