| ||||
Posted on 9 September 2003 | ||||
If she is not slogging away on the sets to shape up her TV serials, she is seeking divine protection and blessings. "I just returned from a trip to the Kumbh Mela, Nashik, and Shirdi at 3 am last night. I had a meeting with an executive producer till 4 am. And now barely six to eight hours later, you are ready to shoot questions at me. Poor me!" she tells indiantelevision.com's Vickey Lalwani, when he meets her for an interview. Then suddenly she sits up straight and says, "Ask me anything connected to work. No problem, even if I am half dead. Nothing gives me a bigger high than when I see how my characters can make people laugh, cry, angry and happy." Tea arrives, and she is all set for a tete-a-tete: | ||||
What makes Balaji Telefilms tick? | ||||
It's said that you are a very tough taskmaster? And because they achieve professionally, they achieve personally. I want only those people to come to me who believe that Balaji Telefilms can make them a millionaire. If you want Rs 3000 per month and wanted to attend office for only five days in a week, please get out. I want people who understand that working four years in my company would be equivalent to working 40 years in some other. Most of my creative heads get more money than their counterparts in any other production house. Tomorrow, if they move away to some other company, they can easily demand a phenomenal rise over what they are getting from me. That's why they work 18-20 hours per day. They don't work that much because they are scared of me. Believe me, sometimes this backfires on me (smiles). | ||||
| ||||
How? | ||||
And those who don't? | ||||
| ||||
What about the raise given to actors? | ||||
What makes 'Kyunki...' tick? Simple. Because every situation is quite real. And the same applies to Kahaani... as well. Many incidents in these serials have happened with each one of us. Believe me, there is nobody who does not like these serials. A section of self-made intellectuals are out to malign this show of mine, but have they succeeded? Even some actresses are jealous of this show. A beautiful 30-plus actress shot for a family serial of mine, but the channel strongly felt that she was looking old. Another young actress gave me dates, but later backed out. And now what are these actresses doing? They are painting the newspapers black and white saying that they are not made for the saas-bahu stuff! | ||||
Tell me honestly, don't you think that these two shows are dragging? | ||||
Still, some characters in 'Kyunki....' are shown in excess? | ||||
How were 'Kyunki' and 'Kahaanii' conceived? | ||||
What makes 'Kasauti...' tick? How was it conceived? Unrequited love between Prerna and Anurag. I was inspired by a real life incident. A friend of mine ditched his girlfriend to marry as per his parents' wishes. I was disturbed. Why couldn't the other woman be positive? Prerna was born. Why can't the wife be negative? Komollika was born. | ||||
What about 'Kaahin Kissii Roz'? | ||||
What is the source from where every serial of your's germinates? There is no fixed source. There are some people who relate to personal experiences only. There are some people who relate to what they read or see or even hear. I am a combo of all these people (laughs). | ||||
Does a good equation with the channel help? Of course, it helps. For instance, I have a good equation with Star Plus. But mind you, I have to deliver the TRPs. If my show does not deliver, my relationship would not help me to swim in smooth waters. I might even go for a toss. | ||||
So there is no such thing called as PR? There is PR, there is a greater degree of comfort, they know that I'll turn it around, they trust me. They immediately come forward with ideas, we sit together, we discuss, we argue, the sole aim is to better the show not only when TRPs fall but rather, with the passing of every single day. Today, serial making is not autocracy. It's meeting on common grounds. Why should a channel sail on a boat which does not know how to wade its way through troubled waters? | ||||
Why have you shied away from Doordarshan? I have not shied away from DD. It's just that their policies keep changing, this creates lot of confusion, misunderstandings and stress. Anyway, I am working with them again. I hope that things will be better this time. I believe they are quite pepped up. | ||||
There is a school of thought that your serials tend to focus on the denigration of women... (Interrupts) It is not necessary that those who care for their family are the backward type of women. It is likely that if I show a mother leaving her kid at home and going to office, people would come out and say that I am breaking up homes. Think of it, my serials have so much clout (laughs). To tell you the truth, I am the favourite target of the so-called critics. | ||||
How long will you continue to make soaps? As long as they last. | ||||
