‘Sakshi Tanwar has enough money for six generations, Ronit Roy has villas and vacation homes': Ram Kapoor opens up about TV wealth
With popular television shows like Kasamh Se, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, and others, Ram Kapoor became a household name in India. In a recent interaction, he opened up about the remuneration television actors receive and how, if managed wisely, it can help them accumulate wealth for generations. He cited the examples of top TV actors like Ronit Roy and Sakshi Tanwar, highlighting how, thanks to their sensibile investments, they've made significant financial gains from television.
During an interaction with Humans of Bombay, Ram admitted that while many actors have maintained healthy bank balances, there were also some top actors in the industry who squandered their earnings and have since disappeared. 'When you make it to the top like 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, and when that show shut down and they didn't get another show. They did not do well and disappeared,' he said.
Lauding Ronit for his sharp financial acumen and smart investment decisions, he shared, 'People like a Ronit… he has a lot of houses, vacation homes, and such a fantastic villa in Goa. He has been sensible because he started in films and he didn't make it in films. He was a flop actor in films and he didn't have money to eat. Then Ektaa Kapoor took him on. In television, he never looked back. He had seen failure so when he got success, he respected it from day one.'
Like Ronit, Ram praised his Bade Achhe Lagte Hain co-star Sakshi Tanwar and added, '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 in television.'
While Ronit made a name with hit shows like Kasautii Zindagi Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Sakshi is known for her lead role in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. In the same interview, he said that he has made enough money for multiple future generations of his family, and that he would earn eight years' worth of a regular person's salary in just one month on TV.

He noted, 'When you make it to the top like 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, and when that show shut down and they didn't get another show. They did not do well and disappeared." Ram praised Ronit Roy for his smart money moves. 'People like a Ronit… he has a lot of houses, vacation homes, and such a fantastic villa in Goa. He has been sensible because he started in films and he didn't make it in films. He was a flop actor in films and he didn't have money to eat. Then Ektaa Kapoor took him on. In television, he never looked back. He had seen failure so when he got success, he respected it from day one." He also highlighted Sakshi Tanwar's prudent lifestyle. He said, 'Same for Sakshi.

Meanwhile, Ram Kapoor is mired in a controversy. Just days ahead of the release of the mystery drama detective series 'Mistry', the actor has been dropped from all promotional activities related to the show. Mid-Day reports that the decision was made by senior leadership at JioHotstar after Ram Kapoor allegedly made sexually inappropriate and offensive remarks during a media event held at JW Marriott, Juhu on June 19. According to Mid-Day, several eyewitnesses revealed that Ram Kapoor, who was seated alongside his co-star Mona Singh, and JioHotstar executives, made comments loaded with sexual innuendo, leaving team members uncomfortable.
