Not that I want to know that much about Ekta, but for others who are interested..! Dedicated to probably Ekta's biggest fan Nina.. 😉😆

Ekta Kapoor

Ekta J Kapoor, born on June 7, 1975, is the creative head of Balaji Telefilms. She is the daughter of the legendary Indian actor Jeetendra and sister of current actor Tushar Kapoor.

Ekta Kapoor has produced and co-produced numerous soap operas, television series and films. Her most famous television venture has been Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which started airing on STAR Plus in 2000. Since then, the show has continuously been among the top rated programs on Indian television. Today, Ekta Kapoor dominates Indian television, producing more than eight television soaps for STAR Plus, India's leading general entertainment channel. At the 6th Indian Telly Awards 2006, she bagged the Hall of Fame award for having contributed immensely to the Indian television industry. Most of her creations begin with the letter "K" due to her superstition that it brings her good luck.

Despite the popularity of her soaps, Ekta has received criticism for her controversial and bold scenes. Her soaps have been accused of poor acting, using false eloborate sets and repetitive, inane plots. Especially controversial is her portrayal of female characters, either shown as epitomes of truthfulness, obedience and grace or painted as loud, villanous vamps that constantly scheme against the protagonists.

Nina,
I agree with you. I don't understand why people have problems with Ekta. I absolutely love Ekta. She's achieved so much in such a young age and she's doing an awesome job. She's entertaining us, she's giving jobs to so many actors. The actors love her, 90% of the country watches her shows, where is the problem? She is willing to take risks and so far she's succeeded!
It's all this boldness of her shows that makes the show so interesting. She keeps you on the edge of your seat!

if people don't like Ekta, then stop wasting your time in watching her shows.

I am a great fan of Ekta, I wish I had half the brains as Ekta does.

She must have had a disagreement with her astrologer because the next Balaji Telefilms movie is called 'Raaste'! 😕

If that movie works (it probably will because it has a great star cast and the film is going to be stylish and slick), maybe we'll start seeing more movies and serials from Balaji starting with 'R' in the near future 😆

God bless.

ohhhh... I see! 😊

I just assumed that 'K' phenomenon applied to her movies also because until now all of her releases have also started with K also! So far, she has only had one hit... therefore, the change of tactic may not be a bad idea after all!

Also, I think the movie will turn out great. Her partner in this production in Suniel Shetty, and from what I've heard, the guy is an ace business man and a brilliant producer. Seeing as Abhishek and Aishwarya are both close friends of his, I'm sure that they will give it their absolute best. Seeing as John Abraham is playing a biker, he is guarenteed to have a good time also because he loves motorbikes in real life. Should be a great movie! 😃

God bless.
