Sudhanshu Pandey Feels Ram Kapoor's Sexual Remarks ‘Reflect Mental Instability'
The controversy happened after Ram made some sexually inappropriate remarks against one of his team members during a press interaction. Ram Kapoor recently found himself in controversy after being dropped from the promotions of his web series, Mistry. It happened after the actor made some sexually inappropriate remarks against one of his team members during a press interaction. Now, TV actor Sudhanshu Pandey, known for his performance in shows like Anupamaa, has shared his reaction to Kapoor's controversial remark, calling them a reflection of 'mansik asthirta' (mental instability). Speaking to FilmiBeatz, Pandey said, 'Firstly, Ram's words are harming his reputation. Second, it takes mental instability to say such things, especially when referring to a woman nearby. A decent individual should constantly show respect for others, particularly ladies. If Ram has said anything like this, I sincerely apologise on behalf of our entire industry." Ram, on the other hand, speaking to ETimesTV, has accepted his statement and apologised for it. He said, 'Let me begin by stating that I did say everything for which I have been blamed. So, the truth is, I am guilty as charged. But here's what I have to say in my defence. When I am with people I am comfortable with, I tend to become my badass self. Everyone who knows me and has worked with me understands that is how I am, and I don't try to offend." He further stated that he was unaware of any distress he may have given the show's staff during the event. 'I didn't feel it once all day. We were laughing and joking. If I had gotten a hint that they were offended, I would have dealt with it immediately." On the work front, Ram's web series Mistry has now premiered on JioHotstar. The show also features Mona Singh and Abhiijeit Chitre in the leads. It is the official Hindi remake of the American superhit series, Monk. Coming back to Sudhanshu, he is currently winning hearts with his performance in the reality show, The Traitors, which is streaming on Prime Video. Hosted by Karan Johar, the other remaining contestants of the show include Purav Jha, Apoorva Mukhija, Harsh Gujral, Uorfi Javed, Nikita Luther and Jasmine Bhasin. The grand finale episode will be available to watch on Thursday, July 3, 2025, on Prime Video at 8:00 PM. First Published:

Mistry Review: Ram Kapoor Impresses As Ex-Cop Battling OCD, Mona Singh Holds Her Own
Last Updated: Mistry Web Series Review: Ram Kapoor stars in the JioHotstar series, a Hindi remake of Monk. He plays Armaan Mistry, an ex-Mumbai Police officer with OCD, solving crimes. Ram Kapoor always finds a reason to make a place for himself in the spotlight. On some days, he hits the news for his jaw-dropping transformation, and during others, his purportedly sexually inappropriate and offensive remarks during events. However, setting his personal life aside, we must admit that Ram Kapoor is a phenomenal actor, and he proves it once again with his latest JioHotstar web series, Mistry. Ram Kapoor lets his work do the talking as Armaan Mistry, an ex-Mumbai Police officer, who solves special cases led by Mona Singh's (ACP Sehmat Siddiqui) team. He can 'smell' the culprits (quite literally) at the crime scene, often leaving his team amazed at his predictability. However, where he falls short (or not) is his battle with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), a disease that we mostly take lightly or make fun of. Torn between daily crime cases and the death of his wife due to targetted bombing, Mistry's life revolves around solving crime, backed by his secretary, Shikha Talsania. How he deals with crime, while battling his OCD, spans across the eight episodes. Touted to be a crime-comedy, Mistry is the official Hindi remake of the American superhit series, Monk. Ram Kapoor takes on the titular character and does a fantastic job at it. OCD is a psychological problem. How do you convey it on screen so effectively that it leaves the audience with that itch? The credit must go partly to the writers and of course, Ram himself. Every time Ram Kapoor appears on the screen, he is exposed (and disgusted) by the imperfection of the world outside. He is easily distracted by the window blinds while discussing his health, and worries about a possible gas leak at his house as a murder victim lies lifeless in a pool of blood. There's an uneasiness to the character that Ram Kapoor brings out with perfect finesse. While the outside world is a chaotic mess for Mistry, his home, with neatly folded ties and shirts hanging at perfectly equal distances, speaks volumes about his character. In fact, by the end of the series, it is almost hard to imagine Mistry played by anyone else but him. Then there is Mona Singh, who takes on the role of a cop. Female actors playing cops on screen isn't new, but then again, that is the challenge – how do you ensure people remember you? The key is not to let your uniform overpower your character. And who better than Mona to know the tricks of the trade! Oh, and there is a subtle Laal Singh Chadha jibe too. Shikha Talsania is one of the first characters to appear on the screen in Mistry. All she does at the beginning is help Mistry calm down when OCD grapples him from all corners. And you are left wondering why would she opt for a role that just nods with her boss in agreement? Scene by scene, her character unfurls on the screen and before you know it, she becomes one of the most prominent characters of the show. Mistry is also very cleverly made, and we have to give director Rishab Seth the credit where it's due. It's considerably easier to make a point in an action-thriller – there's visible action, something tangible for the audience to see and gauge. But conveying emotional intelligence on screen is a true challenge. For instance, one of the first cases Mistry solves is that of a double murder with links to politics. During a roundtable meeting about the murder, Mistry notices a whiteboard scattered with pins of various colours, marking important business locations. OCD takes over and Ram Kapoor aka Armaan Mistry starts arranging the pins on the whiteboard by their colour and size. The room stops to take notice of the absurdity. A tug of war over the whiteboard causes all the pins to fall off. Furious, someone yells at him asking him to simply do his job, which is, to solve a murder. But Mistry promises them that the pins will be marked exactly where they were and starts doing the job. With each second, everyone in the room gapes in wonderment for Mistry takes the pins back to their original location within seconds of noticing the board in the first place. A prodigy sure, but the makers or Mistry? We'll leave the decision upto you. Mistry has minimal setbacks. At times, the protagonist's OCD tends to overshadow the crime scenes, which might be of greater interest to the audience. As the saying goes, too much of anything isn't good. After establishing the psychological aspect, the makers could have avoided letting it dominate the key crime moments, which were likely more engaging. In the later episodes, it feels as though the creators were intent on highlighting the OCD first, and only then shifting focus to the scene itself – a choice that occasionally comes across as tiresome and unnecessary. But what's life without overlooking the negatives and focusing on the good? Trust us, Mistry will give you such opportunities in bounty. All in all, if you have been rooting for a show that will make you laugh, think and bite your nails at the same time, Mistry is worth every ounce of your valuable weekend time.
