Well-known producer Ekta Kapoor wonders why Indian society
links being settled down to wedding.
Ekta, who has produced content for television, movies and
now has a presence on the digital medium too, received the FLO (FICCI Ladies
Organisation) Icon Award for Media Entrepreneurship recently.
President Ram Nath Kovind was the guest of honor at the
event at Vigyan Bhawan, where Kapoor was among 10 women achievers lauded at the
34th annual FICCI Women's Group FLO Awards.
During a media chat at the event, Kapoor told she failed to
understand why she has to be married to settle down and why the two things
linked at all.
"What I am asked a lot by journalists is, 'When are you
settling down?' How much more do I need to settle down? I really don't
understand why settling down is linked to getting married. For years, my father
and mother saved the best of alcohol for my marriage. This year, the defining moment
of my life came when my father took all of that out on his 75th birthday. It
was a celebration of today and not expectations of tomorrow," revealed
Ekta Kapoor.
