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

Maa Day 5 India Box Office: Kajol led supernatural-drama sees a slight surge due to Discount Tuesday; Nets Rs 2.75 crore
Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and starring Kajol, Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and others, grew in collections from Monday on Tuesday, as the movie managed Rs 2.75 crore. The growth for the movie has come due to the 'Discount Tuesday' offer where tickets for the movie in most theatres are available at prices of Rs 149 or under. With this, the 5 day total of Kajol 's movie stands at Rs 22.75 crore. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Maa Are As Under Maa Heads For A Rs 27 Crore Net Week 1 Maa shall see a customary drop in collections on Wednesday as ticket prices return to normal weekday levels, leading to less footfalls than on Tuesday. The week 1 should end in the Rs 26.5 - 27 crore net range, which is quite alright for a film spearheaded by Kajol, playing alongside Sitaare Zameen Par and F1. Had the film not had stiff competition in week 2, it would have actually been seen as a good first week, as a Rs 40 crore plus lifetime net total would more or less be certain. Now that Dino and Jurassic World are entering the box office arena, even Rs 35 crore will be difficult, despite a certain acceptance. Maa Is A Pricey Film With Its Economics In Place Maa is a pricey film, but the costs are in check. The non-theatrical rights have been sold at premium rates because the film was marketed as a story linked to the world of Shaitaan. The Rs 18-20 crore worth of global share will add to the film's revenues. Kajol's Upcoming Movie Projects After Maa, Kajol will be seen in Sarzameen, co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. The movie will stream on JioHotstar from 25th July, 2025. Kajol's next after Sarzameen is not confirmed. Maa In Theatres Maa plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Kajol and Maa.
