How Ram Kapoor Bought A Lamborghini Without Thinking As He Could Afford It
New Delhi: Ram Kapoor has been making headlines after he passed some inappropriate sexual comments during the promotions of his upcoming JioHotstar series Mistry. Now in conversation with Humans of Bombay, the Bade Acche Lagte Hain actor got candid about his financial journey so far. He spoke about building enough wealth to last him four generations and indulging in a luxurious Rs 5 crore Lamborghini without thinking. What's Happening Ram Kapoor has been one of the highest-paid TV actors. He played a huge role during the golden era of TV soap operas. Other than his passion for acting, he also has a lot of interest in luxurious cars and owns a Mercedes-AMG G63, BMW X5, Porsche and Ferrari. He was once again in the news as he recently became the first Indian to own a Lamborghini Urus that is approximately valued at a whopping Rs 5.21 crore. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Car Crazy India® (@ Speaking about how he does not like publicising his luxury car purchases online, he added that somehow the media always leaks it. He told Humans of Bombay, "When I bought the Lamborghini, I had clearly told the dealer not to put press there. However, they had their in-house photographer. Now, the minute they uploaded it on their site, the media took it. How can I stop this? I am lucky that I can afford all this." Speaking of spending money on such purchases without thinking, once one is able to afford it, he added, "I have always been a crazy petrol-head. I have really been into cars and bikes. People who are into cars and bikes like me, and people who can afford, them mostly have these collections. The difference is mine is talked about, while my friends who have better collections than me are not in the public eye, because they mostly belong to the corporate world, theirs are not talked about. So, if someone is a petrol-head like me, once you can afford it without thinking, you will have it because I don't like spending money on anything except that." Expressing his love for watches and cars, Ram Kapoor shared, "Watches and cars are the only things I love, so people who can afford these watches have fantastic watch collections. It's just that a lot of people who have it, like to keep quiet about it. Even if we want to keep quiet unfortunately because I am in the public eye, the media gets to know about it. Yes, I do have a car collection. I have a Ferrari, a Porsche but the thing is we don't like to show it off." Ram Kapoor On Co-Stars Sakshi Tanwar And Ronit Roy And Their Financial Status Ram Kapoor went on to talk about the pay disparity between movie stars and television actors. He mentioned that it's not likely that their paychecks will be the same. However, if an actor has a hit show for 7-8 years and has been on the top, then the actor's monthly paycheck is equal to the salary for 8 years. He said, "People like me, Sakshi and Ronit, if you have been on television for 20 years and are sensible, then you have made enough for at least 3-4 generations." In A Nutshell Ram Kapoor has an estimated net worth of Rs 135 crore and is one of the most popular names in Indian television. He recently spoke about his love for cars and watches and how he has built enough wealth to support four generations.

Shweta Keswani: For South Asians, making it in the West is always a hustle
Shweta Keswani and (right) with Sakshi Tanwar in a still from Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii Shweta Keswani, known for her roles in TV shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand, and Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, moved to the US after marrying lawyer Ken Andino in 2012. However, relocating didn't stop her from pursuing acting. She embraced the opportunities in the West but admits that the journey has been difficult. Reflecting on her 13-year experience, she says, 'For South Asians, especially those trying to make it here, it's always a hustle. It's taken me 13 years to get to where I am today. Not everyone is lucky enough to have an agent like Priyanka Chopra or to get a quick breakthrough.' The actress, who has been part of projects like The Heart Stays (2019), As Sick As They Made Us (2022), Roar (2022) and The Beanie Bubble (2023), and is currently executive producing and acting in the short film Tabassum, highlights how her acting journey in the US has required a major shift. She shares, 'The acting here is different. If I replicated my style from India, I wouldn't book jobs. So, I've been training in acting under several teachers. People asked, 'Why are you learning acting when you've been acting for 20 years?' But the style of acting and auditioning here is so different,' she explains. As an actor of Asian descent, she often finds herself navigating the challenges of typecasting in the industry. She says, 'It's a hit or miss. Sometimes I get offbeat, interesting auditions, but I'm also offered the usual stereotypes. My typical casting range ends up being an FBI agent, a doctor, a lawyer, a web designer, or the aspirational Indian mom. I try to break out of that box by showcasing my versatility through my demo reel to prove that I'm capable of so much more. ' While she's embraced her new life, she misses the chaotic energy of Hindi TV sets. She reminisces, 'I miss the camaraderie, the Indian-ness of it all — the banter, eating together — those moments were special. The people became family.' Shweta also shares her thoughts on possibly returning to India for work. 'I'd love to do mini-series or short projects for OTT where I can complete the work in 15-20 days and return home. I can't commit to the same monthly grind I did in television because I have a family here now. But I miss acting in Hindi TV shows,' she concludes.

The Royals director Priyanka Ghose opens up about Zeenat Aman's smoking scenes: ‘Males writing female parts did not get these small nuances'
Veteran actor Zeenat Aman made headlines for her portrayal of a pot-smoking queen mother in the new Netflix web series The Royals. While some felt she was reduced to a shallow character, others opined that her smoking and drinking scenes with Sakshi Tanwar was about Bollywood finally showcasing its female characters as bold and real. In a recent interview, the show's director Priyanka Ghose opened up about Zeenat's smoking sequences and how actual Bengali women were her inspiration. During a conversation with News18 Showsha, the filmmaker reflected on how projects created by females are shaping characters on screen. She said, 'It's a huge privilege that women who are producers and studio heads are green-lighting stories that allow you to have these kinds of things where women go beyond their dead husbands and explore love affairs once again. And because there are women in power who are not judging women, there has been a sea change in the way women are being represented.' 'For the longest time, women were being misrepresented across films and series. The males writing female parts did not get these small nuances, because at the end of the day, a woman smoking in a scene is not changing anything. It doesn't change the dynamics of the scene, but it gives you an insight into the character. It tells you how bold she is, that society is accepting of her doing this, and how we have progressed, so we are not going backwards anymore. India is looking ahead. We can accept a lot of things,' Priyanka added. ALSO READ | Royal mess: Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar's The Royals objectifies, stereotypes, and disappoints Priyanka Ghose spent her childhood in Calcutta, where she never saw women smoking as a taboo. It was only after moving to Mumbai that she realised how often women who smoke are judged by society. 'Bengal was always ahead of its time, and women were always treated with a certain amount of respect. I had grown up watching my aunt and everybody having a good time going to clubs and never being apologetic, because it doesn't define your character, just because you are equally having fun with men around. I'm not frivolously saying this,' she stated. 'All the women in my family are hardcore career women, but they are also the people who run our house, our families, taking care of every single person. It doesn't take away from their matriarchal roles either. There's a great balance with which you can represent women. Wanting to drink or smoke or have multiple relationships or exploring one's sexuality is not seen in a bad light [in the show] because it should not be seen in a bad light. It doesn't define the integrity of the character,' the filmmaker concluded. Besides Zeenat Aman and Sakshi Tanwar, The Royals also featured Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, and Nora Fatehi, among others.
