Mumbai, Feb 1: Renowned producer Ektaa Kapoor, who delivered the hit female-led film Crew last year, is striving to combat the deteriorating air quality in Mumbai. She recently shared a video on Instagram showing herself undergoing Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy (HIT), a treatment gaining attention for its potential benefits in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Mumbai’s worsening air pollution, exacerbated by vehicular emissions and widespread construction activities, has led to a rise in respiratory ailments. Kapoor’s move highlights growing concerns about the city's hazardous air quality and the measures people are adopting to protect themselves.

Apart from her health-conscious approach, Ektaa Kapoor recently praised Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan for her immense contribution to the industry over the past two decades. The television mogul, daughter of veteran actor Jeetendra, is credited with revolutionizing Indian television with her family-centric daily soaps.

Starting her career at just 17, Ektaa redefined storytelling with iconic serials such as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Pavitra Rishta, and Naagin, making Balaji Telefilms a household name. Her contributions earned her prestigious accolades, including the Padma Shri and the International Emmy Directorate Award at the 51st International Emmy Awards.

With over 130 successful shows to her name, Ektaa Kapoor remains one of the most influential figures in Indian entertainment, continuously shaping both television and cinema.
