Trust Ekta Kapoor to do things differently. And she's one savvy woman too. For her new serial Kitani Mohabbat Hai on NDTV Imagine, she found the lead cast out of Facebook, the popular social networking site. After two of her most successful shows going off air, Ekta is bent on making the soon-to-be-launched Kitani Mohabbat Hai a hit. So she is getting involved in every aspect of the show, be it the storyline, scripting or casting. On the lookout for new talents, she has finally zeroed in on the boy to play the lead protagonist. Karan Kundra is an absolute fresher, but a smart one. He had sent a "friend request" to Ekta on Facebook. And to his great surprise Ekta accepted his request. Karan was thrilled to bits when he received an email from Balaji Telefilms asking him to audition for the new show right away. Since he is from Jalandhar and couldn't make it to the audition immediately he shot a video of himself on his mobile phone and sent it as an MMS to the Balaji Team. Impressed by it, Ekta made sure that the next thing Karan did was catch a flight to Mumbai for the look test. Karan Kundra is slated to start shooting for the show with Balaji Telefilms in the next few days. |
