Ram Kapoor Says ‘My Name Is Not Khan' When Asked About Work Offers After Weight Loss
Last Updated: Farah, visibly surprised, playfully made faces at his self-deprecating comment and countered, 'He is a big star.' Ram Kapoor's dramatic weight loss has been the talk of the town, sparking both praise and speculation. Recently, the actor welcomed filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan to his home, alongside her cook Dilip, for a vlog-style visit. The candid exchange that followed left fans smiling and gave insight into how the Mistry actor sees his own journey. Farah, known for her sense of humour, began the interaction on a light note, asking Dilip if he recognised Ram. Dilip jokingly called him 'Tiger Shroff" and compared Gautami Kapoor to Deepika Padukone, much to everyone's amusement. As Farah explored their home, she complimented Ram for losing weight at the age of 50 and asked if he was getting more work post-transformation. Ram's response struck a chord. 'Some people reach a level where they get work because they have nothing more to prove. I am no star, I'll never be a star, my name is not Khan," he said. 'Main size mein bada hoon ya chhota, kaam milta hai. Maine yeh kaam ke liye nahi kiya, career ke liye nahi kiya, apne aap ke liye kiya." (Whether I'm big or small in size, I still get work. I didn't lose weight for my career, I did it for myself.) Farah, visibly surprised, playfully made faces at his self-deprecating comment and countered, 'He is a big star." Ram Kapoor is currently seen in Mistry, a Hindi adaptation of the American detective series Monk. He plays a former Mumbai Police officer suffering from OCD, who assists ACP Sehmat Siddiqui, played by Mona Singh, in cracking complicated cases. The show also stars Shikha Talsania, Kshitish Date, and Namantar Rajendra, and is streaming on JioHotstar. First Published: July 02, 2025, 04:27 IST
