Ahead of the 71st Republic Day, names of 118 awardees who will be conferred with the Padma Shri Awards on Sunday have been announced. Popularly hailed as the queen of all three formats of content, Ekta Kapoor will be awarded India's fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri this year.
Expressing her joy over the news, Ekta Kapoor shares, "Overwhelmed & Emotional! My foray into the industry started when I was just 17. I constantly heard I was 'too young', 'too raw' and it was 'too soon' to make things happen. Through the years I've realised it's never 'too soon' to live out your dreams and being 'too young' is probably the best thing.
