"It started as a hobby, but after seeing these kind of overwhelming responses I am not sure if I am gonna stop writing and aceing,” said Ekta who spoke exclusively to Springlight. “There are moments in life when we go through hell lot of emotional pain – not to harm us, but to hint us that it needs healing. My way of healing was to follow my passion which gave birth to the writer in me. ” She received certificates of appreciation from ‘Bishara Publications’ clubbed with ‘Siyahi Vocal’, Notion Press and Manda Publisher for her contribution to the anthologies.
