Following in footsteps of her younger brother Tusshar Kapoor, TV czarina Ekta Kapoor has also embraced motherhood through surrogacy and welcomed her first child, a baby boy on January 27th. After the news made headlines since morning, the new mommy has finally come out herself confirming it and also reveals what she named her prince. Ekta took to Instagram to write a long message uploaded in two posts for her fans and friends announcing the arrival of her son which read - "By God's grace, I have seen many successes in my life, but nothing beats the feeling of this beautiful soul being added in my world. I cannot even begin to express how happy my baby's birth has made me. Everything in life doesn't go the way you want it to but there are always solutions to those hiccups. I found mine and today i feel immensely blessed to become a parent."

She continues further.. "It is an emotional moment for me and my family and i can't wait to begin this new journey of being a mother to my little bundle of joy, Ravie Kapoor".

Ekta names her son after her father and legendary Bollywood actor Jeetendra whose real name is Ravi Kapoor.

She posted the screenshot of the message above and captioned it - "Pls send ur love and blessings for lil ravie. ! JAI MATA DI JAI BALAJI"


In the next Instagram post, Ekta shares how she has been trying to be a mother for past 7 years but wasn't successful. She shared what her doctor had to say about it, in another screenshot of a typed message. She captioned this post - "Thanku doc nandita it’s been a 7 year journey!"

"Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, who guided Ekta throughout the process throws light on it and shares, "Ekta Kapoor came to me some years back to become a mother. We tried to help her get pregnant with multiple cycles of IUI and also multiple cycles of IVF. But we were unsuccessful. Hence, we had to take help of the technique of surrogacy which we performed 9 months back at our Bloom IVF centre. Nine months later she has achieved success with the birth of a child on Sunday".


As soon as the news came out on Thursday, celebrities and fans took to Twitter to wish Ekta Kapoor for the new chapter in her life.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta tweeted: "Many congratulations and lots of love dearest Ekta Kapoor. Welcome to parenthood and joy.

Actress Nimrat Kaur also congratulated Ekta Kapoor, who has backed hit TV shows like "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki" and "Naagin".

"Wishing you all the love and the most amazing adventures ever," Nimrat Kaur, who starred in Ekta Kapoor's web series "The Test Case", posted on Twitter.

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta found the news of the producer becoming a mother "the most heartening news this morning. Many congratulations Ekta. Welcome to the world and joy of parenting. God bless your baby with good health and lots of 'masti'".

Ekta Kapoor's brother and actor Tusshar Kapoor too had welcomed his son Laksshya via surrogacy in 2016 and the producer is a doting Bua to her nephew.
