Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Union Minister Smriti Irani took a heartfelt journey back in time to celebrate the 50th birthday of television mogul Ektaa Kapoor, the very producer who launched her into stardom. In a touching social media post, Irani lauded Kapoor not just as a hitmaker, but as a foundational pillar of support in many people's lives, including her own.
Sharing a nostalgic throwback photo of the two from their early days, Irani wrote, "She is the quiet strength behind many journeys... a mentor, a friend, a sister who I stand in awe of."
The post is a powerful tribute to a friendship and professional partnership that has spanned over two decades.

The show's monumental success was a turning point for both women, cementing Kapoor's status as the "TV Czarina" and paving the way for Irani's future, which eventually led her from acting to national politics.
In her message, Irani emphasized Kapoor's behind-the-scenes influence, noting her tendency to uplift others without seeking the spotlight. She acknowledged that while the world sees the glamorous producer, she knows the steadfast friend who has been a constant source of strength. This deeply personal note highlights an enduring bond that has outlasted career changes, fame, and time, celebrating a half-century milestone with genuine gratitude and admiration.
