The entire Kapoor family, including father Jeetendra, mother Shobu Kapoor and brother Tusshar Kapoor were very happy with the new arrival.
Bollywood celebrities congratulated Ekta, welcoming her to “Parenthood.”
Kapoor who is renowned in the world of Indian television for co-producing soaps such as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (2000-2008) reportedly became a mother on January 27, 2019.
Ekta made an official announcement about her baby boy through an Instagram statement on January 31, 2019.
Revealing the name in her post, Kapoor captioned it: “Please send your luv and blessings for lil Ravie.”
Ekta named her son Ravie Kapoor after the original name of her father Jeetendra. Excerpts from her statement post read:
“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.

Kapoor decided to go down the surrogacy route after she was unable to carry her own child.
Ekta also posted a statement from her doctor, captioning it:
“Thanku doc nandita it’s been a 7 year journey!”
Doctor Nandita who helped Kapoor with the process states:
“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 nine months back at our Bloom IVF center.
“Nine months later she had achieved success with the birth of a child on Sunday.”
Bollywood celebrities went on Twitter to congratulate the new mother.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who has worked with Ekta Kapoor for the web-series Bose: Dead/Alive (2017) tweeted:
