Ekta Kapoor: I feel marriage should not be a validation for women

Bollywood producer and daily soap queen Ekta Kapoor is known for her no nonsense attitude and being her own individual. The firebrand producer recently became a mother via surrogacy. Ekta is very possessive about her family and loves them unconditionally.

But, one question that always nagged Ekta is regarding her marriage and in an interview with Hindustan Times, she opened up about this issue. Ekta said, “Well, it does not matter how successful I get… people still ask me about marriage. I feel marriage should not be a validation for women. It is something you have to fight yourself. My mother and I have had the discussion like a million times. I have told my mother to not pay heed to what all the relatives say or think about me.”

Ekta Kapoor has created a niche for herself in the industry through sheer hardwork and dedication. The daughter of Jeetendra further elaborated her point regarding marriage and said, “What used to be pressure has now become liberating. Her (Ekta’s mother’s) friends’ married daughters had problems back home. One day she said it was great that I didn’t go that path. So, it has fallen into place.”

The producer has time and again broken stereotypes and you don’t need to follow every societal norms.
