Head honcho of Balaji Telefilms, Balaji Motion Pictures, and Content Czarina, Ekta Kapoor celebrated her 50th birthday on June 7 with a glamorous party attended by close friends from the entertainment industry. The grand celebration saw the presence of Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Anita Hassanandani, Urvashi Dholakia, Neelam Kothari Soni, Krystle D'Souza, Amar Upadhyay, among others.
Several inside photos and videos from the birthday bash have surfaced on social media. One particular clip, which has gone viral, shows Ekta letting her hair down and dancing with full enthusiasm to Malaika Arora's iconic song Munni Badnaam Hui. Also joining Ekta were actors Urvashi, Anita, and other close friends.
However, some netizens criticised Ekta's outfit and her dance moves, calling them too bold for the occasion.
Another video doing the rounds shows Krystle Dsouza, a close friend of Ekta, was captured smoking during the party.
Producer Sandiip Sikcand also shared several inside pictures from the celebration on Instagram with the caption, "Bonds that last a lifetime."
Fashion designer Manish Malhotra took to Instagram Stories to wish Ekta, writing, "Happy happy 50th my dearest Ekta." The picture also featured Karan Johar posing with the birthday girl.
