‘Let The Drama Begin': Fans On Ram Kapoor And Gautami Kapoor In Bigg Boss 19
Last Updated: Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19 is expected to run for nearly six months. Bigg Boss Season 19 is gearing up for a dramatic return, promising some of the biggest changes in its history. With Salman Khan continuing as the host, fans are brimming with excitement, eager to know every detail from the premiere date to the new format and the anticipated contestant list. This season, the show is taking a bold step forward. Bigg Boss 19 is expected to run for nearly six months, extending well beyond its usual three-month timeline. This makes it the longest season in the show's history. But that's not all, another major shift lies in the casting approach. In contrast to recent seasons that introduced digital influencers and YouTubers, this time the makers are returning to a celebrity-only format. The focus will be on bringing established television and Bollywood personalities into the house. Among the many speculated names, a buzz that has caught everyone's attention is the entry of the power couple—Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor. According to an Instagram post by TellyChakkar, the couple who have successful careers in both television and Bollywood, have reportedly been approached for Bigg Boss 19. However, no official confirmation has been made yet. The post features a picture of the couple with the caption: 'According to sources, Ram Kapoor and his wife Gautami Kapoor have been approached to participate in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 19." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tellychakkar Official ® (@tellychakkar) As expected, the internet couldn't keep calm. Fans flooded the comments section with a mix of reactions. One user wrote, 'Ram & Gautami on Bigg Boss 19? Now this is the power couple we didn't know we needed. Let the drama begin!" Another urged, 'Please don't touch this happily married couple. God, leave them!" It remains to be seen whether the couple will accept the invitation and step into the most unpredictable house on Indian television. If they do, audiences will be eager to watch how their real-life bond plays out amid the chaos and drama that Bigg Boss is known for. For those unfamiliar with their story, Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor tied the knot on Valentine's Day in 2003. Their love story began on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir, where their on-screen chemistry gradually blossomed into an off-screen relationship. As fate would have it, the show titled Ghar Ek Mandir (A House is a Temple) became a beautiful metaphor for their real life, as the two decided to build a 'ghar" together and turn it into their very own 'mandir."

‘If I should gift her a sex toy…': How Gautami Kapoor's unconventional parenting to 16-year-old daughter Sia breaks taboos around teen sexuality
Parenting in today's digital age comes with unique challenges, particularly when addressing topics like intimacy and self-exploration with teenagers. TV actor Gautami Kapoor recently shared her approach to these conversations with her daughter Sia. 'It's so funny that when my daughter turned 16, I was thinking of what to gift her and I thought if I should gift her a sex toy or a vibrator,' Gautami revealed in a recent interaction with Hauterrfly, showcasing her unusually open parenting style. The mother of two described her daughter's shocked reaction: 'Mom have you lost it, are you retarded or crazy.' Gautami explained her reasoning to her daughter, saying, 'Think about it. How many mothers would be willing to talk to their daughters about gifting something like this? Why don't you experiment.' Story continues below this ad She further elaborated on her parenting philosophy, adding, 'What my mom didn't do with me, I don't not want to do that with my daughter. I want her to experience everything. A lot of women go through life without experiencing its pleasures. Why be in that situation? Today, my daughter is 19 and she appreciates the fact that I at least had that thought.' So, at what age should parents begin conversations about sexual health and intimacy with their children? Neha Parashar, clinical psychologist, Mindtalk, tells 'Conversations about sexual health and intimacy should ideally begin early, in age-appropriate stages. For example, from the ages of 3 to 6, parents can begin discussing body boundaries. As children grow, these conversations can evolve, covering topics such as puberty, consent, relationships, emotional well-being, and eventually intimacy and safe sexual practices during adolescence.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gautami Kapoor (@gautamikapoor) The key is to treat these conversations as ongoing dialogues rather than one-time discussions, notes Parashar. 'When approached with openness and without shame, children feel more comfortable asking questions and developing a healthy understanding of their bodies. Self-exploration and sexual autonomy are part of personal development, and framing them in the context of safety, respect, and emotional maturity can help teenagers navigate these topics with confidence.' How can parents balance breaking generational taboos while still maintaining appropriate boundaries with their children? Breaking generational taboos can be empowering, but it's important to do so within a framework of mutual respect and emotional safety. Parashar states, 'Balancing this involves being honest yet measured. Parents can share their experiences to provide context, but they must also respect their child's need for autonomy and space. It's less about prescribing specific experiences and more about creating an environment where the child feels safe to explore life on their own terms, without fear of judgement.' Long-term effects of normalising conversations about physical intimacy Normalising conversations around physical intimacy helps remove the shame and confusion often associated with sexual development. 'Long-term, this openness fosters self-respect, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. It also allows young adults to approach their own sexuality with clarity rather than secrecy or guilt. The appreciation Gautami's daughter expressed highlights an important truth, many young people value not just the information, but the sense of trust that comes from knowing their parent is willing to talk openly and supportively,' concludes Parashar.

She told me never to be afraid. If anyone ever does something like that, hold their hand tightly, shout loudly, and never panic. If you feel scared, keep pepper spray with you and use it on their face, or just take off your shoe and hit them. Nothing will happen to you."
