Ronit Roy
, Sakshi, and me, and you are sensible with your investments… There were a lot of people who had hit shows, but they spent more money than they should have, and when that show shut down they didn't get another show.
They did not do well and disappeared."
The Udaan actor also appreciated fellow actor Ronit Roy for making wise and thoughtful investments, 'People like a Ronit… he has a lot of houses, vacation homes, and such a fantastic villa in Goa.

On television, he never looked back.
He had seen failure so when he got success, he respected it from day one," he said.
Not just Ronit Roy, Ram also mentioned about
Sakshi Tanwar
's simple and sensible way of living. He said, 'Same for Sakshi. She is a very sensible girl. She doesn't like fancy cars like I do. She has enough money for six generations because she spends it very wisely. If you spend money wisely, then you will have money for a lot of things on television."

Ram Kapoor says he ‘didn't have long to live' had he continued like he used to, doctor told him ‘tu mar jayega'
Actor Ram Kapoor opened up about his decision to get healthy, and said that he once weighed 140 kgs. The actor also addressed rumours that he has been using the controversial drug Ozempic, or one of its variants, and said that he hasn't. In an interview, Ram said that a stern warning from his doctor pushed him towards a healthy lifestyle, and revealed that he was told he wouldn't live long if he continued down the path he was on. He has now lost considerable weight, but was recently embroiled in a controversy over making inappropriate remarks during the press tour of his new show, Mistry. Appearing on Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast, he spoke about his drastic weight loss. 'Try maintaining a weight of 140 kgs, it's not easy,' he joked, as his co-star Mona Singh recalled memories of him eating an entire KFC bucket by himself. 'To become (thinner), you have to change your mindset completely. And when your mindset changes, every day you measure how much water you've had, how much you've slept, how much you've exercised,' he said.

'When I was shooting Neeyat in Scotland, I was at my worst. I was taking insulin shots thrice a day, before every meal. I was 140 kgs, and my sugar was at ridiculous heights. My doctor told me that I'm working so much and I'm so unhealthy, I could have a diabetic stroke. That's how unhealthy I was. I had to do a transformation, otherwise I would not have long to live.' He said that he promised his son that he would start taking better care of himself when he turned 50, and he won't stop until he gets six-pack abs. 'When I started this journey, I said that I want to reach the peak of health. I want to be the best that I can be. I'm still a work in progress. I want to set the best example for my son. If I want him to be healthy, I have to be healthy.' Ram said that it was a risk to change his appearance so drastically, because audiences accepted him the way he was for 25 years. 'A doctor told me that I would have to start Ozempic or Monjaro because of the bad shape I was in. I would've had a diabetic stroke otherwise. If I had not gotten fit, I would have 100% taken it, because I trust my doctor. He looks after my entire family, he's a friend. He said, 'You have two options, you either change yourself, or tu mar jayega (you will die)'.' Ram Kapoor admitted to making inappropriate comments during the press tour for Mistry, and said that he wouldn't have spoken in an objectionable manner had he been told that it was wrong. Reacting to the controversy, his television colleague Sudhanshu Pandey said that making such statements is a sign of mental imbalance.
