However, producer Ektaa Kapoor recently offered a reality check, revealing that such assumptions are far from the truth. One often sees actors like <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/salman-khan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Salman Khan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/shah-rukh-khan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> throw lavish birthday parties for their close friends from the industry. But one wonders what would people be gifting these big stars. Ektaa shared during a chat with MK Talks, \u201cPeople don&#8217;t usually carry gifts to birthdays, especially for big names like Salman or Shah Rukh Khan. What would you even take to their birthdays?\u201d referring to stars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.  <\/p>\n<p> Watch<\/p>\n<p> Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, Ekta Kapoor Join Race As Dhurandhar Effect Grips Bollywood She went on to explain that even she doesn\u2019t indulge much in birthday celebrations. \u201cI actually don&#8217;t attend many birthdays. On my own birthday, I go to Tirupati and don&#8217;t invite anyone. If you ask normally what one gives at a big person&#8217;s birthday, I&#8217;ve mostly seen that people only offer blessings,\u201d she said.Breaking the stereotype of extravagant Bollywood parties, Ektaa added, \u201cThis impression about the film industry, that expensive gifts are exchanged, people drink heavily, and party all the time, is not true.\u201dIn fact, she described the industry as surprisingly subdued. \u201cIn fact, you won&#8217;t find a more boring industry than this. The film industry is the most boring industry,\u201d she remarked, noting that many stars maintain disciplined routines, sleeping early, waking up on time, and prioritising their health over late-night indulgence.On the work front, Ektaa\u2019s upcoming film Bhooth Bangla is slated to release on April 17. The horror-comedy features <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/akshay-kumar\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Akshay Kumar<\/a> in the lead, alongside Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, and Wamiqa Gabbi in key roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bollywood\u2019s glitzy birthday bashes often spark curiosity about the kind of lavish gifts stars might receive.
