The rivalry between Ekta Kapoor and Ram Kapoor in the Hindi television industry intensified after Ekta indirectly commented on Ram’s weight loss journey. In an Instagram video, she humorously asked her followers about weight loss methods, stating, “Let it be, I look good the way I am,” referencing Ram’s show “Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.” Ram had previously denied using Ozempic for weight loss, emphasizing his hard work for the transformation. Their feud goes back to Ram’s criticisms of an on-screen kiss, leading Ekta to assert that “unprofessional actors” should remain silent. Ram recently gained attention for losing 55 kg.
New Delhi:
The rivalry between the two notable Kapoors of the Hindi Television industry has intensified after Ekta Kapoor subtly mocked Ram Kapoor’s significant weight loss.
Producer Ekta Kapoor posted a video on Instagram seeking advice from her followers on weight loss methods. “Should I opt for pharmaceutical options like Mounjaro and Ozempic, adhere to an anti-inflammatory diet, or simply stay silent?” she questioned. However, her statement “Ya chhod doon, hum bade hi acche lagte hain (Let it be, I look good the way I am)” drew attention online—interpreted as a subtle jab at Ram Kapoor by referencing his serial’s title Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, especially as he claimed he didn’t resort to Ozempic for his weight loss.
Last month, Ram Kapoor released a video to refute rumors that he had utilized Ozempic to lose weight.
His post mentioned, “I don’t have the perfect body. The truth is that such a transformation demands significant effort and extensive hours… no shortcuts, no surgery, no Ozempic. That merely aids in weight loss, not the overall change. Right? In four to six months, I aim to achieve a solid six-pack with defined abs, and that’s the hard way. Understand? But for those who have chosen Ozempic or surgery, good for you.”
The altercation between Ram Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor can be traced back to when Ekta shared a cryptic post following the actor’s remarks about the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain controversy during an interview.
Ram Kapoor expressed his reluctance regarding an on-screen kiss with Sakshi Tanwar, while Ekta had approved it during his chat with Siddharth Kannan.
“As an actor, my job is to perform. I don’t owe anyone an explanation… My duty is to follow the script… How could I say this is something I won’t do? Then I wouldn’t be an actor… so I did nothing wrong,” Ram Kapoor stated in his defense.
In reply, Ekta Kapoor commented on her Instagram Story, “Unprofessional actors discussing my shows should remain silent! Misinformation and distorted narratives can only persist until I intervene…… but there is dignity in silence.”
Recently, Ram Kapoor made headlines after losing an impressive 55 kg.
