Ram Kapoor Speaks On His First Controversy In 25 Years, 'My Family Went Beserk, But I Handled It'

Ram Kapoor is a well-known name in the television industry that has been entertaining audiences for more than two decades now. Whether it was Kasamh Se or Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, the actor dominated the small screen with his presence but never fell into a single controversy until recently he was accused of making 'inappropriate comments' on the team members of his newly released web series, Mistry. But, rather than shying away from the stir, Ram came forward to accept his mistake and promised to apologise to anyone who was affected by it. Now, in an interview, the actor opened up about how he, his family and staff dealt with his first-ever controversy in 25 years.

Ram Kapoor admits he was 'nervous' after he got embroiled in a controversy 

Ram Kapoor was busy with the promotions of his web series, Mistry, when he was accused of making s***ally 'inappropriate remarks' towards the show's team members. He was subsequently removed from all its promotional activities. Despite the stir, the series opened to positive reviews and Ram's performance was widely appreciated. Amid all this, Ram, who still got to play his dream character in the series, sat down for an interview with Zoom and expressed his happiness at the success of his web series. He admitted that despite not being someone who easily gets nervous, the recent controversy kept him on his toes. However, he is delighted that the audiences did not keep any bias towards the show due to his actions. In his words:

"I am literally the happiest man in the whole country right now. I was so nervous and so scared because of all the controversy and everything. I'm not the kind of person who gets nervous. I'm always a positive person. This time, I was very nervous. The fact that nobody has allowed all this to matter to the show is something that I will forever be thankful for."

Instead of running away from the whole fiasco, Ram not only realised his mistake but also assured to solve it. He revealed that his family, network and staff were deeply affected by the whole controversy. However, he tried to remain calm and confident in his ability to manage the whole situation. The actor admitted that his wrong actions caused the incident, and he views it as a lesson. So, instead of letting negativity cloud his thoughts, he chose to deal with it head-on without unnecessarily exaggerating the matter. Sharing his perspective, Ram said:

"When this news hit, my family, my network and my staff went berserk. And I was telling everyone, 'Why are you all reacting so much? I will handle it.' And I did handle it. For me, it was definitely a situation that needed to be handled, but it was not a big deal. I told my children the same thing: that, guys, all this will happen in life. You will decide whether it's going to be a big deal or not."

Ram Kapoor revealed that he received a lot of support from the press and industry after his controversy 

In the same conversation, Ram Kapoor talked about the picture he shared immediately after his controversy, which read, "Even if your life is in chaos, never forget your goals." He explained that the controversy didn't bother him much because whatever conversations and backlash happened took place outside, and he was managing it. Whereas, the actor revealed that he got immense support on social media from the industry and press. The Kasamh Se actor admitted that whatever happened shouldn't have happened and he will ensure that he doesn't pass such remarks to people who don't know him or are not close to him. Sharing how his former colleagues supported him, Ram said:

"Everybody who knows me and has worked with me called and just laughed on the phone, saying, 'I told you one day this would happen'. So the fact is, I got a lot of support from the press, from my directors, from my actors."
