Talking about her childhood memories with Sridevi, Ekta took it to Instagram and wrote, "Woman’s day is everyday!!! But today I’ll remember a woman who gave me a childhood joy like no other! I lost touch with her when I grew up but the fat child in me had a silent approval of India’s first female superstar! My mom will always b my biggest hero but this woman’s day is for that hero who first showed me ‘ strong women support women( even if she is much younger)".
