Happy Birthday Ekta Kapoor

Here is the list of TV shows which she has managed to entertain us for decades:

1. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

The show which was much more popular than Game of Thrones with a huge ensemble cast and who can forget the protest which happened when Mihir was killed or the adorable Baa who is rumoured to be 200 years old. Plastic surgeries, back from the dead moments this serial’s got everything.

2. Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki

The show which was a complete overdose of tears and more tears which eventually formed a lake in all our homes when it started. The show dealing with principles and morals managed most of us hooked back in that time.

3. Naagin

The only show which is actually more of a supernatural fest with too much of black magic, shape-shifting snakes and revenge sagas got maximum TRPs all thanks to Mouni Roy who kept the serial alive and kicking.

4. Bade Achhe Lage Hai

A coming-of-age love story of 40 year-old multimillionaire and a 35 year old tutorial instructor who were immature before and while getting married. As time passes by, they get to realise their love for each other during their married life.

5. Pavitra Rishta

A story which did not have the elements of previous serials is a simple love story between a simple mechanic who sacrifices everything for the family and a girl who gave up her studies in the midway to take care of her family. This serial gave us some serious relationship goals.

The iconic movies produced by the mogul herself:

1. Once Upon A Time In Mumbai

A gangster saga which was the tale of two real-life mafia bosses namely Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim. The movie dealt with the perception of both the gangsters. One who lives by the moral code and the other defies the morals to accomplish his goals.

2. The Dirty Picture

A biopic based on the sex symbol of the south and her journey from being a fantasy to every man in the 80s to the most controversial life of hers. Vidya Balan nailed the role and went on winning awards for it.

3. Ek Villain

A story of a gangster who develops feelings for a free-spirited girl who is terminally ill and gives up his old life to live with her. They eventually get married but their happiness is short-lived when his wife gets killed by a sadistic killer.

4. Udta Punjab

The most controversial film of the year 2016 which was in the verge of getting banned breathed a sigh of relief in the box office and at the awards where Shahid Kapoor won awards for his portrayal of a Coke-addicted superstar and Alia Bhatt won for her performance as a young village migrant who gets prostituted.

5. Veere Di Wedding

The movie which is a combination of Sex and the city and Bridesmaids is about four women with different tastes and fantasies which dare to challenge the stereotypes which are set by the so-called mature elders.
