Ekta Kapoor celebrated her birthday yesterday and the biggest surprise for her was when the cast of her iconic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi came together to record a special video. The video had participation from the entire cast including Smriti Irani, Ronit Roy, Mouni Roy, Pulkit Samrat, Hansika Motwani, and Ram Kapoor, reunited two decades after the show was first aired.
Smriti, who is among Ekta’s best friends, shared the ten-minute video on her Instagram account and wrote, "#HappyBirthdayEktaKapoor. Look who all came together after 20 years only for @ektarkapoor.." Smriti can be seen saying in the video, "Kitne saal baad hum sab log ek saath aaye taaki aapko humlog birthday wish kar sake. Hum woh hai jinhone apni zindagi ka pehla ghar, pehli gaadi shayad aapki wajah se khareeda. Lekin laute hum isliye hai, because we love you (We came together after so many years so that we could wish you a happy birthday. We are those people who perhaps bought our first houses and cars because of you. We reunited because we love you)."
"We love you because not many in India know that while we all celebrated these successes, you quietly helped many kids across orphanages and you fed many elderly across old-age homes, and that is what makes you extremely special," Smriti added.
The video had a special surprise at the end of it with special messages from her family, her mother Shobha Kapoor, father Jeetendra, brother Tusshar Kapoor, and son Ravie. Ekta was overwhelmed by the gesture and said, "This has made me cry!!! Thankuuuuuu everyone specially uuuuuuuu!"
Ekta's brother Tusshar shared a photo with Ekta with Ravie and wrote, "Happy birthday passionate mom, doting daughter, loving sister, loyal friend and incredible bua! To the queen of Hearts and content, both! @ektarkapoor #happybirthday I love the light coming from above Ravioli."
