Producer Ekta Kapoor said every time she comes up with a new show, she makes sure that the cricket season is not on.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEvery time I put up a new show on air, I hope it\u2019s not cricket season. Because I used to know when Sachin used to play, as you could see the TRPs of my show. I used to ask \u2018what happened,\u2019 and got the answer \u2018oh Sachin played.\u2019 That was the only time they used to get affected. It was the same even during \u2018Kyunki…\u2019 and \u2018Kahaani…\u2019 times,\u201d Ekta told the reporters.<\/p>\n

The producer, who was in the capital to promote her upcoming show \u201cKundali Bhagya,\u201d which is a spin-off of Zee TV\u2019s popular daily soap \u201cKumkum Bhagya,\u201d said the new serial will be her ode to the world of cricket.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI created Divyanka\u2019s character as dentist in \u2018Yeh Hai Mohabbatein,\u2019 as I was having a lot of tooth trouble those days. My dentist sorted my problems a lot, so I brought that character alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ekta said the character played by actor Dheeraj Dhoopar is of a young, brash cricketer, which was loosely based on Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a fan of cricket. But I\u2019ve been hearing a lot about this young cricketer Pandya. I haven\u2019t seen much of him but I hear he\u2019s quite an IPL sensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor writing the story, we thought why not pick a character like this who is likely to get placed in the national cricket team. We thought this is an interesting world to explore. There\u2019s so much madness about it. But, I\u2019ve heard the gentleman is quite well behaved and polite,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, Ekta added that the character in her show was somewhat different as he \u201cgets carried away with things and is rock star with his bat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dheeraj said he is a huge fan of Indian skipper Virat Kohli and has tried to emulate his mannerisms for his role prep onscreen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t do much homework. But I like Virat… He is a rage in the country. I have somewhere tried to look like him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
