Actor Ram Kapoor recently made headlines with his dramatic weight loss transformation, leaving fans and onlookers stunned. However, the spotlight has now shifted to a new controversy involving the Bade Achhe Lagte Hai star. This time, it's a cryptic Instagram post from producer Ekta Kapoor, where she seemingly tells him to "shut up." Though her post doesn't explicitly name him, the indirect dig has left little room for doubt.
The beloved TV show Bade Achhe Lagte Hai, produced by Ekta Kapoor, remains a fan favourite even years after its run from 2011 to 2014 on Sony Entertainment Television.?
But recently, a storm has brewed between the show's creator and its lead actor, Ram Kapoor.
On January 6, 2025, Ram Kapoor appeared in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, where he revisited a key moment from the show¡ªhis much-debated on-screen kiss with co-star Sakshi Tanwar.?
Reflecting on the scene, Kapoor revealed, "Ekta's the one who wrote the scene, wanted us to do the scene¡ I told Ekta, 'Are you sure? Ye television mein pehle kabhi hua nahi hai, it was the first kiss of television, which is a big thing. And three generations watch (the show) together¡ but Ekta was very confident ki wo karna hai¡. I said, okay, I'll first get a go-ahead from my wife¡ Fir maine Sakshi ko bola ki look, I will handle Ekta, if you have a problem, tell me."
He defended his decision, saying, "Mera kaam as an actor is to do my job. I don't owe an explanation to anybody¡ Mera kaam hai script ko follow karo¡ Main kaise bol sakta hu ki ye main nahi kar sakta, tab main actor nahi hu¡so I did nothing wrong."
However, it seems his comments didn't sit well with Ekta Kapoor.?
Taking to her Instagram stories, she posted a sharp response: "Unprofessional actors giving interviews about my shows shud shut up! False information N skewed stories. Can only last till. I talk'¡¡ but there is dignity in silence."
While she didn't name anyone, her cryptic words left little doubt that they were aimed at Ram Kapoor.?
