Ekta, Sandiip patch up

Television's Big Fight is over. Sandiip Sikcand and Ekta Kapoor have patched up, after a bitter, year-long fight.Sandiip Sikcand, chief creative director of a reputed TV channel , is a relieved man today. He has patched up with Ekta Kapoor. The big fight of the TV industry is over. Ekta and Sandiip are friends once again and ready to work together. For the past 11 months, Sandiip has been nursing old wounds. It may be recalled that he had severed all connections , in a clean sweep, with his 'parent company' Balaji Telefilms and mentor Ekta Kapoor. The great duo spilt and Sandiip went and joined another TV channel, taking away with him all the creative juices he had poured into Balaji.
Now, Sandiip is grinning from ear to ear. He says, "Most of our differences were created by others. Too much noise was created over something small. The whole issue was portrayed to be really big and ugly."
Did he mean to say there were no differences whatsoever between him and Ekta? "I admit that there was a point when there was a huge gap between us when we worked together… But working with Ekta was always a pleasure. It's great to be working with her again."
So, who took the initiative for the patch-up , Ekta or him? Or was there a mediator? Speaking candidly, Sandiip says, "I took the first step. I called up Shobha aunty and she said that it was high time we (Ekta and I) had a dialogue to end our differences. After this call we met and had a long chat. We realised that a lot of people had tried to create differences between us and a lot of people had tried to blow things out of proportion. They misrepresented both of us. We needed to close this whole chapter and move on…"
So what exactly had gone wrong between him and Ekta? Sounding guarded, Sandiip says, "I don't want
to get into that. Whatever we spoke about, and how we spoke, is personal . Both of us wanted this to happen for a long time and now we want let bygones remain bygones… It was very important for me to do this."
