Ekta Kapoor has finally addressed the controversy regarding her viral video. She clarified that her comment was completely personal and not related to Ram Kapoor in any way whatsoever.
Indian television’s acclaimed producer, Ekta Kapoor, has finally cleared the air about the controversy related to her comment towards Ram Kapoor. The said controversy happened when she posted a video about weight loss, which seemed like a jab at the Bade Ache Lagte Hain actor Ram Kapoor. She has finally addressed the video in the India Today Conclave Mumbai 2025 and said that it was not directed towards anyone but was completely personal. She said, “This was exactly one week before I launched the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain promo, where the main character tries to fit into a medium. The promo was about body shaming, self-doubt, and self-assurance. Somehow, people took my post and spun it into something completely unrelated.”
Ekta Kapoor was shocked
The producer also talked about how she was completely shocked when social media users dragged Ram Kapoor into the conversation. She said, “I don’t know where Ram Kapoor came into this. He’s not a woman, not on TV right immediately, and he’s actually lost a lot of weight. It’s like I’m talking about my hair, and someone says, ‘Oh, you called me bald.’ Why would I do that?”
What was Ekta Kapoor’s video about?
Ekta Kapoor had shared a video about weight loss, which people speculated was a comment towards Ram Kapoor’s weight loss journey. In the video, which she posted on her Instagram account, she said, “What do I do? I’ve gained a lot of weight. Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Mounjaro? Ozempic? All of the above? Zip my mouth? Ya chhod dun? Hum bade hi acche lagte hain.”
She even captioned the video as “Ozempic ho jaye.”
The ‘bade ache lagte hai’ remark, along with the mention of Ozempic and weight loss, led people to believe that it really was about the Bade Ache Lagte Hai actor, Ram Kapoor.
Ram Kapoor’s wife’s response
As a reply to Ekta Kapoor’s speculated comment, Ram Kapoor’s wife, Gautami Kapoor, also took to Instagram and posted a video. In the video, she said, “Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Should I take Mounjaro? Should I take Ozempic, or all of the above? Or should I just zip my mouth? But I think mere liye gym hi kaafi hai. Kyunki humein bade nahi, chhote hi achhe lagte hain.”
In the comment of the video, she also wrote, “Jisse Jo Pasand ho, usse woh karne do. Live and let live. At the end, what matters is health, happiness, and peace.”
Ekta Kapoor and Ram Kapoor have worked together on projects like Bade Ache Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se.
