Ekta Kapoor on Dil Hi Toh Hai, ‘There Will Be Sex Education to the Younger Kids, It Is a Today’s Take on a Family’
Ekta Kapoor says that Dil Hi Toh Hai is a huge risk for her!
Ekta Kapoor's upcoming show, Dil Hi Toh Hai, has been in the news a lot for its stellar cast and the promo. Karan Kundrra will be seen opposite Yogita Bihani in the show. Makers have also roped in Poonam Dhillon and Puja Banerjee to be a part of the show. The promo has already sparked a conversation among fans about their expectations from it. But there is more than what meets the eye. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Ekta revealed that she is taking a risk with this particular show. She said, "I agree that TV is getting matured. TV is also getting a little boring (laughs) but I don't see too many changes. In fact, I have made a lot of changes in my upcoming show Dil Hi Toh Hai. I am making an updated show for the first time."
Speaking about the changes she has made in this show compared to all her previous or existing daily soaps, she said, "It is a family show but it is not the kind of family we have seen for ages, there will be moments in the show when a mother will ask her daughter if she has any boyfriend issues, she will be seen telling her if the boyfriend has left you, it is okay."
She adds, "There will be sex education to the younger kids, good touch, bad touch and there will be sons and fathers having a cigarette and drink together, and it will be a conversation that you have at home, with your sisters and your brothers. It is a today's take on a family." When asked about the popular belief that Ekta can turn anything and everything into a hit, she reacts, "Why does it always has to be a hit? I can't always have a hit and then I start planning hits which never can happen. I have stopped doing that now. Therefore with Dil Hi Toh Hai, I am like it might not work. You gotta to take a risk eventually." What are your thoughts on this? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
