Ekta advises the aspiring actors, who approach her through different means for a break, not to stalk her. She told the reporters, "I would like to tell them that don't stalk me. Don't follow me, or take my number and drop me texts. Don't meet me in a park. That's called stalking."
Ekta Has An Advice For The Aspiring Actors!
She asks them to share their work, she says, "Don't ask you politician and bureaucrat uncles to get you cast. That's a dampener. Tape your work and if that reaches me then be rest assured that if you fit the role, you will be cast. Your legacy or background will not matter."
