She is the one responsible for the turnaround of the idiot box. She is also responsible for the launching of many of today's superstars, not just on TV, but also on the silver screen. She is none other than Ekta Kapoor, the undisputed queen of entertainment .
She is also the producer of the recent released and highly spoken about film Love Sex Aur Dhokha. The surfers were given an opportunity to get up, close and personal with the lady on celebrity chat.


But if you missed the chat, here are the excerpts of the same.

Ekta Kapoor: Hi This is Ekta Kapoor

cute MAHAK: hi ekta, good to see u here on chat....

Ekta Kapoor: Shiva...yea

Yes, KYPH was very dear to Ekta's heart. Its one of the few Balaji shows where Ekta got involved herself. And in its first 8-9 months, it was at the top of the charts too! Sony channel was leading at that time with Jassi, KYPH and Kusum. Now its totally gone!
And Ekta did try to bring back the magic by offering Iqbal, Neha and Eijaz a love triangle in Khwaish! Ohh, I get thrills just imagining that starcast together! 😳
But unfortunately all 3 refused. So we cant really blame Ekta, she did try. 😭

What?Khwaish was offered to Iqbal-Neha-Eizaj.What role was Iqbal to play(Sumit's or Yaseer)?BTW,Thanks God they refused.It was a crap.A very bad copy of Kumkum.

Yaseer's role was offered to Iqbal and Sumit's role was offered to Eijaz..
I think Iqbal Neha jodi can turn any bad bakwas serial to a Hit good serial .. KYPH 2nd half after 5yrs leap was boring but everyone was interested and watched only Neha Iqbal chemistry.. so Khwaish could have been a hit serial .Who knows..

well, i beg to differ here.. not just IN, any popular jodi cannot turn a bad bakwaas serial into a hit good serial.. why is any NEW serial bad and bakwaas.. bcoz of its poor script, weak storyline.. then how come any popular jodi can make it watchable for the viewers.. just bcoz of their presence ?? I don't think so.. yes, u can tolerate such new serials till few months for ur fav jodi, then eventually u would have to give up..

yes, u are right, despite being a big bore.. fans watched kyph 2nd half.. coz they were already watching it from the start.. they got used to it and it wasn't easy for them to quit in the middle .. just for curiosity what will happen next.. u keep watching it.. if Im not wrong that time kyph was low on trp list.. why that happened.. why couldn't iqbal-neha keep that running kyph on top?? coz u just said a crap serial like Khwaish could have been a hit, if IN were in it

The glittering city of Dubai, the romantic sands of the desert, Iqbal and Neha in those 2 roles! Just close ur eyes and imagine them in the roles and u will get what Sudhir Bhai means. They would have transformed an ordinary story into magic! 😳 Cuz thats what Iqbal Neha did, they created magic! They could have done it in Khwaish too! Im sure of it!
And the first few parts of Khwaish werent too bad....the yacht romance was rather interesting, wasnt it? 😉 I think Iqbal is older brother's role and Eijaz in younger brother's role would be better. And then older bro returns in the end when Eijaz-Neha are married. 😉

Pallavi didi is absolutely right.. The first few parts of khwaish were very good.. but after some episodes we couldnt continue..
annu127 you are saying we will watch all serials after watching it from the begining just for curiosity then what happened here.??. I can bet that situation would be diff ,if Iqbal Neha Eijaz would be there.. Starcast is the main part of a movie or a serial.. just see what happened to '' My name is khan'' some how this pic is aHit.. But its a bad boring pic.. Only Shahrukh Khan and Kajol jodi turned this bakwas pic into a Hit pic...

well, if khwaish was a travel show, then i would have surely enjoyed it watching I-N together in Dubai.. but unfortunately it was a daily soap which had an ordinary story.. for me, it's always the powerful story, gripping script that matter the most.. but alas khwaish didn't offer anything like that.. at least i cannot watch a bekaar serial like khwaish for more than a year or two, just bcoz my fav iqbal and neha are playing lead in it.. 🥱

They would have transformed an ordinary story into magic! 😳 Cuz thats what Iqbal Neha did, they created magic!

but they couldn't able to hold the same magic till the end.. why did kyph become boring after 5 yrs leap.. why that happened??😕

They could have done it in Khwaish too! Im sure of it!

i have some serious doubts regarding it..😉

sudhirm 2007, how come situation would be different.. that script, that storyline would remain be the same naa?? Aap kab tak Iqbal, Neha, Ejaz ko aik saath dekh kar khush ho sakte ho.. 3 months, 5 months or max 8 months.. but then what?? U would eventually lose ur interest in that serial if it became repetitive..

and i don't think a 2:30 hrs movie should be compared to never ending daily soaps.. it wont be that painful to watch ur fav srk or akshay in any 150 min bad, boring or mindless comedy movie.. but a daily dose of bad boring serial for 30 min would actually be a sazaa..

MNIK was hit bcoz it was srk's movie.. his best performance after chak de.. so all srk fans had to watch it but its success has nothing to do with srk-kajol jodi.. hrithik's Kites, aik Kati Patang nikli.. although viewers liked his pairing with BM.. Im sure u would know the exact reason of its failure..😳

annu you are right from your point of view.. But dont know why I think it would have been better .... After KYPH Iqbal Neha were HOT Jodi. and public were dying to see them together again.. additional attraction Eijaz.. Do you think Maayka' is well scripted? But it is a huge hit.. In my opinion Neha is one of the main reasons for its success... . You can say if Neha could do this why Iqbal couldnt....Neha came immediatly after KYPH.. Iqbal came after one year.. public memory is very short.. By that time Iqbal lost his Angad charm almost...and yeah those bakwas articles were mainly responsible for that..
