Finally, I was reminded of the power of storytelling to connect with audiences on an emotional level and to provoke thought and discussion," she added.

Ekta started her career at the age of 17 in the entertainment industry. Her first successful show was the 1995 sitcom 'Hum Paanch'. Later in 2000, her show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' became the most successful TV serial.
