So, if you are headed to an Ekta Kapoor's party, make sure you have enough food in your tummy to absorb all that alcohol. Ekta is also infamous for coming late at her own parties. Her patent vodka syringes would surely make you groove on the dance floor with her.
Eccentric sense of humour: Ekta is known for her whacky sense of humour and those close to her surely understand that. She has a contagious laughter and usually leave people rolling on the floor laughing by her witty one liner jokes.
Chocolate lover: Chocolate is one sin that Ekta Kapoor swears by committing. It is said that her fridge is always loaded with chocolate bars and chocolate ice creams. So if you want to woo Ekta, well you know the first step!
Mommy's lil girl: Usually daughters are daddy's princesses but Ekta Kapoor is her mom's lil girl. She is extremely close to Shobha Kapoor and very protective about her. The mother-daughter duo is often caught giggling, gossiping and sharing jokes.
Animal Lover: Ekta Kapoor loves animals and has adopted many stray dogs who were injured or unwell near her office and home. Even Balaji Telefilms has few stray dogs. Ekta's actor brother Tusshar Kapoor also helps sister in taking care of these dogs.
Beliefs: It is a known fact that Ekta Kapoor believes in numerology. According to an IANS report, Ekta Kapoor changed the title of her movie Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again to Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! for numerological reasons. The report quoted the filmmaker as saying that, "I believe in astrology and numerology, but I will get to know (its effect) only after the release of the film." Another example of her belief in numerology was when she added a line to her show, Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar. According to an IANS report, Ekta Kapoor decided to add Yeh Kaisa Anurodh to the show's title.
Fears: Ekta is scared of heights and darkness, as told by Tusshar Kapoor in an interview. She is also scared of helicopters and avoids them as much possible.
A multitasker: Ekta Kapoor is not only successful as a producer but has also recently ventured into the fashion department. According to reports, Ekta has launched a fashion label, 'EK.' Speaking about the same Ekta was quoted as saying that, "I've always looked to venture into new territories and with my label I hope to reach out to women across the country. EK is an endeavor to make fashion accessible and affordable."
A perfectionist: Ekta Kapoor is a stickler for perfection. According to a Mid-day report, Ekta Kapoor had rejected 19 costumes to select the best one for her show, Kumkum Bhagya. While on another instance, Ekta Kapoor strived for the perfect script. According to a report, Ekta Kapoor had torn off the script of Kumkum Bhagya five times before deciding on the final one. The report also stated that Ekta Kapoor had given the time slot of Pavitra Rishta to Kumkum Bhagya, because she considered the previous show very lucky for her.
Platform Heels: Ekta Kapoor is generally seen wearing black platform heels and it looks like there is a reason behind it. According to a report on Missmalini.com, these platform sandals have been blessed by her personal astrologer. The report further states that she has the sandals in several colours and always uses them whenever she has to attend any event or function. Ekta Kapoor is apparently very serious about these things, stated the report.
