Producer Ekta Kapoor has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the esteemed International Directorate Award at the 51st International Emmy Awards ceremony. Deepak Chopra, the renowned author and new-age leader, had the honour of presenting the award to Kapoor during the ceremony held in New York.

Expressing her gratitude in a statement following her win, Ekta Kapoor remarked, “I’m delighted to receive the prestigious Emmys Directorate Award! It brings me immense joy and happiness to be honoured at a global scale, such as this.

I’ve always wanted to tell stories because they give me a chance to be heard, seen, and represented. I am grateful for the audience’s love that has opened doors for me, allowing me to transition from television to the world of films and OTT. Each story that I told became a bridge to connect with audiences on many levels. The unexpected turns this journey took are a testament to the power of love showered by the people of India and beyond. My heart is filled with gratitude, and a stronger resolve to make a positive impact through my work for audiences".
