Despite the fact that reality shows have been at the receiving end of television debates, it was soap Queen Ekta Kapoor unveiling her first ever reality contest. Although popular for her saas-bahu sagas, the new venture according to Ekta would differ markedly in its flavour and presentation. It's not only the concept of the show, but also the celebrity presence in it that would add to its appeal, and to make that happen, Ekta has roped in some of the popular names to judge the show. Ekta Kapoor speaking on her reality show said, "I think nothing can pull a viewer bigger than spice, and this show has that. The magic ingredient in any outstanding show is spice." Actress Sameera Reddy, one of the judges on the show, reacting to the upcoming task said, "I always wanted to judge a show where there are children. I have been waiting for this opportunity. The moment I got this chance I really liked it." The move from daily-soaps to reality shows is Ekta's way of following the audience'spulse but, would this move repeat the success of her earlier ventures is something only time will tell.
