Starting from her early days of struggle when top-rated channels rejected her initial projects, she also talks about that how her father Jeetendra fought against the people's old mentality and support his useless daughter.  “For my brother’s education abroad, my mother had to pawn her jewellery and my father invested all his money through me.” One person even told her father, “You should have bought her gold instead. In reply her father said that "gold should be within her, what will she do with gold outside?’” The faith bestowed upon her by her father made her even more determined.

In her speech, Ekta also spoke about her daily soap's popular female characters and how she tried to empower women through those shows during that time. As her shows had females playing the heroes and even the villains.

Ekta added in her speech that anything you want to do the passion is very important for it but for women, it is difficult to give priority to her passion because she has to play many roles in her life. So, ultimately passion becomes secondary for women and to put other’s needs before them. She said if you want to dance on an item song then just do it forget about people judgements for it.
