Ekta’s on a sprint

Ekta Kapoor has started losing it. The flab we mean. Hang around the Juhu bungalow of dad Jeetendra around two in the afternoon and you will surely see the uncrowned queen of the television industry coming out for a 45 minute jog along with her entourage— her driver, maid and bodyguards.

Half an hour before Ekta’s outing, you will see a few women huddling together on the pavement on the opposite side of her bungalow. That’s because before Ekta emerges, her maid comes out with food and money “for the destitute”. After the money and food is distributed, it’s time for Ekta to come out for a jog clutching on to her iPod.

Ekta is conscious of the weight that she has put on recently and is very serious about her fitness routine. She wants to lose weight very fast, according to her close pals. And nope, she is not planning to take part in the upcoming marathon.

“I have started to jog everyday now. It’s a great way to lose weight,” was her SMS to us just after coming back from the jog on Wednesday. The message also had two smileys in it.

We are smiling for sure, Ekta!
