Introduction

Love her or hate her, but you cannot ignore Ekta Kapoor
Daughter of yesteryear actor Jeetendra Ekta, known as the Soap Queen of India, though she started her TV career at a tender age of 19. Her refusal to compromise on quality and her attention to detail contributed greatly to her success.

How is Ekta perceived?
