Is Ekta Kapoor planning a second child? Four things are known to us.

Ekta Kapoor, a producer, wears multiple hats. In addition to producing material for OTT, TV (Balaji Telefilms), and film (Balaji Motion Pictures), she is a mother. Here are four facts we know about her, despite contradictory allegations that she is expecting a second child.

Is Ekta planning a second child?

An source disclosed to Bollywood Life in a since-deleted story that Ekta is arranging for a surrogate to carry another child. Ravie Kapoor, Ekta’s five-year-old son, needs a sibling because she has experienced that life herself. She has the strongest sibling connection with Tusshar Kapoor, and they always have each other’s backs. Additionally, the insider revealed that Ekta has considered having another child soon since she believes Ravie, her older son, shouldn’t experience the void that comes with sibling bonding.

Put an end to rumours?

But according to a recent Times of India story, a second person close to Ekta denied the claims. Spreading misleading information in an exclusive story solely to get traffic is wrong. Journalists should respectfully confirm details with the team before posting. People coming up with this news is so ridiculous and hilarious, they said.

Ekta’s initial child

Ravie Kapoor, a son, was Ekta’s first child, and she revealed this information in 2019. It’s interesting to note that her son has the name of Jeetendra, the seasoned actor and producer whose true name is Ravi Kapoor, as well as Ekta’s father. Ravie just had a lavish fifth birthday celebration, hosted by Ekta in January.

The son of Tusshar

In addition to Ekta, actor Tusshar Kapoor, who is her brother, also conceived his son through surrogacy. Using the same surrogate route as Ekta, Tusshar welcomed Lakshya into the world in the same year.

Regarding her career, Ekta is pleased with Crew, the heist comedy directed by Rajesh A Krishnan and starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon. Crew brought in over ₹75 crore at the domestic box office. She also just had another movie launched in theatres, LSD 2: Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 by Dibakar Banerjee. Among her future films is The Sabarmati Report, which features Vikrant Massey.

  1. Strong Family Focus: Ekta Kapoor, a doting mother to her son Ravie, has often expressed her love for motherhood. She welcomed Ravie via surrogacy in 2019 and has been vocal about her experience as a single parent. Given her deep bond with Ravie, many fans believe she might consider expanding her family.
  2. Public Statements on Parenthood: While Ekta has been candid about the challenges and joys of raising Ravie, she hasn’t confirmed or denied any plans for a to all the best to second child. However, there have been moments when she hinted at the idea, emphasizing her desire for Ravie to have a sibling in the future.
  3. Support from Family: Ekta has the full support of her family, particularly her mother Shobha Kapoor, who has always been a strong advocate for Ekta’s decisions. The Kapoor family has always been close-knit, and any decision regarding a second child would likely be made with their blessings.
  4. Work-Life Balance: As a successful producer, Ekta has a demanding career, but she has always emphasized balancing work with motherhood. If she decides to have a second child, she would undoubtedly integrate it into her busy life, just as she has with Ravie.

While the speculation continues, Ekta’s fans will be watching eagerly for any updates on her family plans.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986.
