Ekta Kapoor reveals how her parents reacted on her having a child through surrogacy

Ekta Kapoor became a blessed mother of a baby boy last year whom she named Ravie. The producer-director was so excited about becoming a mother that she had been saving her eggs for a long time before she finally opted for surrogacy last year. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Ekta said, “I had stored my eggs when I was 36. I had a calling for a long time. I don’t know what it was. I don’t know if I thought I might get married, might not. Very late, if it happens. Or it may never happen because I am not gonna do anything just for the sake of it. I have always been such a nonconformist, there was no way I would...(conform to marriage)."

She added to telling how her parents reacted to the news. Ekta revealed that her parents knew that marriage might not be on her cards at all and her mother asked to have a child at least. "And then one day we got to know my brother (Tusshar Kapoor) wants to do it. And he’s done it! And he’s come and told us and he’s done it. ‘I’ll be a single father’. Now both my parents are looking gobsmacked, " she added. She also credited her brother Tushar Kapoor for giving her confidence to do so. Tushar has also raised a single child on his own. He too became a father through surrogacy and did not get married to anyone. She said that now their parents, Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor and happy grandparents of two children and they have no complaints at all.
