Ram Kapoor, a known television and film actor has recently received media attention due to previous on-screen portrayals and discussions regarding production conflicts which have surfaced. This has added more intrigue to many areas of his established career.
Ram Kapoor has had a long and well respected career and is considered a seasoned and experienced performer in Bollywood, Television and other avenues in the acting community. He is particularly notable for his role as the lead character on "Bade Acche Lagte Hai," but this is only one notable example in a large and interesting resume.
In “Bade Achhe Lagte Hain”, Ram played a lead role with Sakshi Tanwar which is what made it into a popular series in 2011. The series was especially notable for a kissing scene between characters which was a first on Indian Television which gained great popularity and attention from it’s fanbase and the public eye. The on screen chemistry was seen as a big reason for the success of the show.
A recent interview given by Kapoor revisited a kissing scene which garnered significant media attention as there were concerns about how this moment would be portrayed and his experiences with that at the time.
During his recent interview, Kapoor explained he had certain hesitations about the kiss at the time but his role required him to follow the script and to do what was asked by his producers. He claims that the decision was made by producer Ekta Kapoor and his role was just to perform as he was instructed to. In this specific moment in the interview he was said to seek approval of both his wife and his co-star to make sure that they both agreed to it as well.
After his interview about the show went viral his remarks seemed to not sit well with producer Ekta Kapoor who later put out a cryptic post where it seemed like a response to the actor regarding his perspective in the conversation. Though no one was specifically named the timing had a large public reaction.
In her instagram story Ekta Kapoor stated that “ unprofessional actors should shut up! False information and skewed stories can only last until i talk but there is a dignity in silence.” This strong message is in direct juxtaposition of Ram Kapoor’s remarks as he shared his opinions regarding the controversial events from "Bade Achhe Lagte Hai."
Fans took to social media immediately after the posts and it was suggested that her response was directed towards Ram Kapoor. There were many conversations over who she may have been talking to yet many drew a conclusion from previous interviews and comments. This creates more speculation and views on what may have went on behind the scenes at production time.
Many had said they admired Ram's openness for sharing his view on what took place in a respectful way, whereas others wondered what else may be going on as there is often tension during production. The discussions ranged across a diverse area of viewers from the topic and all different levels of thought were highlighted on social platforms. The public conversations ranged and included all points of views while adding fuel to a growing controversy.
Though much of his known work was in TV many do not know about "In the Heart of the Sea". The movie, which features Holland and Chris Hemsworth was not popular at it's initial release and received mixed reviews. However after being on Netflix the show has had another life in a way they didn't anticipate.
"In the Heart of the Sea," experienced a resurgence in views on Netflix ten years after initial theatrical release. The new viewership proves some old titles that were once known as a flop can see an entirely new approach at the home platform making old movies become new for new audiences.
The article also has shown how he does have a lot of fans with even his co stars knowing a thing or two about his fanbase.
During an event where he showed his admiration for his co-star from the popular series Game Changer the fanbase was also highlighted as an tragic event took place and two fans of the film were killed while trying to return from a preview showing. There has been conversation of financial aid from the studio but this tragedy is a very stark look into how impactful events and fan experiences are in today's media.
