Ekta J Kapoor, born on June 7, 1975, is the creative head of Balaji Telefilms. She is the daughter of the legendary Indian actor Jeetendra and sister of current actor Tusshar Kapoor.

Ekta Kapoor has produced and co-produced numerous soap operas, television series and films. Her most famous television venture has been Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which started airing on STAR Plus in 2000. Since then, the show has continuously been among the top rated programs on Indian television. Today, Ekta Kapoor dominates Indian television, producing more than eight television soaps for STAR Plus, India's leading general entertainment channel. At the 6th Indian Telly Awards 2006, she bagged the Hall of Fame award for having contributed immensely to the Indian television industry. Most of her creations begin with the letter "K" due to her superstition that it brings her good luck and fantadtic reputation.

Despite the popularity of her soaps, Ekta has received criticism for her controversial and bold scenes. Her soaps have been accused of poor acting, using false eloborate sets and repetitive, inane plots. Especially controversial is her portrayal of female characters, either shown as epitomes of truthfulness, obedience and grace or painted as loud, villanous vamps that constantly scheme against the protagonists. She has also produced five Bollywood films out of which Kyaa Kool Hai Hum starring her brother Tusshar has been the most successful.
