When Ektaa Kapoor Created History With Her Emmy Win
In 2023, Kapoor created history as she became India’s first woman filmmaker to bag the prestigious Directorate Award at the International Emmy Awards. Later, in an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, the filmmaker opened up on shattering the glass ceiling and what it means for every woman in Indian cinema who has defied every rule in the male-dominated industry. “I think women in Indian art, media, OTT, television, and films have been usually marginalised with thoughts like ‘yeh women-oriented film hai’ or this is a women-oriented subject or that an actress can’t lead a film,” she said.
Kapoor also took the opportunity to hail her female contemporaries for redefining Indian content and how they’ve changed the game with their acumen. “Various unspoken rules have been broken by female makers like Zoya Akhtar, Meghna Gulzar, and even like television makers like Gul Khan. OTT heads like Aparna (Purohit) and Monica (Shergill) are women who create new benchmarks on how to do things on a day-to-day basis,” she added.
