After shedding light on the subject of sexism and homophobia in the web show Dev DD, Ekta Kapoor is set to present the second version, which will blow the lid on female foeticide and homosexuality. Lead actor Asheema Vardaan, who will reprise the role of the unabashed Devika Dharam Dwivedi in the series that airs today, says the show is only advantaged by the fact that it has a female producer, Kapoor, at helm. 

“I didn’t have a film or TV show behind me but she took a risk and launched me. She is someone who trusts [people] and their abilities, and is always encouraging. She will make it for the screenings of shows, and that is inspiring because she is focused on her work,” gushes the actor.
