Producer Ekta Kapoor has launched yet another show with a title picked up from a famous old song 'Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye.'

This has been the trend with her shows for quite some time now. Be it "Bade Acche Lagte Hain", "Kya Hua Tera Vaada", "Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani" or "Bairi Piya."

Her two upcoming shows "Itna Na Karo Mujhe Pyaar" and "Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai" are also in keeping with the trend.

Explaining the reason behind choosing such titles, Ekta says it's simply the lyrical recall value of the songs.

"Everyone asks me this question wherever I go, about why this fixation of having film songs as show titles? I just feel it's lyrical and somewhere if the song is popular, the title automatically clicks with the audience," the 39-year-old said here at the launch of the show "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye."

"Be it 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain', 'Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye' or others. Mostly these songs work for me because they are so strong in their lyrical recall that they work," she added.

"Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye" features Sonali Bendre and Apoorva Agnihotri in lead roles and goes on air on Life OK channel starting Oct 7.

Ahead of the release of her newest film, here's a look at the stunner's fashionable avatars:
Refuting rumours that southern actress Anushka Shetty is getting hitched after she finishes working on S.S Rajamouli’s Telugu magnum opus ‘Baahubali’, her manager said that there was “no truth” in the news.

“There’s absolutely no truth in the marriage rumours about Anushka. After she finishes ‘Baahubali’, she’ll start shooting for Telugu film ‘Bagamathi’, which she had signed a while ago,” Anushka’s manager told IANS.

“Rajinikanth’s ‘Lingaa’ had kept her really busy, hence she couldn’t sign any new projects. She’s also shooting for Tamil film with Ajith. She wants to finish these projects before signing any new ones,” he said.
It was reported that Anushka was set to marry a businessman whom she had met recently.

The Finding Fanny team assembled at Sofitel in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai on September 15 to celebrate their film's success.

And needless to say, the mood was upbeat as the stars filed in.
Poster number three of PK is out and has stars not just Aamir Khan but also Sanjay Dutt. Both are fully clad, which may disappoint some female fans.

Aamir Khan appears as a cop, wearing a uniform a little too big for him, staring grimly into the camera. Sanjay Dutt gets no unique costume of his own and instead appears in the same bandwala get-up that Aamir wore in the previous poster.

Sanjay Dutt is the Bhairon Singh whose name is emblazoned across the giant tuba both actors have toted in the poster, reveals Aamir. In Bhojpuri he says, "Why are you staring? Are you confused? This is not me, this is my friend, Bhairon Singh." Drum roll.

Anushka Sharma, who also co-stars in PK, has so far not made an appearance in the three posters released. The first poster, starring an almost-nude Aamir, is of course indelibly imprinted on the nation's consciousness.

In an aside, Aamir Khan made something of a boo-boo while tweeting the third poster.

This original tweet from him had a promo for his TV show Satyamev Jayate attached instead of the PK motion poster:
