Ekta's long title obsession

Ekta's long title obsession

Being superstitious is good for the producers and directors but only up to some extent. However Ekta Kapoor thinks otherwise. She does not believe in giving short titles to her daily soaps, one of which is her forthcoming Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, which was earlier titled as Khandaan.   Apparently, Ekta has also asked Aditi Gupta, who plays Heer in the soap to add another D to her first name.  Ekta's numerologist Sanjay Jumaani clarifies, "I have been suggesting the titles for Ekta's shows till now and fortunately it has worked positively for her. As far as the title change is concerned, we decided on Kis Desh… because it gels with the mood of the story where as Khandaan sounded more like any other family drama." Ask him about adding a D to Aditi's name and he says, " An additional D will bring more glory to her."

Additi to shed excess flab

After having added a 'D' to her name, Additi Gupta, who debuts with Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil is obeying all instructions from her director. Ekta is very particular about the way her lead actresses look. That's why she has taken Additi to a very well-known dentist because she wanted Additi's smile to be perfect. "Additi's teeth are overlapped due to which her character was not getting the desired smile. So far she has had two sittings with the dentist," says a source. The actress has even been put on a diet. "Additi is on a diet currently but she is not complaining because she knows that it's for her benefit," adds the source. Talk about muscle power!
