Betaab Dil Ki Tamanna Hai, Ekta Kapoor's show based on Shiney Ahuja
at 4:06 PM
Ekta Kapoor makes her most sexually explicit show based on the Shiney Ahuja rape case. Salim Ghouse plays Shiney in the new show..
Ekta Kapoor is more determined than ever to steer her soap factory into the realm of the real. And it cannot get any more real than the Shiney Ahuja rape case. Two months ago the actor was taken into custody allegedly for raping his domestic help. That's when Ekta Kapoor's think tank got into action.
A source revealed, "Ekta was fascinated by the scenario. 'What could prompt a healthy young man who had it all, who was successful, famous, rich and a celebrity in his own right, to throw it all away for a moment of pleasure with the domestic help when he could have any woman he wanted for consensual sex?' This was the starting point for Betaab Dil Ki Tamanna Hai. That's the title of the serial based on the Shiney incident."
"Ekta wants to show in the soap how obsessive men can get about the forbidden. Anything that's taboo in society, in this case a relationship between the employer and the employee, is bound to generate excitement and challenge in the individual, no matter how successful," added the source.
Betaab Dil Ki Tamanna Hai, which Balaji is now in the process of shooting, is said to be Ekta Kapoor's most sexually explicit soap to date. The source said, "All Balaji soaps so far have only hinted at forbidden relationships. For the first time, Ekta's soap will open the bedroom door, show a couple's illicit relationship and make the man own up to his responsibility."
The serial is being currently shot under utmost secrecy. Salim Ghouse plays Shiney while playing the house help's role is a newcomer whom Balaji sources describe as a "combination of Bipasha Basu and Kangna Ranaut."
