Ekta Kapoor Sara Khan and Parul Chauhan
Yesterday Sara Khan (Sadhana) and Parul Chauhan (Ragini), the lead actresses of Sapna Baabul Ka - Bidaai, had told us how Ekta Kapoor had tried to woo them both with offers of new shows but they had turned her down. They also claimed that Ekta had invited them personally to a party she had thrown last weekend.
Well, now the two girls will be sued by Ekta Kapoor, who says that the girls' claim is a blatant lie. She is now in the process of sending them a legal notice for using her name to promote themselves and their show.
Says a livid Ekta, "I am shocked that someone could have this kind of imagination. In the last 16 years of my career in this industry, I have seen all kinds of games around me but this takes the cake. As far as Kyunki… going off air is concerned, let me tell you that I have just signed a fresh contract with Star TV for the show. I am slapping a legal notice on them for using my name in such a way."
A source close to Ekta says, "Ekta Kapoor was furious when she learnt that Sara and Parul had used her name to gain publicity. She does not even know these girls and she never called them. In fact, Ekta never calls anyone ever for the party. She never calls even her close friends whom she works with, she simply sends SMSes to the people she knows to invite them to her party."
According to our source if Ekta wants to meet someone she asks one of her creative heads to call them and then meets them. Our source adds, "Anyone who knows her will know that she has a big ego and never calls anyone herself. It was stupid on these girls' part to do something like this and lie so blatantly. Now they will have to face Ekta's fury as she is suing them."

Hot breaking new!! We had our eyebrows raised when we got the news that Sara Khan and Parul Chauhan were offered a meaty role in an upcoming Ekta Kapoor's show (name not mentioned). Now there were a lot of questions that passed our minds'…Will the girls be loyal to Bidaai or dump Bidaai for Ekta (who would not want to work with our queen)? Would they agree to do the show? If so, who would replace them? What will happen to Bidaai? And so on and so forth… And we couldn't be more curious and thought to catch hold of the Bidaai girls and even Rajan Shahi to get an insight of what is going on…
Sara Khan says…
"Not just me, both Parul and I were offered to play in one of Ekta's upcoming show. I was really happy but how can I ditch Bidaai? It is very close to me… I definitely want to work with Ekta Kapoor in the future..who will not wish to? But I feel lucky to play the lead in Bidaai which is a big thing for me and I am happy about the good work. I am neutral in my emotions".
Parul Chauhan says…
"Yes it is true that Sara and I were offered to work with Ekta Kapoor. Actually this happened when Sara had come to visit my mum who was leaving to Lucknow the next day. We were chatting late in the night..say about 11.30 or 12.00 types. Sara got a call and it was a local number and we were wondering who it was at that hour. It was none other than Ekta Kapoor who offered us a role in her upcoming love story which I guess would replace Kyunki…We were really excited and it felt so good for having been offered. But Bidaai is my life and that which got me name, fame and love. May be in the future, if time permits, I would surely love to work with the queen but not now. I salute to Ekta for her attitude, confidence, and reputation and wish to be like her.
Rajan Shahi says…
"I got a call from Sara and Parul late in the night after a long tiring day and they informed me that they have been offered to play in Ekta Kapoor's show since Kyunki..is shutting down probably. But, the girls also told me that they are a part of Bidaai and will not leave it This is what made me sit up and smile after a long tiring day Their attitude spoke volumes about their character, their intensity and the relationship that we share I was touched by their gesture and got very emotional In our industry, where we have people being selfish and running after opportunities, I felt so good that these girls have given a thought about Bidaai and told me about it

Just 2-days ago we reported on how the ?Bidaai? girls are going around town expressing their chat with Ekta Kapoor, who apparently offered the two a role in her new show which would replace ?Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi?.
Sara Khan and Parul Chauhan claimed that they received a phone call from Ekta Kapoor, who wanted to cast them in her prime time show which they refused.
In her interview, Ekta Kapoor shared that she is shocked to the extent people use her name to get publicity; the Numbero Uno TV producer expressed that she never ever makes any phone calls to cast actors. Ekta also said that she has taken many claims lightly, but she will take legal action against Sara Khan and Parul Chauhan for spreading false rumors.
Sara and Parul on the other hand, refused to give any interviews to the media; Guess, they are too scared of Ekta ?Kyunki? she will drag the two to courts from their very sweet ?Babul Ka Sapna?Bidaai?.
