Ace television and film producer Ekta Kapoor rang in her 45th birthday today. Making the occasion special for her, celebrities and fans from all across the globe are pouring in birthday wishes. From friends to admirers, Ekta's social media is flooded with sweet messages. From Karisma Kapoor, Hina Khan to Anita Hassanandani, Ekta's leading actresses left no stone unturned to make her feel special.

Hina Khan aka Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2's former Komolika, penned down a heartfelt note along with gorgeous pictures. "You were an inspiration to me before I was an actor or I decided to be a part of the industry. I think a smart woman like you would be aware ...that you sow dreams in people’s hearts n minds. In more ways than one, you and your magic on screen gave a regular girl the dream which looked closer than the horizon. But the best part about you is .. your nature .. you are so so sweet.. I always considered you to be the maverick of Bollywood. But when I met you .. you the real person .. behind the brand .. the factory .. the glamour.. the status .. the star that you are .. I found a mischievous girl who was always excited about her actions... stressed about her challenges yet confident enough on her craft.. you made me feel I am meeting just a regular girl like me .. who likes to share .. to speak and who likes to be the vector of her own dreams .. I thank you for always being there and being the source of inspiration that you are .. Happy Happy Birthday.. Dear @ektarkapoor @ek_ek_ekoo You know I love you tons.. Muuuuuuah #HappyBirthdayEktaKapoor," Hina wrote.

Mouni Roy wrote, "Even though I should mention things that wouldn’t have happened if she @ektarkapoor wasn’t born, am just gonna note down a few here on this happy occasion of her happy happy birthday ~ 1. (Starting with the obvious) there wouldn’t be a “Balaji Telefilms” and many of us would be jobless 2. The saas es and the bahu s wouldn’t be the stars of the indian household 3. The most famous indian ‘soap’ would be lifeboy 4. The torrid reel to real life on set love stories wouldn’t have transpired 5. “Shapeshifting snakes” wouldn’t be as cool ♥ 6. The gram wouldn’t have stolen the idea of boomerangs (you practicality invented it ) 7. Saari bindi and jhumkis would be a lot less sexy. 8. We wouldn’t have known the concept of a rock solid leader, guide and a friend Jokes & fun aside, you are lovelier and more special than all the prose & poetry compiled together and I pray you smile bright today & erry’day ... happyyyyy birthday my dearest ekta maam I LOVEE YOU very much..". The actress shared pictures with Ekta along with the note.
