Taking to Instagram, Ekta shared a video with a powerful message: “Let’s normalize curves!” She recalled a conversation with an actress for an upcoming franchise—clarifying, “No, not Naagin”—where she encouraged the actress to gain weight in a healthy manner. She emphasized the importance of showing diverse body types on screen, saying, “There needs to be representation for women above 30 whose metabolism is affected by age and hormones.”

Her message struck a chord with many, including popular TV actresses. Divyanka Tripathi resonated with the thought, commenting, “I am there na! Representing them all—always struggling between sizes but never giving up!” Actress Rashami Desai also applauded Ektaa’s stance, saying, “In India, people focus on looks, weight, and age but ignore progress and achievements. This conversation is much needed!”
