Ekta Kapoor, who is known for her shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Daayan, Naagin, Kawach, Kumkum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagya, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and many more recently revealed that it took seven long years for her to take the responsibility of being a mother. She also mentioned that few things have changed post motherhood.
In an interview to a leading newspaper, Ekta said, “I am a mother today, but let me tell you that I had begun contemplating it seven years ago. It literally took me that long to really take that responsibility.”

She further added, “Everybody says that motherhood is perfect, and the day a child is born a mother is also born. The expectations of mummy-hood, more than you, it’s the other mothers who talk. When we were writing the show (Kavach 2), it was giving me jitters. Every time I wrote an episode, it was based on topics like bullying, gender fluidity, good-touch/bad-touch and other craziness. I was shivering, and they all said that thank god you’re not a mother. Little did they know that I would be one soon.”
When questioned about how she balances her personal and professional life, Ekta says that a few things have changed. “I think the only difference with him around is that I have better mornings now. Be it dog moms or baby moms, they don’t go for walks themselves, but will develop the habit for their babies’ health. It becomes their priority.”
She added that she also has to cut out many of her social obligations but she is happy about it.
