| Ekta Kapoor is India's most powerful communicator. Planet Mercury is known to help in communication and the dual sign of a Gemini is called the sign of the mercurial intellect.
Very rarely has Ekta Kapoor been conferred adjectives of gushing warmth, but she has always been described as a highly creative, no-nonsense task master, a woman who knows and works her mind.
Since producing her first blockbuster television programme at 19, Ekta Kapoor has rewritten the script on TV entertainment for the masses. She has created more than 20 soaps on 10 major Indian networks; a comedy series she created ran for 5 years. The Indian showbiz people watch her every move, and she is one woman who has an aura of 'don't mess with me' around her. Bow down to this Gemini success story who while barely out of her teens revolutionised the idiot box.
In an almost matrix like manner she twirls the Indian women's mindset around her fingers. Dinner times, parties, conversations are now timed before or after her serials, or during commercial breaks. Her serials are not a one time rage, they are a five day addiction and the people who miss even a single episode get withdrawal symptoms.
Also known for her mercurial temper, most of her actors are very guarded about making any real comments on her, in fear of being chopped literally from the serial. She can make or kill swifter than a venomous female tarantula.
No character is allowed to get larger than life and if they do, she makes sure that they don't consider themselves indispensable. In case someone does feel that way they are dropped as easily too no matter how important they may be to the serial.
The Gemini sign is also considered an adolescent sign, with its rush, they also need to have faith and her absolute faith is seen in Siddhivinayak (where she walks to from her suburban abode very often), Sunita Menon, Tirupathi and of course the alphabet K — a hitherto innocuous alphabet, suddenly found itself risen to unprecedented glory all thanks to her. |
