Ekta Kapoor: No more 'K' serials - Kasam se, Kya Kool news hai

Yes, you’re reading right, and I am perfectly sober, in fact, rather chirpy on this beautiful morning. Exactly what happens when such delightful news comes your way: there will no more ‘K’ serials! Kyun Ki, Ms Kapoor has run out of ‘K’ titles. Aha… Kasam se, Kya Kool news hai!

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Ekta is out of business, no sir. It seems she’s moving on to more serious themes like the exploitation of domestic maids and the plight of the Vidarbha farmers. While a part of me wants to cheer her on, I am also uneasy about it, as we know our Ekta too well, by now, to trust such themes to her semi-demented interpretations.

Who knows, one glorious day Ekta might just run out of ’soapy’ ways to cheapen and trivialize sensitive and heart-wrenching human situations for fame and personal financial gain. Maybe one day to come it will happen…but as far as I can see, not in Bollywood and not in Ekta’s lifetime this time around!
