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

Farah Khan shows renovated kitchen to cook Dilip, says she had issues with wooden cabinets: ‘Mujhe cockroach ki bahut problem thi'
Farah Khan, who whips up unique dishes with celebrities on her YouTube cooking channel with her cook Dilip, recently renovated her kitchen. In the latest episode, she showed Dilip, who returned from his hometown, the new refurbished kitchen and also shared a 'mini flashback' with a kitchen specialist who helped her with the makeover. 'The old kitchen was done nicely by them. Now I am bored with the flat-panel kitchen. So, I need a swanky, five-star hotel kitchen,' shared Farah. The new kitchen has stainless steel cabinets customised especially for her. 'That is very good because mujhe cockroach ki bahut problem hoti thi. (I had a major cockroach problem.) Wood me paani ghus ghus ke smell hota hai, it rots and is a smelly kitchen (Wood absorbs water, so it smells). So, jab se, stainless steel ka daala hai andar, it is hygienic to another level (Ever since I have opted for stainless steel cabinets, it is hygienic to another level),' added Farah. During the episode, she chose blue, her 'favourite and lucky colour,' and wooden panels for the finish. 'Wooden finish gives a colonial look. Dilip ji ko specially panels chahiye hai na,' the specialist said. Why are stainless steel cabinets preferred over wooden ones? Chef Shipra Khanna agreed that wooden kitchen cabinets, especially over time, become highly porous and can trap moisture, food particles, and odours, which creates an 'ideal breeding ground for cockroaches'. She shared that the functionality of stainless steel extends beyond wooden ones. 'Unlike wood susceptible to termite damage, warping, and is high maintenance, stainless steel surfaces are non-porous, seamless, and far easier to sanitise,' Khanna told According to her, this makes them far less inviting to pests and also prevents the buildup of lingering smells that can attract cockroaches and other insects. 'Transitioning to stainless steel counters and cabinetry not only improves hygiene but also significantly reduces pest infestations in the long run,' said Khanna.
