The first thing you feel as a mother is guilt: Ekta Kapoor on embracing motherhood

Ekta Kapoor recently welcomed her son, Ravie Kapoor, to the world and after having him through surrogacy. Now in an interview, the TV czarina opened up on embracing motherhood and said that being a mother means dealing with guilt all the time. "I think the first thing you think as a mother is guilt. I don't think anyone would say that so openly. I am at work, I am feeling guilty, when I am at home, there is a lot of guilt about not completing the things that I used to normally do. So you are just dealing with various kinds of guilt. Then it's responsibility and third is a feeling that there's someone there that you want to see grow. It's a bit confusing at this moment," she stated.

Recalling the time she found out she was going to be a mom, Ekta said, "When I knew that the surrogate had conceived and it was on June 7. On my birthday I got to know. I was a bit overwhelmed. I was like 'Okay this is happening. This is going to be a huge responsibility. I just wrote a show out which is going to be with an A-list Bollywood actress. It's called Mentalhood. It's about motherhood and every time we did the scripting about the Momzillas and the pressure you go through, the guilt you go through, tiger moms, helicopter moms, I was constantly feeling overwhelmed. But now I have realised that I have a lot of guilt even now."
