Gautami Kapoor reveals her feelings about intimate scenes of husband

When her husband, actor Ram Kapoor, told her about his private moment with Sakshi Tanwar in their play Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Gautami Kapoor revealed her feelings. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Gautami also discussed producer Ekta Kapoor’s apparent criticism of Ram following his remark about the scene last year. Despite his doubts, he had stated that Ekta was the one who authored the sequence.

In response to Ram’s remark, Gautami stated that his statement “was the truth” and that “it was just misinterpreted.” Perhaps Ekta was referring to another actor from a different show, she continued, or perhaps she was discussing something else. Gautami described Ekta as a “phenomenal maker” and stated that she has always had “a lot of clarity” in her thinking.

Gautami recalled how she reacted when she came to know about the intimate scene early morning. “I got the call at 2.30 am. I was a mother who was breastfeeding at that time. So when I got the call at 2.30-3 am saying that, ‘Listen baby, this is what has happened’, my first reaction was I kept the phone on Ram. I was like, ‘What?’ I kept the phone on Ram. I didn’t even want to think further,” she said.

She added that later she had introspected and reasoned whether her reaction was right. “I took that time to really reflect on whether it was right for me to bang the phone. Because, see, he was working for a relentless number of hours, day in and day out. There were days when he wouldn’t come home, 24 hours, 48 hours. The workload used to be so much on television. It gave me time to reflect that what am I doing,” she added.

Ekta produced Bade Achhe Lagte Hai. Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor were the main pair. An on-screen kiss was the intimate scene. In a conversation with Siddharth last year, Ram had stated, “Ekta’s the one who wrote the scene, wanted us to do the scene. I told Ekta, ‘Are you sure you want to do this? Television mein kabhi hua nahi (It never happened on television). We were 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 (we have to do that). She trusted us. I said, ‘Okay, I’ll first get a go-ahead from my wife… Fir maine Sakshi ko bola ki (then I told Sakshi) look, I will handle Ekta, if you have a problem, tell me….Uske baad jo hua Ekta ne jhela (After that, whatever happened, Ekta faced the heat),” he had added.

After his comment, Ekta took to her Instagram Stories and wrote, without naming anyone, “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.”
