Ekta Kapoor's observing rozas!

Ekta Kapoor has been keeping rozas (fasts) for years, but this time it’s more special. While every year she  fasts for one day during the month of Ramzan, this time she is fasting for  the whole week!

A source tells us, “Her next film, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara, was to release on Eid and she had decided to fast for a longer time this year. The release date was later postponed by a week to August 15. She had major plans for this film. Ekta was to host iftaar parties across India, and then celebrate Eid.

For her, this is a very special film and the filmmaker wants it to succeed for many reasons. That’s why she has kept the fast for a longer period this time.”

She has been observing the rozas strictly, despite her hectic schedule and every evening breaks the fast in her office with dry fruits etc. Adds the insider, “She has been keeping fasts for years now. Earlier she would keep it for one day, then she increased to three, later five and this year — for the first time — she’s fasting for seven days. It’s tough keeping them with her hectic schedule and travelling but Ekta is very determined.”
