He said, “The flight was at 7 pm, but upon reaching the airport, it was found that the flight was getting delayed. The flight was late by about 2 hours. I called Shobha and asked if the puja was over or else she told that the moon has not yet come out. I said I would come home and join you in the puja.”

During this show, Ekta also shared many funny things. She said that she was very positive about her father in childhood. Ekta said that ‘I did not like that my father should work with any other actress or she should talk to someone else. I was very jealous seeing all this. Ekta said that my condition was such that I could even attack Papa Jitendra’s heroines. That’s why I was forbidden to go to Papa’s shooting site. No one used to take me there. ‘After hearing this talk of unity, everyone including Kapil started laughing and laughing.’
