Ekta Kapoor and Jeetendra

The Czarina of Television, Ekta Kapoor (who has given us some memorable serials based on family life) gave her fans a gift yesterday. She announced that she has had a son through surrogacy and named the little one Ravie, after her Dad. The entire family, friends and fans wished the new mother on the birth of her son Ravie Kumar.

An elated Ekta welcomed her son into the world and even thanked her doctor for being with her and helping her through the process.

Speaking about being a grandfather once again, veteran actor Jeetendra spoke to Midday, “I was a dada earlier. Now, I have become a nana. My life is complete! The child has been named Ravie, they added the ‘E’ in the end as they wanted an astrologically favorable name starting with R, and then Ekta thought why not name him after baba?

He also added, “Shobha and I were over the moon when we heard it first. We are looking forward to him coming home. We keep making the rounds of the hospital where the baby is currently under supervision. My family says he [Ravie] looks just like me, but then, a child’s looks keep changing every day. It’s tough to say who he will resemble in the future. Now, I have Laksshya and Ravie — they are the apple of my eye. I can die peacefully now as both my babies have their own babies.

Jeetendra already has a grandson Laksshya Kapoor who is Tusshar Kapoor’s son also via surrogacy.

Jeetendra feels that one must be happy in life. It doesn’t matter whether you are married or single. For him, the idea that his children have someone to come back home to is truly the best as a baby is the biggest blessing and responsibility to have. He feels that with responsibility comes passion, love, happiness and a purpose in life. There cannot be a bigger responsibility than taking care of a baby.

We too are happy for Ekta Kapoor and wish her on the birth of her son Ravie Kapoor.
