MUMBAI: Popular producer Ekta Kapoor, whose latest film "Veere Di Wedding" is being lauded by many, will bring in her birthday in Tirupati on Thursday instead of hosting a lavish party. She says she gets "terribly reflective" on birthdays.

"No party for tomorrow (Thursday)! As always I'll travel to Tirupati today alone and bring in my birthday in front of the Almighty. Come back for dinner with family tomorrow. I get terribly reflective on birthdays," Ekta tweeted on Wednesday.

Even before the release of "Veere Di Wedding" on June 1, Ekta visited the Ajmer Sharif Dargah to pray for good fortune for the film.

For her launch in showbiz, she started with TV shows in the mid-1990s. Among her popular shows are "Hum Paanch", "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki", "Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii" and "Naagin".

She has also produced and distributed films like "Love Sex aur Dhokha", "The Dirty Picture", "Udta Punjab" and "Lipstick Under My Burkha".
