At the launch of Ram Kapoor’s show Zindagi Ke Crossroads, he was questioned about how his wife, Gautami contributed in shaping his career. And without much ado, the doting husband credited his wife and stated, "The reason why I am doing so well professionally is Gautami; it's only because of her. I am really lucky to have a wife from the industry who understands how it works here, who understands the pros and cons of the industry. She never asks me why am I working late night or travelling a lot. She just understands me so well."

Ram Kapoor further continued, "She has taken on the home front so well, she manages the kids so well and that lets me put my best in my career. I couldn't have done it without her." Gautami was last seen in Sony TV’s show, Parvarrish - Season 2 and while all her fans are eager to see her back on the small screen, her husband says she has become very fussy in picking scripts. Ram was quoted as saying, "Now she has become very spoilt and very choosy. If something comes across her way that she loves, even then she will be picky about the timings, etc because she has to manage the kids too."
