Ekta Kapoor and Manyata Dutt had jointly issued a statement rubbishing the news of any rift between them regarding money for their future projects.

The contents of the article appeared in Mumbai Mirror on November 7, 2014, which claimed Ekta Kapoor demanding her money back from Snajay Dutt`s production house for delay in their joint ventures.

Both Ekta Kapoor and Manyata Dutt had dismissed this as frivolous news by issuing the following statements

Ekta Kapoor: "The story is frivolous, I value relationships more than money. The Dutt family is like an extended family to me. I would never think of bothering Bhabi with such a trivial matter, knowing that Sanju sir is not around. I am looking forward to working with the Dutts soon."

Manyata Dutt: "It is unfortunate that people, be it friends or foes, while being misinformed themselves become sources of such stories, and it is not even considered fit that things be confirmed with the concerned person and his family. We have the highest regards for Jeetu uncle, Shobha aunty and Ekta. We are looking forward for a long working association in the near future with Balaji."
