Ram Kapoor and wife Gautami Kapoor are one of TV’s power couples. The two first met on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir and tied the knot on February 14, 2003. They are blessed with two kids – a daughter, Sia, and a son, Aks. The two were co-stars about 20 years ago. As much as their fans are eager to watch them together on screen, they’ve not been able to pull it off given their individual commitments.
Recently, in an interaction with a leading daily, Gautami was asked why she and hubby Ram aren’t participating in the popular dance reality show Nach Baliye. To which Gautami replied, “Well, participating in reality shows we haven’t thought of. Also, we were offered Nach Baliye quite a few times. But every time they called us either Ram was busy or I was pregnant. They called us four times I guess but somehow it did not happen. I have had my pregnancies, both of them almost one after the other and there is not much of a gap in between both my kids. And now I guess the makers are fed up of calling us.”
Gautami also added, “Well, on a serious note we haven’t thought of it. Maybe dancing for once or twice is okay, but doing it for like a competition, don’t know how much will it be possible or comfortable.”
On being asked about sharing screen space with Ram once again, Gautami stated, “If someone offers something good for both of us, why not. I would love to work with my husband. My husband was my co-star 20 years ago, so why not now again? I have heard such nice things about him being a good co-star from all his fellow colleagues, so why not experience it again. Also, we know each other so well that it would be fun to work together.”
In the same interview, Gautami also made an interesting revelation. She spoke about how fans though Ram was married to Bade Achhe Lagte Hain co-actor Sakshi Tanwar in real life. She said, “There was a phase when fans thought that Sakshi Tanwar was his real wife, during the Bade Acche Lagte Hain times and that was quite amusing. When we would travel abroad on a family trip, people would give me weird looks and wonder who this lady was with Ram in place of Sakshi. But with social media now, people thankfully know that I am his lawfully wedded wife.”
Ram has been in the news lately for his tremendous transformation. Talking about his weight loss journey, the actor told a leading daily, “I was 130 kgs when I started and I want to lose another 25-30 kgs. I decided that if I wanted to do achieve my weight goals, I will have to take time off from work. It would need to be a substantial length of time — six months to a year.”
You go, Ram!
