Ram Kapoor BREAKS Silence On Fallout With Ekta Kapoor: 'She Can Say Whatever She Wants To'
Last Updated:
Ram's remarks during an interview didn't sit well with the Balaji Telefilms head. Without naming him directly, Ekta clapped back, labelling such behaviour as 'unprofessional.'
Ram Kapoor has finally broken his silence on the much-discussed fallout with producer Ekta Kapoor, a name synonymous with his television stardom. The iconic actor-producer duo, who created TV history with shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se, found themselves at odds recently after Ram commented on the controversial intimate scenes in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, reportedly penned by Ekta herself.
Ram's remarks during an interview didn't sit well with the Balaji Telefilms head. Without naming him directly, Ekta clapped back, labelling such behaviour as 'unprofessional." Matters escalated when Ram's wife, actress Gautami Kapoor, seemingly took a subtle dig at Ekta in response. The public spat grabbed headlines, leaving fans divided.
Now, addressing the situation in an interview with NDTV, Ram Kapoor said, 'She can say whatever she wants to, but I will not say a word. Because at the end of the day, she gave me what no one gave me."
Expressing deep gratitude, he continued, 'She believed in me when nobody else did. And for that, I will always be grateful. She has the right to say whatever she wants to about me till the end of my career."
He also addressed Gautami's cryptic post, downplaying it as playful banter. 'My wife knows where I stand. It was all in good fun," Ram said. He then reiterated, 'You cannot forget what someone has done for you."
The rift began when Ram implied in an interview that Ekta had to deal with the aftermath of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain's romantic scenes. Ekta responded fiercely on social media, writing, 'Unprofessional actors giving interviews about my shows should shut up. False information and skewed stories can only last till I talk. But there is dignity in silence."
In another apparent jibe at Ram's physical transformation, Ekta posted a video joking about weight loss and body image, referencing the show title: 'Hum bade hi acche lagte hain."

NDTV Exclusive: Renuka Shahane On Her Animated Film LoopLine Receiving 'A' Certificate From CBFC
New Delhi: Renuka Shahane's latest directorial venture, the animated short film LoopLine, has received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). While some might raise eyebrows at an animated film being deemed suitable only for adult audiences, Shahane is unbothered and firmly stands by the CBFC's decision. Speaking to NDTV, the actor-director clarified that LoopLine is not meant for children. "You know, actually it is mature content, and I don't want children to see it," she said. Shahane acknowledged that animated films are often automatically associated with children but stressed that such assumptions can be misleading. "Usually when animation is concerned, they're very careful because when you put out an animation film, children might think it's for us but it's not. Even parents for that matter." She emphasised the importance of a clear demarcation in content when it comes to format versus audience. "That decision factor has to be put out that listen, this is not something that caters to children. So, I'm okay with that," she said of the adult rating. LoopLine, which has been made primarily for the film festival circuit, does not have a commercial theatrical release planned. This, Shahane said, makes the A certification less of a concern. "If you have a theatrical release, then you can have a problem with an A certificate, but I had made it with an idea of sending it to film festivals," she explained.
