Ram Kapoor reveals wife Gautami and he lived together before marriage: 'Nobody thought ki tikegi shaadi...'
Ram Kapoor revealed he and Gautami Kapoor lived together before marriage. Many doubted their relationship would last. They have been married for over 25 years. Ram faced financial struggles early in their marriage. Gautami supported them. They met on the set of Ghar Ek Mandir. They are parents to Sia and Aks. Their love story inspires many. In an industry where relationships are often fleeting, Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor 's love story continues to inspire. From their first meeting on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir to building a life together for over 25 years, the couple has weathered every challenge with grace and humour. Now, in a candid chat, Ram reveals a bold chapter from their past—one that began even before they were married. Ram Kapoor, currently seen in Mistry, revealed on Farah Khan 's YouTube channel that he and wife Gautami Kapoor lived together for 1.5 to 2 years before marriage—a bold move at a time when live-in relationships weren't widely accepted. Farah joked that Gautami deserved praise for still marrying him. The actor also shared how most people around him—including friends, family, and well-wishers—doubted his marriage would last. He revealed that everyone used to ask Gautami why she was marrying him, convinced the relationship wouldn't survive. Reflecting on those early doubts, Ram proudly said he's been proving everyone wrong—having now been happily married for over 25 years. With his trademark humour, he added that marriage is all about 'tit for tat'—just as he tolerates Gautami, she tolerates him too. In an earlier conversation with Humans of Bombay, Ram had opened up about the financial struggles he faced early in his marriage. The Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor revealed that for nearly a year after tying the knot, he had no work and lived off wife Gautami's earnings. At the time, she was working on the TV show Lipstick, while he was completely jobless. Reflecting on those days, Ram shared that few remember that phase of his life, but it taught him resilience. He also recalled starting his career with just ₹1,500 per day for a Doordarshan show and stressed the importance of being ready to start from scratch if needed. He first met Gautami on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir, where she initially played his sister-in-law and later his on-screen wife. Their bond grew off-screen as well, and friendship gradually turned into love. Despite having contrasting personalities—Gautami being reserved and Ram more outgoing—they built a strong relationship based on understanding and respect. Ram proposed to her at a party, and the couple tied the knot on Valentine's Day in 2003. They are now proud parents to two children, Sia and Aks.

Some actors, despite having a hit debut, couldn't connect with the audience. After a few flops, many chose to quietly step away from the limelight, either shifting careers or returning to private life. But, there was this one actor who did the exact opposite by raising his fee by Rs 1 lakh even after giving multiple flops. Despite this, his unusual confidence and quirky attitude made him a memorable figure in the history of Bollywood. The Veteran Actor of Bollywood Here we are talking about legendary late actor Raaj Kumar, who is considered one of the renowned actors in the industry. However, before becoming Raaj Kumar, the actor was known as Kulbhushan Pandit, who started his work front in 1950 from Mahim Police Station as a policeman. Later, he made his Bollywood debut with the film Rangeeli in 1952 and later earned huge applause from the audience through many great films that include Mother India, Ghar Ek Mandir, Neel Kamal, Gharana, Pakeezah, Heer Ranjha, Saudagar, and Tirangaa. Meanwhile, the legendary actor with an unmatchable aura also tasted the bitter taste of many flops, but it did not affect his swag and style at all. When Raaj Kumar Talked About Hiking His Fees Despite Flops Many years back, during an interview with Lehren Retro, he talked about his fees and shared an interesting anecdote about his manager. The actor said, 'I remember my movies used to fail and my price used to go up by Rs 1 lakh and my secretary used to ask me, 'Raaj sahab, picture toh chali nahi, aap ek lakh aur badha rahe hai.' Maine kaha, picture chale na chale, main fail nahi hua, isliye ek lakh aur badhega.'' When Raaj Kumar Faced Legal Trouble Due To… Following the premiere of his iconic film Mother India, Raaj Kumar went for an evening drive with his friend, director Prakash Arora, and his wife.

At the end, one man was killed and Raaj Kumar was captured. After a year-long trial, Raaj Kumar was cleared of all charges pressed against him.
