When TV channels refuse break, Ekta's soaps take leaps, Ekta Kapoor says TV channels' refusal to give a few months break to shows forces her to incorporate leaps in her shows.
"If channels tell me today that we don't want a leap and we'll give you a three-month break and you start from where you leave the story, I will not do a leap," the 37-year-old said here Thursday at the press conference of her TV show "Parichay".
Ekta insists that in the absence of a break, a leap is the only way out to bring freshness in serials.
"Whenever you make a show, you deal with daily issues on an episodic basis and after some time it stagnates. Abroad, you get a seasonal break so you can come back with freshness. To bring freshness, sometimes you need to show a different aspect of the story and for that you do a leap. It's as simple as that," said Ekta.
"The reason behind taking leap in Pavitra Rishta of 18 years is that Manav-Archana love story was at saturated point, so Ekta introduced leap with new characters. Pavitra Rishta leap was supposed to take place in August (last year) but it postponed to 12th of December because Ekta was confused from when Hiten 'new Manav' will join the show after the leap or before the leap. And on other hand, KBC was doing very well that time. Some of the people asked me... Because of dip in it's ratings, show takes leaps?, which is not true! Leap was planning from June of last year. Ekta takes leap in PR to add more freshness in the show!"
So what do you think?, Are you folks agree with her? Do you think Ekta's show should get a break of 3 months?