And how long would that be? This genre may suffer a slight dent, but not at least for the next three years. This is my vision. Face it. Indian television is mainly catered by women. The television is on when the man leaves in the morning for his office, and often, remains so even after he is snoring in the night! Women like to see 'saas-bahu', 'bhai-bhabhi', 'ma-beti', 'nanand-devrani' relationships, the gossip, the misunderstandings, the jealousy, and above all, the unity in adversity times. KBC was a stray case. Even before KBC it was soaps all the way. Weren't Hum Log and Buniyaad soaps? Please don't get misguided by the look of those programmes. Keeping with times, only the look has changed, a few new permutations and combinations have come in but the gist remains the same. It would be foolish if I switch over on some other track and allow my competitors to perform a dance of victory on an empty field! | ||||
And after it suffers a slight dent? Without stopping my soap product, I'll dish out something else in addition. I am not a dud. | ||||
You told me last time that nowadays you don't like comedy, so how about making a theme for a social cause? You really want me to do that? Or, are you pulling my leg? Didn't I tell you last time how much I was panned for showing that rape scene in Kahaani? And why had I shown that rape scene? To inform the people that they should be wary of domestic rape. Alongside, films like Bandit Queen and Mirch Masala whch were more objectionable than what I had shown, were labeled as creatve pieces of art! | ||||
Rajeshwari has come back in 'Kahaani...' but not so long ago, she had been thrown out? Rajeshwari was not thrown out. It's just that her track had ended and she was not required for a couple of days. It is essential to have different tracks going in a daily, else you'll get fed up of watching the same characters every day. | ||||
Rewa Babbar- the 'Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr' girl who came in as Karan's girlfriend- in 'Kyunki...' was replaced after seven-eight episodes. Why? Star Plus wanted it that way. They said that Rewa looked very positive and the character is now going to acquire negative overtones. So... (shrugs her shoulders). TV-serial making cannot be autocratic, it has to be meeting on common grounds. | ||||
There is a buzz that Amarr Upadhyay will come back in 'Kyunki...'? (Smiles). No such thing is going to happen. | ||||
Why did Sweta Keswani opt out of 'Kahaani...'? That's something to do with her personal life. It was her own decision. I can't throw much light on this. | ||||
The stage had been set for Ketki Dave to come back. Why it didn't materialise? Remuneration was the main reason. She wanted something more than my company policy permitted. But we have mended the bridge on a personal level. Recently, she even attended one of our parties. | ||||
Why has 'Kahaani...' taking a 20-year leap? That's happening from the first week of September. It's required. Doesn't life move ahead? Mark my words, Parvati (Sakshi Tanwar) will become exceedingly popular in this new format. If you recall, the 20-year leap in Kyunki... added instant fizz to Tulsi's (Smriti Malhotra's) character. | ||||
What's this 15-year old girl filing a public interest litigation that your serials show women in very poor light? The girl appeared in person in court and said she feels that your serials propogate that you cannot trust yopur sister, sister-in-law, mother and even your wife! I knew you had kept this for last. You couldn't avoid that, could you? What can I say? (shrugs her shoulders and smiles) Let's conclude and have some water-melon juice. | ||||

Ekta Kapoor designated 'Young Global Leader' in 2006 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Media Release, January 10
Mumbai, April 6 (IANS) TV tycoon Ekta Kapoor says she is planning to go to Delhi in search of a suitable husband even as she is looking for an image makeover on the professional front. 'My friends and I are going to Delhi looking for some eligible boys. Can't find one for myself in Mumbai. My temper tantrums are too well known here. I am trying to sober down as much as possible,' Ekta told IANS in an interview. On the TV front, she turns non-fictional with her recently launched chat show 'Kandy Floss'. 'I do want to attempt different entertainment. That's what I'm trying to do with 'Kandy Floss' and 'Krimson Skies'. Trying again to reach out to a niche audience. I'll just keep on trying. There is nothing else I can do.' Ekta's role model is filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. 