During an interactive session at the event, Kapoor said she failed to understand why she has to be married to settle down and why the two things linked at all.
"What I am asked a lot by journalists is, 'When are you settling down?' How much more do I need to settle down? I really don't understand why settling down is linked to getting married. For years, my father and mother saved the best of alcohol for my marriage," said the producer.
"This year, the defining moment of my life came when my father took all of that out on his 75th birthday. It was a celebration of today and not expectations of tomorrow," said Ekta, daughter of veteran actor Jeetendra.
Talking about his journey, the producer said, "My journey has been quite a paradox. I make movies which explore sexuality and TV shows which have very conservative families. And I think both are two sides of the same coin. I deal with everything with a pinch of salt. I am quite a feminist."
"Just because the woman is in a sari doesn't mean that she cannot shoot a gun. That is what I feel happens a lot on TV. I get a lot of women who expect me to conform because I do a lot of socially conservative TV, and they get bit of a shock like when they ask me, 'Girls today think about sex a lot' and I say, 'They do it as well'," added Ekta.
"I started doing family shows when I was 24 and films like 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' at 42. At a younger age, I have done more conservative stuff but as I aged, I did more of what I can call non-conformist work. I think we should not put ourselves into a box. We all need to realize that," she ended the conversation.
