Happy Birthday Ekta Kapoor: Smriti Irani, Karan Johar to Mouni Roy, celebs pour in wishes for TV Czarina

TV Czarina Ekta Kapoor in undoubtedly one of the most successful star kids of the industry. Born to veteran actor Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, Ekta has the most amazing career as a producer. There have been times when Ekta received criticism for her typical saas-bahu daily soaps, obsession with the letter K, overdressed actresses, unrealistic plot, and furious vamps. But this did not stop her from moving ahead in an industry that has been dominated by males for decades. Thanks to Ekta, we got shows like Hum Paanch, Kkusum, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kasauti Zindagi Kay, Kasamh Se, Pavitra Rishta, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Naagin, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and many more. Not just these she has even entertained audiences with her films like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Shor in the City, etc. June 7 marks the 45th birthday of the joint MD and creative head of Balaji Telefilms Limited. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, there will obviously be no celeb-shot party however her friends from the industry poured in wishes on social media to make her day special. Smriti Irani, Hina Khan, Mouni Roy, Karan Johar, Rashami Desai, Parth Samthaan, Divyanka Tripathi were the first ones to wish the star.

Bollywood's ace filmmaker, Karan Johar shared his favourite photo with Ekta and wrote, "This is my favourite picture of ours! I love you Ektu!!!! @ektarkapoor you are so special to me and have always been there for me! I love love our one on one dinners and our conversations! We have a karmic cosmic connection and I know you will always have my back .... can’t wait to come and have dinner with Shobha aunty and you!!!! Hugest hug and kiss from Roohi Yash mom and me!!! We love you!!!!"

Smriti Irani who has worked in one of the most successful shows of Ekta--Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi shared a video and wrote, "#HappyBirthdayEktaKapoor Look who all came together after 20 years only for @ektarkapoor."

Divyanka who has worked in YHM wrote, "A huge producer yet a playful girl who's bubbling with energy, in romance with her craft, out to conquer the world not leaving her beaming grin behind! Keep having fun Ekta! That laughter really works! Happy Birthday! Love, Divyanka."

Mouni Roy, Ekta's first Naagin wished her and wrote, "Even though I should mention things that wouldn’t have happened if she @ektarkapoor wasn’t born, am just gonna note down a few here on this happy occasion of her happy happy birthday 1. (Starting with the obvious) there wouldn’t be a “Balaji Telefilms” and many of us would be jobless 2. The saas es and the bahu s wouldn’t be the stars of the indian household 3. The most famous indian ‘soap’ would be lifeboy 4. The torrid reel to real life on set love stories wouldn’t have transpired 5. “Shapeshifting snakes” wouldn’t be as cool 6. The gram wouldn’t have stolen the idea of boomerangs (you practicality invented it ) 7. Saari bindi and jhumkis would be a lot less sexy. 8. We wouldn’t have known the concept of a rock solid leader, guide and a friend  Jokes & fun aside, you are lovelier and more special than all the prose & poetry compiled together and I pray you smile bright today & erry’day ... happyyyyy birthday my dearest ekta maam I LOVEE YOU very much.."

Kasautii 2 actor Parth Samthaan wrote, "Wishing you all the happiness in the world @ektarkapoor Maam , have a fabulous year ahead apart from this quarantine bummer .. happy birthday ma’am #happybirthdayektakapoor."

Hina Khan shared the reasons why Ekta is so important to her. She wrote, "You were an inspiration to me before I was an actor or I decided to be a part of the industry. I think a smart woman like you would be aware ...that you sow dreams in people’s hearts n minds. In more ways than one, you and your magic on screen gave a regular girl the dream which looked closer than the horizon. But the best part about you is .. your nature .. you are so so sweet.. I always considered you to be the maverick of Bollywood."

Varun Sood wishes Ekta and wrote, "People dream, You make them come true! Lots of love @ektarkapoor ! God speed!!#happybirthdayektakapoor."

Lots and lots of love and happiness to you #happybirthdayek #hbd."

Rashami Desai wrote, "A grateful wish for a wonderful human like you I know one thing that no matter what happens in life you have always been like an angel to me and many other people. From you I have learned one big thing is that “Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” So thank you @ektarkapoor for being that good human I’m so blessed in my life with! Love you and HAPPPYYYYY BIRTHDAYYYY."
