Ekta's choice of Smriti's replacement is again so poor. Couldn't she have gone for Padmini Kolhapure who is such a seasoned actress. Gautami Kapoor (again souds like a relative of Ekta Kapoor). She has filled up her serial with people from her own community including Pulkit Samrat, Ram Kapoor, Sudha Shivpuri, that Abir fellow, Aakshdeep Saigal to name a few. She started out well originally with both Kyunki and Kahani making it a fairly widespread multi cultural and ethnic representation, which brought a high quality to her serails. But she seems to have a problem giving mileage to all non-punjabis (without any offence) like Shilpa Saklani, Gauri Pradhan. She has fallen out with Smriti which is the worst disaster for her. She has elected not to go with Padmini Kolhapure coz she is a Marathi. Ekta Kappor is promoting Regionalism (in a subtle way) in her serials. Shame on u Ekta.
I have not come across this perspective towards Ekta yet, about regionalism. I never paid attention to these details. Personally, I don't think that she can be that shallow. But really, interesting observation!

Just so u know.... Hiten is Sindhi.... Yash Tonk is Jatt (hes the main lead in KAA) n' Ronit is Bengali... so I don think shes discriminating.... Besides Gautami won by votes.... by 1%....
