Ekta Kapoor is at her spiritual best yet again, what with the launch of her show on Star One, Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani slated for 18th October. We all know that Ekta does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to seeking God's blessings before the launch of her shows. It is the same when it comes to her belief in astrology and numberology.

Says our source, "This time too, Ekta did something spectacular after consulting her astrologer. Going away from the regular norms, Ekta convinced the channel to hold a special screening of the show on October 14th. The quick screening which aired for few seconds on the said date at 4pm gave the viewers a glimpse of the first episode of the show".

Are you wondering why this special step was taken? Well, we hear that as per the astrologer, October 14th happened to be an auspicious day for the start of the show. So Ekta decided to do the 'Shubh Aarambh' on the date, with a special screening that will provide her with all the luck for the show's success.

To sum things up, Ekta even visited the Siddhivinayak to take Ganpati Bappa's blessings.

Though Sukirti Khandpal did not have any clue about the special screening, Vivian Dsena said, "Yes, I heard from my unit members that there was a screening aired on Star One. But I do not have any idea about it. I am looking forward to the launch".

Did you happen to watch the special screening of the show? Well, not to worry if you have missed out, as the real action begins on 18th October at 8.30 PM..
