Ekta Kapoor

March 6, 2009
The daughter of Bollywood actor Jeetendra, you could say that Ekta was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but her individual success speaks volumes about her own ability to turn everything she touches to gold. Instead of making her foray into Bollywood like most star kids, she started out very young, turning television producer and tapping into TV audiences with a host of popular serials that saw phenomenal success. The creative head of her own production house, Balaji Telefilms, Ekta is known to run a tight ship but it has certainly paid off -- today, Balaji is the largest production house in all of South Asia and the Middle East and has also produced five Bollywood movies. And Ekta herself is the undisputed czarina of Indian soaps.

Life lesson from Ekta:

  • You'll see success very early in life if you have what it takes to make it.
