Ram Kapoor excluded from the promotions of Mistry after making s*xually offensive and inappropriate remarks; Report
During the promotion of his upcoming show, Mistry, as reported by Mid-day, actor Ram Kapoor faced criticism for making several s*xually inappropriate and offensive remarks. After his statements, intended at publicists and the show's marketing team, made the crew uncomfortable, the actor was withdrawn from future promotions, with his co-star Mona Singh conducting solo interviews the next day.
Ram Kapoor and Mona Singh appeared in numerous interviews throughout the day as the promotions for their show Mistry took place at a hotel in Mumbai. It was then seen amid the interviews where Ram Kapoor allegedly made repeated comments about kissing a male executive from the show's marketing team. He also went on to make another remark suggesting that his mother should have gone to sleep instead of conceiving him.
He further joked about being 'gang-ra**d' in front of a journalist and discussed s*x positions.
Ram also made comments on a female crew member's outfit at the venue. He said, 'If they are in my line of sight, how can I not look?'. This further sparked discomfort among the team members present for the interviews.
As reported by Mid-day, the actor was then asked not to be part of the promotions, and the next day Mona did solo interviews for the show. The publication also shared the statement from the OTT platform, which read, "This workplace prioritises dignity and safety. After a complaint was formally raised and the incidents corroborated by eyewitnesses, the leadership moved promptly. The platform wants to distance itself from any behaviour that normalises workplace misconduct.
The interviews are being held solely with Mona."
