But the dreams pouring forth over the airwaves are from a single Kapoor, Ekta, an unmarried writer who has melded the Harlequin-style pulp romance novels and sentimental Hindi films she loved as a lonely child with the very adult business of television.
That is because the competition does not have Ekta, whose precise measure of the pulse of the Indian market—in particular, the so-called petticoat brigade of middle-class housewives—has led to the creation of a distinctly imagined video world.
Ekta loves hip clothes and Bombay's dazzling nightclubs, where she can be seen at least once a week, if she can get away from work.

IT'S THE `K' letter again, but the new serial "Kamal", to be shortly launched by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, may do something to redeem the reputation of a girl, who began to stand for regression and repression for most women.
Kapoor is quite clear that her serial has to be character-driven rather than story-driven, showing the qualities of the bar dancers, rather than focussing on the grim reality of their lives.
However, the fact that she came up with such a subject, in contrast to the petty family intrigues that are Balaji Telefilms' usual offerings, is to Ekta Kapoor's credit.
