"Let Ekta Kapoor and PewDiePie fight it out and finish each other. The world and media and content would be a better place."
Whether you want to admit it or not, Ekta Kapoor has played an undeniably instrumental part in shaping desi pop culture over the past couple of decades.
What is also undeniable, however, is the fact that a lot of people blame her for single-handedly ruining Indian television with her brand of melodramatic, and fairly regressive, soap operas.
Speaking of "popular but problematic", meet the other protagonist of our story – PewDiePie. This viral YouTuber has become notorious for his irreverent, controversial, and not-so-PC takes on everything from video games to foreign movies.
Turns out, he was doing research for avideothat he dropped on May 11, in which he watches and makes fun of a wide range of Indian soaps, most of them from Kapoor's production house.
It should be noted that, while Kapoor's one-sided flame war rages on, PewDiePie is yet to respond to any of it.
i say let ekta kapoor and pewdiepie get into a massive one-on-one battle that forces them to abandon making any content as they decide who’s the bigger plague on the world of creative content as a whole.
Every time you think it can't get worse, it gets way worse. For example Ekta Kapoor Vs PewDiePie, two individuals who represent the absolute worst in broadcast entertainment in the history of the world,seriously no exaggeration. Two trash piles combined to make 1 giant trash pile
Let Ekta Kapoor and Pewdiepie or whatever he is called fight it out and finish each other. The world and media and content would be a better place. Gauranteed.
Unfortunately for Ekta Kapoor, as undeniably dubious as PewDiePie's brand was and continues to be, it would seem that people don't think too highly of her either.
