Ektaa Kapoor on Bollywood’s Realities
Bollywood stars often throw lavish birthday parties that turn into star-studded affairs, with several industry colleagues in attendance. In a recent conversation with MK Talks, filmmaker Ektaa Kapoor revealed what people usually take as gifts when attending the birthday parties of superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan .
She added, “This impression about the film industry, that expensive gifts are exchanged, people drink heavily, and party all the time, is not true. In fact, you won’t find a more boring industry than this. The film industry is the most boring industry.” She further explained that everyone sleeps by 8 pm, wakes up early, and eats less food to focus on work and health. She added that the industry is not as glamorous or wild as people imagine.
Gifts at SRK & Salman’s Birthday Bashes
Last year, when Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 60th birthday, the actor hosted a star-studded party attended by celebrities including Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Rani Mukerji. Several videos and photos from the event surfaced online.
