3. Sunny Leone

Ragini MMS 2 which released on March 2, 2014. At that time, their were news doing the rounds that Ekta is angry with Sunny and she do not want to work with her. It was being said that Sunny gave the team a really hard time during shoot. She would initially agree on doing certain scenes, and then later back out on the day of shoot. Sunny herself was a little miffed with Ekta and Balaji, since she wanted the concentration to be on the horror parts of the film – however, the promos focused a lot on the sexy angle, which Sunny seems to be making a conscious effort to stay away from. The actress doesn’t want to position herself only as ‘sexy’ within this industry, since she already has a career as an adult film star.

4. Smriti Irani

The favourite bahu of all times, Tulsi aka Smriti Irani had walked out of ‘Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ in 2007 post a tiff with Ekta. She was replaced by Gautami Kapoor but TRPs dropped drastically and Ekta was forced to convince Smriti back to the show. Smriti re-joined the show in 2008 and this caught a lot of media attention. Not only this, the actress-turned-politician was asked to play a dancing girl in an episode of Ekta’s TV show ‘Ek Thi Naayika’. Given her political role, Smriti allegedly refused. As a result, the makers had to change the script and Sakshi Tanwar was requested to play the part instead. Smriti and Ekta’s relationship has had its newsworthy moments.
