When one thought that the six year old show ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’ was losing its lustre, Ektaa has added an interesting twist to it.
Ektaa Kapoor sure knows the tricks of the trade. When one thought that the six year old show ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’(Star Plus) was losing its lustre, producer Ektaa has gone ahead and added an interesting twist to it. The show will now see a generation leap of 18 years and a fresh lot of young actors. In addition to this, lead actor Sakshi Talwar (Parvati) gets a chic new look by Bollywood’s favourite designer Manish Malhotra.
At the function held to introduce the six new talents and Sakshi’s new look, Ektaa was present with her parents, Jeetendra and Shobhaa Kapoor, designer Manish Malhotra and senior creative director of Star, Shailja Kejriwal.
Speaking at the occasion, Manish said “I am doing it only because it is Ektaa’s show and she is a dear friend. When I was briefed about the new look, I wanted to give Sakshi a modern look. But Ektaa and Shobha aunty were clear that they wanted Sakshi in a sari. So, I have given Sakshi beautiful sarees which will complement her modern look.”
Looking radiant in a yellow ‘n’ orange creation with a new hair-style, Sakshi exuded sheer excitement as she quipped, “the idea of this new look is to create a beautiful look keeping the older age-factor in mind”.
Ektaa cited Parvati as her favourite character in comparison to Tulsi of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ (Star Plus). “Parvati has this vulnerable quality about her which is alluring,” she says.
Speaking about the makeover, she said “In the West, weekly shows get seasonal breaks. But the commercial aspect here does not allow us to do so. So, in order to keep a long drawn show interesting, we have to refurbish it from time to time. Thus, we cover the entire cycle of the protoganist’s life—youth, middle age and old age by adding newer dimensions to it. Also, the younger generation bring their own added freshness and spice to the show.”
The other attraction of the ‘refurbished’ show will be the inclusion of Aroona Irani who plays a pivotal role in the serial. “I simply had to get her in this role. So I called her up and requested her to come on board. Since she is dad’s friend too, she sweetly complied” says Ekta.
