Its no longer Ekta's 'K', but 'B'
The trends come and go but there are some which creates a lot of buzz. The trend of "K" initials set by Ekta Kapoor was the most followed and noticed trends on television. But as everything has a life and now the magic of K is fading away giving B to take its place. The most popular soaps on the television these days like Balika Vadhu, Bidaai, Bandhan tell it all about that how B is replacing K. Even the 'K' queen Ekta Kapoor who is one to start this trend seems to be moving with the current trend of 'B' factor and her new show aired on NDTV Imagine is titled as Bandhini.
But
what
suddenly
went
wrong
with
the
'K'
factor?
Noted
astrologer
Sunita
Menon,
who
is
said
to
have
recommended
the
alphabet
'K'
to
Ekta
Kapoor,
says,
"Yes
I
gave
'K'
alphabet
to
Ekta.
I,
being
an
astrologer,
can
only
give
a
guideline
that
which
path
would
be
better
to
follow
and
which
not.
It
is
not
about
'K'
factor
or
'B'
factor.
It's about person's hard work. It is nothing like anything went wrong with 'K' factor; it's just that everyone goes through this stage wherein sometimes you have success and sometimes you have failure. Its life and life is a roller coaster ride, you see!"
Now
as
K's
story
is
over
and
to
make
her
luck
shine
again
with
the
equal
amount
of
effort,
Ekta
tried
taking
help
of
the
numerologist
Sanjay
B
Jumaani
with
the
spelling
of
her
NDTV
Imagine's
soap
Bandhini.
"I
have
spelled
the
name
for
her
new
soap
Bandhini," admits
Sanjay
B
Jumaani.
On
being
further
asked
whether
these
spellings
are
only
meant
to
give
someone
psychological
satisfaction
or
does
it
really
work,
the
numerologist
says,
"you
are
asking
a
doctor
that
his
medicines
works
or
not.
Obviously
it
works
and
that
is
what
I
am
paid
for.
I
can't
fool
anyone
on
that
part,"
confirms
Sanjay
B
Jumaani.
Though we have heard that Creative team of every channel do consult a numerologist or an astrologer for their serial name ceremony, Saurabh Tiwari denies the fact, "No. We, in Colors, don't consult anyone. I don't think so opting for any initial helps you. It's just your frame of mind and your personal view. Some people believe it and some don't. I personally don't believe in all these stuffs."
Vivek Bhal, Creative Director Star TV, too seems to agree with the opinion of the creative head of his rival channel. "I don't believe forcing a K or a B into a title will matter eventually. If it's so then I wouldn't have decided on Ye Rishta Kya Kehlaata Hai for Star's next biggest show. The title should be apt for the show and also appealing to viewers; then, if it starts with K or B or any other letter, that's fine," says Vivek.
It's very usual that creative world gives a mixed reaction on the 'B replacing K' in the latest TV world. It's also very usual in the ever changing television world that even B will soon be replaced with some other alphabet. Least creative and more superstitious, TV world lives in this way only. Better we wait to see what comes next in industry's favourite numerologists'/astrologers' minds to replace B.
