Producer Ekta Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of her next production ‘Fittrat’, opened up on her personal life saying that she can’t give the remote of her life to anyone else. She also added that she is in a happy space and she doesn’t understand how marriage is considered the only thing for personal happiness.

Ekta Kapoor was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of ‘Fittrat’ along with cast members Krystle D’souza, Anushka Ranjan, Aditya Seal and the show’s director Santosh Singh on Wednesday in Mumbai.

Ekta said that people still ask her when she is going to get married. “Till now, people ask me ‘when are you going to settle down in life?’ I don’t understand how much should I achieve more to feel settled down. I think it’s considered that women have to find someone to sort themselves out. In my own personal life, I have been told many times that ‘this career is okay but you will have to get married to find personal happiness’,” she said.

Ekta added: “I think I am in a pretty happy space because happiness of a person cannot be decided by other people. It has to be decided by me. If I have to get something for myself, then I have to be responsible for it and not another person. I can’t give the remote of my life to anyone else. If I have to buy myself shoes or clothes, I have to make a show like this and I have to be responsible for it and it is time we tell our girls that. There is one line in the show that goes, ‘somebody will not buy you gold, the gold is within you’.
