Ram Kapoor REACTS To His Comment On Smriti Irani's Weight: ‘She Knows What I Meant'
Ram Kapoor was trolled for his comment about Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi co-star Smriti Irani's weight. He has now said that trolls do not matter to him. Ram Kapoor's recent remark about his Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi co-star Smriti Irani did not go down well with a section of netizens. In a conversation with Humans Of Bombay, he praised Smriti for achieving greater success than him despite her weight. However, many netizens perceived his remarks as backhanded compliments laced with body-shaming, and he was trolled for calling her 'huge'. Ram Kapoor has now reacted to the backlash, stating that Smriti Irani knows exactly what he meant to say, and that the trolls do not matter to him. While speaking with FilmiBeat, Ram Kapoor reacted to the criticism he faced for his remark about Smriti Irani. He said, 'Smriti knows what I meant, and I know what I meant. The other people don't matter to her, or me. Understand that. When you are saying something with a clean heart, and you have a reason behind it and you are saying something positive about the person who you have regard for. As long as that person doesn't misunderstand you, nobody else should matter. Nobody." Ram Kapoor Slams Trolls He further slammed trolls and said, 'All these people who latch on and comment should never ever be taken seriously. Because all they do is comment about other people's lives, instead of living their own life. You cannot be a bigger loser than that. You have one shot live to live in. In your watch, it's not the seconds that are ticking by. It's your life that is going by. And during that period, instead of living their life, they only comment on other people's life. You really want to take their comment seriously? Then go get yourself checked for mental retardation." He said that only the opinions of your loved ones—family and close friends—should matter. 'All these others, you are only wasting time of your life if you are even reading what they say. Because they are not confident enough to go live or make their own lives. They only want to say bad things about other people's lives," he said. He further explained that when a journalist makes a comment, it is different- because it's a professional making a comment. However, he said that he doesn't feel the need to respond to 'random people' online making comments. What Did Ram Kapoor Say About Smriti Irani? In his interview with Humans Of Bombay, Ram Kapoor said that in today's world, success often comes with an unspoken demand to look a certain way, and highlighted that it is tough for overweight actors to break through. He then brought up Smriti Irani, and said, 'She was my size as a woman and probably more successful than me. It is just that she left earlier." He said, 'When she started Kyunki Saas 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 in the first year of Kyunki to last year, you will notice that she is as big as I am. We were equally successful." He added, 'I have even spoken to her about this. She was just staying true to her character. When she entered the series, she played just a wife, then she became a mother, then the show took several leaps in eight years of its run. She allowed herself to become bigger. If she would have continued in television, she would have probably much bigger than me. She left because she joined politics and she is doing great."

‘Ram Kapoor's comments are a sign of mental imbalance': Sudhanshu Pandey apologises to women on behalf of TV industry
Former Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey apologised on behalf of his industry colleague Ram Kapoor, who recently admitted to having made inappropriate comments during the publicity tour of his new show, Mistry. In light of his behaviour, he was removed from the promotional activities by Jio Hotstar. Sudhanshu said that comments such as the ones made by Ram are a sign of 'mansik asthirta (mental imbalance)', and apologised on his behalf. In an interview with FilmiBeat, he was asked about the incident involving Ram, an industry veteran with some of the biggest shows of the last two decades on his resume. Sudhanshu said in Hindi, 'Firstly, Ram is ruining his own reputation if he has made such comments. Secondly, I feel that one has to be mentally unstable to make comments like this, especially if you're commenting about a woman who is in your close proximity. This is a sign of mental imbalance. A decent person should be respectful towards others, especially women. It's very wrong, and if Ram has done something like this, I apologise on behalf of my fraternity.'

He later admitted that he was 'guilty as charged', and apologised for what he'd said. He also claimed that his comments were 'harmless', and that if he had any idea that they were offending others, he would've stopped there and then. He admitted that he cannot be his 'normal obnoxious self' in front of much younger people who may not receive his comments the way they were intended. According to a source present at the event, Ram allegedly 'mansplained' during interviews and answered questions addressed to his co-star, Mona Singh. But matters worsened when he made an inappropriate comment to a member of the Jio Hotstar marketing team. As a journalist was preparing to interview him, he reportedly asked how many interviews were left for the day and then said, 'I feel like I've been gang-raped by elephants.' Later, he is said to have made inappropriate comments about a person's outfit. Getting ready for another interview, he is alleged to have said, 'Which position should I take now? Doggy or missionary?'

Tejasswi Prakash recalls ‘the only time' Karan Kundrra cooked for her: ‘We were in the mood for…'
Tejasswi Prakash loves being on Celebrity MasterChef, where she is getting a chance to showcase her culinary skills. But the Naagin actor doesn't really cook at home. 'I have not yet cooked a full-fledged meal for him (Karan Kundrra). I have made him basic masala rice etc,' Tejasswi said in a chat with The Khabri. In another conversation with FilmiBeat, she revealed what Karan made for her once. 'Everyone knows Karan cooks delicious food. But he doesn't cook at home. The only time (he did)…we were in the mood of eating fries at about 3-4 am, so we sliced some potatoes and fried them. He is fond of presenting food in an appetising way. So, he ensures he presents a basic dish with some great seasonings like lemon, masalas etc. He did all that and gave me the fries to eat. That's the only thing he made for me. It's a madhouse, especially after the dogs. It's fun,' said Tejasswi. A strong relationship is always built on mutual respect, trust, shared responsibilities, and the willingness to grow together. As such, partners cooking or looking out for each other is a positive sign. Sharing responsibilities or chores helps enhance relationships further, said Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals Parel Mumbai. 'Supporting each other by doing little things can create a sense of belonging and boost happiness. Even a little push or encouragement can boost your partner's confidence and ease out any apprehensions,' said Dr Bangar. Sharing or expressing thoughts, feelings, and concerns with your partner through such gestures can significantly lighten up mental load and reduce stress, the expert said. 'This approach could provide emotional support and stability as it shows comfort and understanding. It also allows couples to spend quality time and always have a safe space in each other, which can help create deep connections,' said Dr Bangar.
