Ekta Kapoor may have built an empire out of television dramas, but put a plate of sweets in front of her, and even the queen of twists has a weakness she cannot quite negotiate with. During a special episode of Sunday Brunch, Kamiya Jani, Editor-in-Chief of Curly Tales, visited Ekta Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor at their new home in Pune, where the conversation wandered from the siblings’ love for food to the very serious business of having a sweet tooth. And honestly, this was the kind of family gossip we would happily sit through an entire afternoon for.
Ekta Kapoor Reveals Her Favourite Sweet, And It Is A Bengali Classic
Ekta Kapoor, who has a famously candid way of talking about herself, described herself as an overfed Punjabi kid, explaining that she has always been a big foodie and considers herself on the chubbier side. She also made a confession that many dessert lovers will understand a little too well. While she can exercise some restraint when it comes to food, sweets are where her self-control apparently takes a vacation.
Naturally, Kamiya Jani wanted to know which mithai could make Ekta forget all about restraint. Her answer? Sandesh!
With Durga Puja approaching, the Bengali sweet was already on her mind. Ekta’s delighted response, “Ab to mera ho jayega,” said everything. Somewhere, a box of freshly made sandesh just became the most important item on her festive-season shopping list. Honestly, if there is ever a time to make room for your favourite mithai, it is during a festival.

Tusshar Kapoor Jokes About The Kapoor Siblings’ Eating Habits
But the food talk did not end there. Tusshar Kapoor offered a rather entertaining explanation of the Kapoor siblings’ eating habits, saying that they eat like Punjabis but put on weight like Sindhis, as they do have Sindhi genes too! Ekta Kapoor joined in with a playful remark about their thighs getting chubbier, and the sibling banter continued when Kamiya Jani revealed that she, too, belongs to the Sindhi community.
Ekta immediately welcomed her to the club, only to point out that Kamiya did not exactly look like a member of it because she was on the leaner side. It was the sort of teasing exchange that felt more like a conversation around a family dining table.
There was a favourite sweet, a little sibling roasting and the universal understanding that sometimes, the heart wants what it wants. And with Durga Puja around the corner, Ekta Kapoor has already made her priorities clear. Sandesh first, everything else later.
Stay tuned for the full Sunday Brunch episode to drop on the Curly Tales App and YouTube Channel, and Netflix.
