Ekta Kapoor - a woman with a heart of gold

We recently came across a Facebook post of actress Neetu Chandra that ended up touching the deepest crevices of our heart. The post spoke about Ekta Kapoor (Balaji Telefilms) and revealed the philanthropic side of the TV czarina which still remains unknown to many. We have reproduced below the said post of Neetu Chandra: Neetu Chandra December 1 “Met an old woman on the way today. She was trying to cross the road opposite to Ekta Kapoor’s office with 2 huge hand bags. I stopped my car n helped her. She said she was 74 n from Lucknow.No one to take care of her.... Ekta beti har mahine ke pehli Sunday ko ek hazaar deti hai, ussi se jee leti hu, she said. Beta tum mujhe waha pahucha dou. I dropped her at Ekta s office n saw 100 more like her outside the gate n they all were waiting for Ekie... NOW WHAT DO I SAY ABOUT EKTA... I am touched Ekta Kapoor - AN ANGEL. God Bless You” We have known Ekta to be a tough taskmaster, someone who was once famous for losing her temper at the drop of a hat. Now for the intimidating woman that she is known to be professionally, Ekta surely does have a heart of gold in real, someone who doesn’t mind loosening her purse strings for the needy. Neetu’s post as usual did attract many detractors, some of whom claimed that this is nothing but a publicity stunt on part of the actress. As hate comments kept snowballing on this post, a furious Neetu clarified that she was not doing this to seek any publicity or favour from Ekta. Neetu Chandra : okk everyone, I am neither doing a film or serial with her nor in near future. I don’t need to lie or do any publicity for anyone; I am not answerable to anyone. So, don’t look frivolous in asking questions like these.” December 2 at 8:25am • Like • 18 Ekta Kapoor too later showered her love on Neetu Chandra by commenting: Ekta Kapoor Biggg huggg December 2 at 9:55am via mobile • Like • 8 We tried calling Ekta for a response on the same but the media queen didn’t answer our calls.
