Ekta Kapoor is known for her spiced-up shows that keep the viewers hooked till the very end.
Now, looks like Ekta Kapoor has something exciting in her kitty to keep her fans entertained.
Ekta Kapoor is working on a web-series that is based on the life of Protima Bedi.
Protima Bedi was one of the most popular Odissi exponents. The first wife of veteran actor Kabir Bedi, Protima’s journey was filled with several ups and downs. In August 1998, she was on a pilgrimage to Kailash-Mansarovar and the Malpa avalanche took her life. Years later, Protima’s daughter Pooja Bedi has released a book on her life titled Timepass: The Memoirs of Protima Bedi With Pooja Bedi. The stories were written by the late dancer and Pooja compiled them and edited it.
While talking to Peepingmoon.com about her mother Protima, Pooja revealed that Ekta Kapoor’s production house, Balaji, has acquired the rights of Timepass and is working on a series based on that book. Pooja said that she will be guiding the team on the series based on Protima’s life. She will also provide any other information needed for the series and will open different chapters for the show.
“Balaji has brought the rights of Timepass and we are making a series on her (Protima) life. Soon, something will be coming up on my mother’s life cinematically as well,” Pooja says.
Timepass speaks in detail of the relationships in Protima’s life, her rebellious lifestyle, her family life, establishing Nrityagram, India’s first dance village for Indian classical dancers, and her eventual transition into a sanyasi towards the end of her life.
