In Her Majesty's Service
Ekta Kapoor's house maintained by a small army of helpers

Finding domestic help is a big problem for aam junta, but Ekta Kapoor is hardly aam.
Having an army helps
According to an insider, "The soap queen's home has a full flow of ten servants." The staff strength of Krishna (her previous residence) is twenty; and is headed by their leader whose name, coincidentally, is — Krishna, same as the bungalow.
Adds our khabroo, "The Krishna bungalow is occupied by Jeetendra, Shobha and Tusshar while Ekta is by herself in Ekta House, which has three levels and it takes a team of ten people to manage the huge premises. Special care is needed as the interiors of the house are white and it needs special care and maintainence."
Ekta is out of the house practically the whole day, and it runs efficiently, fuelled by her army. An insider explains, "With the number of rooms each bungalow carries, the number of help seems justified."
Keeping it organised
A freqent visitor to Ekta's house says, "The servants are broken down to groups who handle different daily chores of the house which may start from cooking, cleaning, dusting and so on. The Kapoor family is also fond of dogs and have a couple of them for which a set of servants are assigned to take care of them."
Ekta refuses to comment on the team of helpers. She simply says, "Both the households are run by my mom. So I have no clue."
