Ekta Kapoor

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. TV tycoon Ekta Kapoor has done it again. She has cut a brand new five-serial deal with Sony Entertainment which is her resident channel Star's archrival.

But Ekta has put a condition to the deal.

Her condition is that Balaji Telefilms's ex-creative head Sandiip Sikcand (who is currently Sony's chief creative director) be kept out of her ambit of creativity.

Contrary to what Sandiip has been telling one and all, about a reconciliation with Ekta, sources very close to Ekta have another startling story to tell.

According to a very reliable source from Balaji, "Ekta had a closed-door meeting with Sony's head honcho Kunal Dasgupta. They discussed many ideas for soaps and also a reality show.

"Ekta agreed to be part of Sony in a big way. But on condition that Sandiip Sikcand be no part of her shows. She clearly requested Dasgupta to keep Sikcand out. Dasgupta reassured Ekta that he might soon be leaving Sony. Ekta said she had no interest in his departure as long as he stayed out of her shows."

"After the promos of Balaji's Dubai show Khwahish went on air, Sandiip Sikcand started calling up Ekta and her associates asking for a meeting with her. Ekta reluctantly agreed and met him. She heard him out. Sikcand also told Ekta that he was leaving Sony. Ekta remained non-committal. She's smart enough to handle all this," adds the source.

Sans Sandiip Sikcand, Ekta has agreed to do five shows for Sony.

According to the above-quoted Balaji source, "By the end of the year, Balaji will have as many shows on Sony as they have on Star. Ekta has been roped in to give Star a run for their ratings."

When contacted about the supposed rapprochement with her erstwhile employee, Ekta laughs and says,"As far as I'm concerned, there never was any fight with Sandiip Sikcand. So there's no question of a patch-up."

Yeah, right!

But thats not possible because according to television rules same production house cannot occupy same slot in different channels. Thats why even though Balaji has all shows on star from 8:00 pm but still they have left 9:00 pm slot as Kasam Se comes on Zee. Then what time slot she will use for Sony. Khwaish can run as it is being slotted at 7:30 pm when Balaji has no shows.

no offense to ektas show lovers i think her shows stink all they have is nonsense drama that does not need to be show because mabey kids watch the shows too and they dont need to know all that kind of discusting drama i think she should make serials like ba bahu aur baby and thodi kushi thode gum these shows have realistic things and ba bahu aur baby is a king of show that any one can watch and learn about life and family and again this just what i think
