Ekta Kapoor

As a producer, I am dying to explore psychology and urban dilemmas - say, fatigue - in a marriage.

In films, I do programming I can never do in television. I have fun. Both mediums are content-led, but they are so diverse in their psychology that they cannot have a meeting point.

I've grown up watching 'Mawaali,' 'Himmatwalla,' and my love for masala movies started from there, and ever since, there's no looking back.

If you depict one home and the drama moving around one family, people love it because the characters become identifiable.

Passion keeps me going. I love my work. The need to come back, no matter what, and my passion towards my work keeps me going.

I love telling stories, I love entertaining, and I love my job.

I love the streets of Kolkata, and I admire the old architectural buildings.

I love 'Koi Aane Ko Hai.' It is my favourite show because I believe in this genre.

I've always had this fear in me. What would life be like if I wasn't Number 1 on television? But I've learnt to overcome that fear.

I knew I wanted to make good television, create content that's massy, and provide programming that would invite families to come together and witness these 'reel' lives.

I believe that change is the essence of life.

I believe in life after death.