'I like Sanjay Leela Bhansali because he has done what he wants to do, and done it so magnificently. He wants me to make a serial without a 'k' in it. I will, just for him.' Excerpts: Q: Your most unusual presentation, 'Kandy Floss', is on air. A: I am having so much fun doing non-fiction. My so-called differences with Sony were blown so much out of proportion. The new Sony team is cool. Now I am going into something completely different. I've done non-fiction programme before - 'Kosmiic Chat' with Sunita Menon. But this one I am really scared of. It will be a look at the activities of TV stars. My first show with adult content. I hope I am not torn into shreds. Q: You are finally growing up. A: Ha! If people speak on camera, I won't cut it off in 'Kandy Floss', that's for sure. We are all grownup people... what's the big deal? I'd say it is an unpretentious in-your-face programme but classy. That's why we have got Archana Puran Singh as the anchor. Then we have Kandy, a catty animation character, who will tell us how she sees these TV parties. Kandy even takes pot shots at me. I have instructed my team not to ask slimy questions or hit below the belt. When they asked me if they can take swipes at me, I told them, 'Fine'. But I might hate you.' I am having fun doing it. Q: Quite a change from the demure image of your soaps. A: That's exactly my point. My company can't live with one image. I am going to make a lot of high-perception shows. They may not be high-TRP shows. But that's okay. I'd of course continue to do mass-consumption shows. You know the swipes they take at me are funny. The other day I was reading an interview with an actor who said he has stayed away from 'saas-bahu' shows. Hello? What about the hundred calls that he made to me? And came to my office for a hundred auditions! If I give him a role, he would immediately give an interview saying, 'Who wouldn't want to work with Balaji?' Q: Do you feel TV allows you to be as adventurous as cinema? A: Not at all! The target audience on TV doesn't allow you to experiment. When I do something regular they are angry. But when I do something different, I don't get their attention. So what do I do? 'Iqbal' can be done for cinema but not for television because there's no niche audience on TV. In spite of all the criticism the top three soaps remain my 'Kasauti Zindagi Kay', 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki' and 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'. Even the other producers claiming to move away from my 'K factor' are doing the same thing. Q: What do you think of 'Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar'? A: Oh, I like it very much. It's very much a nice conventional show. Whatever we may say the audience isn't willing to move away from the standard theme and format. I do feel stagnant at times. But at the end of the day I love my work. I love my shows. For me they aren't something I do for a few hours. They are my life. I am very attached to my characters in the soaps. But I do want to attempt different entertainment. That's what I am trying to do with 'Kandy Floss' and 'Krimson Skies'. Trying again to reach out to a niche audience. I'll just keep on trying. There is nothing else I can do. My 'Kkasam Se' on Zee isn't really different. But it's a little younger. We are pushing the envelope a little more with this one. Q: But apparently 'Kkasam Se' isn't doing well. A: What are you saying? In just three weeks the TRPs' at 2.4 average. I have been heaped with praise. It is my other serial on Zee, 'Hum Paanch', that isn't doing well. 'Kkasam Se' is their No.2 soap. It is going to rock. As for 'Hum Paanch', times have changed. We shouldn't have done it again. Viewer-profile has changed. Oh, why did we have to bring it back? Q: What about your new shows? A: I have 'Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka' on STAR One. It's the funniest show on earth. It's got drama but no melodrama. I promise my audience no one's going to die and come back. It started March 20. In June, I'll have 'Krimson Skies' with a new 21-year-old actor Karan Patel. Q: Wasn't Amar Upadhyay supposed to play the lead? A: He was supposed to play Karan's father. But he asked for too much money. Q: That's mean! A: Why? What was wrong with playing the hero's dad? Q: How do you react to the constant criticism? A: My father always says dogs bark when an elephant walks. I hate calling myself an elephant. But what to do? I do my work, go home. I have five friends. I don't mix with my colleagues or TV people. With my five friends, I can be myself. People can call my soaps regressive and monotonous. I've only one thing to say to them, 'Dude, they aren't affecting the TRPs. It just seems like a lot of idle malicious talk.' Each show is different from the other in concept and colour. But my friends love to generalise and hit out at me. Q: Are you producing films? A: Yes, lots. But the star date issues are huge. I'll start with a small film directed by Satish Kaushik featuring Tusshar (Kapoor) and maybe Ayesha Takia. Then there are projects with Neeraj Vora, Rohit Shetty, Abbas-Mastan and Anees Bazmi. This is the plan for the next one year...plus I want to start small niche films with independent directors. I want to make some niche films that I'll be remembered by. I want to do what my dad did. He acted in 'Parichay' side by side with 'Farz'. But you know who's my role model of filmmaking? I like Sanjay Leela Bhansali because he has done what he wants to do, and done it so magnificently. He wants me to make a serial without a 'k' in it. I will, just for him. Q: Any plans of marriage? A: My friends and I are going to Delhi looking for some eligible boys. Can't find one for myself in Mumbai. My temper tantrums are too well known here. I am trying to sober down as much as possible.
