Ektaa Kapoor is one of the most prominent faces in the entertainment industry. She is the most popular and successful producer and director. Unlike her father, Jeetendra, she didn't opt for acting and went on to give several shows to the Indian television industry. Ekta is the head of the production house, Balaji Telefilms. And now, another star has been added to Ekta's list of achievements as she is honoured with the International Emmy Award.
Ekta Kapoor is all set to make India proud again as she will be honoured with the prestigious International Emmy Awards. For the unversed, the 51st Emmy Awards is all set to be held on November 20, 2023, in New York. A few hours ago, Ekta took to her Instagram handle and dropped two adorable posts, expressing her happiness over getting honoured and recognised for her contribution to the entertainment industry. In the first post, she dropped the official notice of the International Academy Of Television Arts And Sciences, wherein, it was declared that Ekta will be honoured with the International Emmy Directorate Award for her trailblazing career and impact on the Indian Television Landscape.
