Ekta Kapoor or the K lady is the king-pin of the Indian Television Industry. Born on 7th June 1975, she has a typical look: soft tussled brown hair with a large red tika on her forehead. She heads Balaji Telefilms, a Production House based in Mumbai.
Ekta’s father is none other than Jeetendra, the superstar, and her brother is Tusshar Kapoor, current Bollywood actor.
In Television as a Producer:
• Ekta’s first soap was Kyunki…Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. It started in 1999, and was aired on Star Plus till November 2008, making it not only one of the longest running serials in the history of Indian Television, but also one of the most loved. The central character, “Tulsi” became one of the most recognized faces on the TV screen.
• Then came Kutumb in 2000 on Sony TV, and lasted a year. It was rather popular initially, but the ratings dwindled towards the closure of the soap.
• The same year Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii hit the screen. Ekta specializes in family drama, and this was no different. The audience loved it as much as her other soaps.
• In 2001 came another superhit series Kasautii Zindagii Kay. It was aired on Star Plus as well.
• Kkusum (2001), told the story of a simple yet strong girl. Needless to say the audience fell in love with the central character, comparing their own daughters and daughter-in-laws to her!
• Her other serials that have done well are: Kavyanjali (2005), Kasamh Se (2006).
Writing for TV:
Ekta has conceptualized some of her serials as well. Some of them are:
• Kasamh Se (2006)
• Kavyanjali (2005)
• Kesar (2004)
• Kahin Kissii Roz (2001)
As a Director:
Ekta has Directed Kabhi Kabhii Pyaar Kabhi Kabhii Yaar (2008) and Kavyanjali (2005)
Foray into films:
Ekta has Produced Bollywood films like:
• Kyo Kii…Main Jhuth Nahi Bolta (2001). Heavily inspired by the Hollywood hot Liar Liar, this film starred Govinda and Sushmita Sen in lead roles.
• Kucch To Hai (2003), based on I Know What You Did Last Summer, had among actors, Ekta’s dad and brother.
• Krishna Cottage (2004) was a horror film.
• Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005) starred Tusshar Kapoor once more. It is a slapstick that did decent business.
• Koi Aap Sa, a romantic comedy released in 2005.
• Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007) did rather well at the box office.
• Mission Istanbul (2008) flopped miserably.
• C Kkompany (2008) is slapstick, starring Tusshar Kapoor in one of the lead roles.
• Once Upon a Time in Mumbai is scheduled to release in December 2009.
