Television czarina Ekta Kapoor has responded to the ongoing buzz surrounding her recent social media posts, which many believed were indirect jabs at actor Ram Kapoor. The speculation began after Kapoor commented on a kissing scene in their hit TV show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, describing it as a challenging and unconventional moment in his career.
In response, Ekta Kapoor shared a cryptic Instagram story urging “unprofessional actors” to stop spreading false narratives about her shows. Her message quickly went viral, with many fans interpreting it as a reaction to Ram Kapoor’s recent interview.
Adding fuel to the fire, Ekta later posted another story with the phrase “Hum bade hi acche lagte hain,” sparking more conversation online—especially as discussions about celebrity weight loss and body image began trending. This led to assumptions that she was referring to Ram Kapoor’s recent physical transformation, with some even linking her comments to the ongoing public discourse around Ozempic and other weight-loss medications.
However, Ekta Kapoor has now set the record straight. Speaking to the media, she clarified that her comments were not aimed at Ram Kapoor personally, and that she fully acknowledges the actor’s impressive weight loss journey. “He’s actually lost a lot of weight and looks fantastic,” she stated, dismissing claims that her posts were body-shaming or meant to target him directly.
She explained that her original posts were taken out of context and were meant to reflect broader frustrations about misinformation, not specific individuals. The producer also emphasized her long-standing professional relationship with Ram Kapoor, who has been part of several of her most successful television projects.
Meanwhile, Ram Kapoor has chosen not to escalate the situation. In a brief statement, he expressed his respect for Ekta Kapoor, saying, “She gave me some of the best opportunities in my career. She can say whatever she wants to, I will not say a word.”
With both parties now offering clarity, fans are hopeful that the issue has been resolved and that the mutual respect between the two industry veterans remains intact.
