Ram Kapoor breaks his silence on weight loss and Ozempic use in Farah Khan's vlog: 'If your doctor asks you to take...'
The 'Bade Ache Lagte Hain' actor Ram Kapoor has grabbed eyeballs on social media, especially after his dramatic physical transformation, sparking a buzz that he may have taken Ozempic, a popular diabetes drug that also reduces weight as a side effect. However, Ram Kapoor has never really opened up on the same, until his recent appearance on filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan's vlog. In one of the most recent vlogs, 'Main Hoon Na' director paid a visit to Ram Kapoor and his wife Gautami Kapoor's house, along with her beloved cook Dilip. The vlog starts with light-hearted banter and heartwarming exchanges between the trio, making for an entertaining video. However, apart from this, Ram Kapoor's candid behaviour in the vlog stood out the most. Ram talked about a number of things, including his body transformation. Ram Kapoor talks about Smriti Irani's weight loss The 51-year-old actor has undergone an incredible weight loss transformation, which he has often discussed on his social media handle, but apart from his own transformation, the Kapoor commented on actress and former Minister of Education of India, Smriti Irani's fitness journey as well. According to Kapoor, when Smriti Irani started 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and when she ended, she was huge. "Her logic was, now I have played a character who has taken so many leaps. 'Now I am playing a grandmother.' So you see her from the first year of Kyunki to last year; you will notice that she is as big as I am. We were equally successful," he said. He said he even spoke to her about it. She was simply staying true to her role. When she joined the show, she started as a wife, then became a mother, and over its eight-year run, the story had several time leaps. She let herself physically grow with the character. Had she stayed in television, she might have become even more popular than men. But she chose to move into politics, and she's doing really well there. Did Ram Kapoor lose weight to get films? During the vlog, Farah also asked Kapoor that, after the weight loss, he receive more work opportunities, to which Kapoor responded by saying 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. Regardless of my size, I've always continued to get work." He said he didn't lose weight for his career or professional reasons — he did it for himself, and he had made a promise that he would do it when he turns 50. Ram Kapoor talks about the use of Ozempic The conversation then goes on, and the actor also candidly talks about the weight loss drug Ozempic. He revealed that if your doctor asks you to take the medicine, will you listen to the doctor or to those who are on social media? "Also, people say it's a shortcut. You have only one life. If your doctor asks you to take the shortcut, take it," he added. Kapoor believes in healthy living and says, 'Live your life as healthily as you can. Why the hell will you not take a shortcut if the doctor is telling you to?'
