Mumbai, March 9 – Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor surprised her fans by revealing on her social media account that she had watched a cricket match for the first time, while enjoying the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final that took place on March 8.
Ekta shared a video on her official social media account, showing her watching the high-stakes match between India and New Zealand in a mini-theatre along with actress Urvashi Dholakia and other members of her team. Her best friend, Sussanne Khan, also joined in the fun shortly after.
In the video clip she shared, Ekta was seen recording a video during the match and candidly admitted that she was experiencing cricket for the very first time.
She said, “This is the first time I'm watching cricket, because other people in the world like cricket, but not me. I don't.”
Ekta made it clear that she was rooting for Team India and jokingly asked fans to watch her show, "Naagin," during the breaks in the match. She added, “Of course, we are hoping India wins. India should win. But if you guys watch ‘Naagin’ during the break, it will be fun.”
Later in the video, Ekta was also seen welcoming interior designer Sussanne Khan and her boyfriend, Arslan Goni, to the mini-theatre as they joined the team to enjoy the match together.
