What Ektaa said

Ektaa Kapoor has reacted to the speculations surrounding the two shows, Anupamaa and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Ektaa was asked whether she sees a difference in the way women support each other in the industry, in comparison to how it was two decades ago. Ektaa said, “Yesterday I was seeing some videos of Anupamaa having a problem as Kyunki is coming. I felt that was in such bad taste. She [Rupali] is such a big star. Anupamaa the show, the creator Rajan… has done what nobody else could do in the last seven years. They will continue to be number 1. They should continue to be number 1."

‘Pitting content against each other is so uncalled for’

She continued, "We are coming in for our purpose. To tell our story. These unfair comparisons between lead characters and lead shows is so unnecessary and pitting women against each other, pitting content against each other is so uncalled for.”
