Ekta is afraid of heights, says Tusshar Kapoor

TV czarina Ekta Kapoor is believed to be an intimidating personality, but she too has her fears.

"Ekta's very afraid of heights and darkness. She's afraid of helicopters," said her brother, actor Tusshar Kapoor.

Though Ekta, one of the top contenders of Big CBS Prime and Bloomberg TV India's "India's Prime Icon", is a hard task master, she has a soft side too.

"Ekta is such a good leader and a hard task master. It's because of her professional qualities that people don't realise her softer side. Her friendships with people, her emotional side, which is her personality outside of her work area, is something people are not aware of," said Tusshar.

"She's also constantly donating and doing things for the old. She's always donating things to the poor old women and they depend on her for small favours and Ekta keeps pampering them. I think that's a very kind gesture and that comes from her heart," he added.
