Ekta Kapoor has always been open about her faith and religious beliefs. As the world is currently dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic which has, among other things, also caused religious places to close, people across faiths have been observing their prayers, including on key religious occasions and festivals. In such an unprecedented situation, Ekta Kapoor took to her social media to share a video from Mumbai's famed Siddhivinayak Temple where the pandit is performing aarti, and gave a ‘digital darshan' to the devotees. Ekta Kapoor captioned her post, “For all those who visit SIDDHI VINAYAK on Tuesday’s A digital darshan 🤗😆🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰😆🤘🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️☺️☺️!AUM GANPATAY NAMHA ‘”.

She was wished by several film and television personalities, including Karisma Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sonam Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Anil Kapoor, Divyanka Tripathi, Karan Wahi, Arjun Bijlani, Hina Khan and Karan Johar.

This year also, despite being in the middle of a pandemic, Ekta Kapoor followed the ritual. She did visit Siddhi Vinayak, but as the temple was shut, she prayed from outside the temple itself. She took to her official Instagram account and put up a picture as her story of the temple from outside. She captioned the picture, “Darshan from outside ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻”.
