Ram Kapoor Says ‘My Name Is Not Khan' When Asked About Work Offers After Weight Loss

Last Updated: Farah, visibly surprised, playfully made faces at his self-deprecating comment and countered, 'He is a big star.' Ram Kapoor's dramatic weight loss has been the talk of the town, sparking both praise and speculation. Recently, the actor welcomed filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan to his home, alongside her cook Dilip, for a vlog-style visit. The candid exchange that followed left fans smiling and gave insight into how the Mistry actor sees his own journey. Farah, known for her sense of humour, began the interaction on a light note, asking Dilip if he recognised Ram. Dilip jokingly called him 'Tiger Shroff" and compared Gautami Kapoor to Deepika Padukone, much to everyone's amusement. As Farah explored their home, she complimented Ram for losing weight at the age of 50 and asked if he was getting more work post-transformation. Ram's response struck a chord. 'Some people reach a level where they get work because they have nothing more to prove. I am no star, I'll never be a star, my name is not Khan," he said. 'Main size mein bada hoon ya chhota, kaam milta hai. Maine yeh kaam ke liye nahi kiya, career ke liye nahi kiya, apne aap ke liye kiya." (Whether I'm big or small in size, I still get work. I didn't lose weight for my career, I did it for myself.) Farah, visibly surprised, playfully made faces at his self-deprecating comment and countered, 'He is a big star." Ram Kapoor is currently seen in Mistry, a Hindi adaptation of the American detective series Monk. He plays a former Mumbai Police officer suffering from OCD, who assists ACP Sehmat Siddiqui, played by Mona Singh, in cracking complicated cases. The show also stars Shikha Talsania, Kshitish Date, and Namantar Rajendra, and is streaming on JioHotstar. First Published: July 02, 2025, 04:27 IST

Abhishek Bachchan Opens Up On Living With Aishwarya, Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan: 'I've Never Felt Lost'

The Guru actor lives in a star-studded joint family that includes his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, father Amitabh Bachchan, mother Jaya Bachchan, and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan, who recently completed 25 years in the film industry, is currently gearing up for the release of his next, Kaalidhar Laapata, premiering on ZEE5 on July 4, 2025. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, the actor opened up about his family life, approach to solitude, and how he maintains emotional balance while playing intense roles. While many actors immerse themselves in isolation to get into character, Abhishek calls himself an exception. 'I have never felt lost or the need to get away from everything. I am a people person," he shared. 'I have my moments when I need my solitude. It is very important and essential for an actor. But not for a longer time. I need someone to talk to." The Guru actor lives in a star-studded joint family that includes his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, father Amitabh Bachchan, mother Jaya Bachchan, and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. When asked about the dynamics at home, he offered an amusing yet insightful take: 'It's funny. My household is very funny, and we are all actors. We all like to hang out together, and then suddenly everyone just goes back to their own personal spaces." He continued, 'That comes naturally because for actors it is important to spend time with yourself and get to know yourself. Self-discovery is something that we rarely do. It's essential, but I would never want to be a loner." Abhishek, who made his debut in 2000 opposite Kareena Kapoor in Refugee, has been experimenting with diverse roles and genres. With Kaalidhar Laapata, a gripping thriller, he aims to continue his streak of performance-driven roles. The trailer has already struck a chord with audiences, building anticipation for its digital release. First Published:
