Ram Kapoor REACTS To His Comment On Smriti Irani's Weight: ‘She Knows What I Meant'
Ram Kapoor was trolled for his comment about Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi co-star Smriti Irani's weight. He has now said that trolls do not matter to him. Ram Kapoor's recent remark about his Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi co-star Smriti Irani did not go down well with a section of netizens. In a conversation with Humans Of Bombay, he praised Smriti for achieving greater success than him despite her weight. However, many netizens perceived his remarks as backhanded compliments laced with body-shaming, and he was trolled for calling her 'huge'. Ram Kapoor has now reacted to the backlash, stating that Smriti Irani knows exactly what he meant to say, and that the trolls do not matter to him. While speaking with FilmiBeat, Ram Kapoor reacted to the criticism he faced for his remark about Smriti Irani. He said, 'Smriti knows what I meant, and I know what I meant. The other people don't matter to her, or me. Understand that. When you are saying something with a clean heart, and you have a reason behind it and you are saying something positive about the person who you have regard for. As long as that person doesn't misunderstand you, nobody else should matter. Nobody." Ram Kapoor Slams Trolls He further slammed trolls and said, 'All these people who latch on and comment should never ever be taken seriously. Because all they do is comment about other people's lives, instead of living their own life. You cannot be a bigger loser than that. You have one shot live to live in. In your watch, it's not the seconds that are ticking by. It's your life that is going by. And during that period, instead of living their life, they only comment on other people's life. You really want to take their comment seriously? Then go get yourself checked for mental retardation." He said that only the opinions of your loved ones—family and close friends—should matter. 'All these others, you are only wasting time of your life if you are even reading what they say. Because they are not confident enough to go live or make their own lives. They only want to say bad things about other people's lives," he said. He further explained that when a journalist makes a comment, it is different- because it's a professional making a comment. However, he said that he doesn't feel the need to respond to 'random people' online making comments. What Did Ram Kapoor Say About Smriti Irani? In his interview with Humans Of Bombay, Ram Kapoor said that in today's world, success often comes with an unspoken demand to look a certain way, and highlighted that it is tough for overweight actors to break through. He then brought up Smriti Irani, and said, 'She was my size as a woman and probably more successful than me. It is just that she left earlier." He said, 'When she started Kyunki Saas and when she ended, she was huge. Her logic was now I have played a character who has taken so many leaps. 'Now I am playing a grandmother.' So you see her in the first year of Kyunki to last year, you will notice that she is as big as I am. We were equally successful." He added, 'I have even spoken to her about this. She was just staying true to her character. When she entered the series, she played just a wife, then she became a mother, then the show took several leaps in eight years of its run. She allowed herself to become bigger. If she would have continued in television, she would have probably much bigger than me. She left because she joined politics and she is doing great."

Ram Kapoor recalls financial struggles in his early acting days; says, 'Lived off Gautami's income for some time after the marriage'
Actor Ram Kapoor is all over the news for a number of reasons. From his drastic weight loss transformation to making headlines for 'inappropriate statements,' buying a Lamborghini Urus, and more, the actor has kept fans hooked with his latest updates. Ram recently gave an interview to Humans Of Bombay, where he opened up about his acting journey, financial struggles in his early acting days, and more. He revealed how he used to earn Rs 1,500 and lived off wife Gautami's income for a while after marriage. Ram mentioned how an actor's life is very unpredictable and either they could be earning great or be struggling financially, and it could be a dog's life. He further revealed how actors like Ronit Roy , Sakshi Tanwar, and more have earned a lot in their acting careers and have made the right financial decisions. He shared, 'When you make it to the top like Ronit Roy, Sakshi, and me, and you are sensible, then you have made enough for your three to four generations. I know Ronit and Sakshi have done this, and they are set for four generations. For 15 to 20 years, I made a salary cheque of a ridiculously high amount. If you are sensible with your investments, you are set. Television is a dog's life; if you make it, then it's fine. I started with Rs 1,500 a month and lived off Gautami's income for some time after the marriage. ' He even revealed how successful actors like Ronit Roy have many houses and properties. Moreover, he mentioned actress Sakshi Tanwar has made enough money for generations. He praised them for making the right financial decisions and investments in their life. Ram Kapoor shared, 'People like 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 the 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. 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.'

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Sexual Misconduct On Film Set: "After Me Too, People Are Fearful"
New Delhi: Fatima Sana Shaikh, who will be next seen in Metro... In Dino, opened up about sexual misconduct on film set, casting couch and power dynamics in an interview with Humans Of Bombay. The Dangal actress said there's a conspicuous change after the #MeToo movement (2018) but the industry has to go a long way. What's Happening Fatima Sana Shaikh, who's known for speaking her mind out, told Humans Of Bombay that people "are more accountable" now and they are a little more "fearful". "There is a conversation. There is an investigation... it exists in every industry," she added that complaints are taken more seriously than before. "You are working with someone, you have become intimate. But then you don't understand, the lines are blurred. Then there is the dynamic of the power," Fatima weighed in on the debate of a thin blurry line existing between the professional and personal lives, often making the grey areas of sexual misconduct unnoticed. Talking about the change where women can talk about their experiences in public, Fatima said, "Because it is a male-dominant industry. And now, after Me Too, women can talk about it... You will be held accountable." Reflecting upon her own personal experiences, Fatima said she's been into "uncomfortable" positions but never faced outright sexual misconduct on film set. "It's not like the industry is bad. Any incident that has happened, it's just been this one little, small-time somebody and some conversation," she remarked. Praising the OTT giants which have ensured women's safety on the sets of the film, Fatima said, "Somebody will come from this agency... you will have a meeting with the cast, crew, and all the HODs. You will be told what your rights are, what is appropriate, what is not," Fatima explained, referring to the PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) sessions that are now mandatory during shoots. In A Nutshell Fatima Sana Shaikh revealed she never faced sexual misconduct on sets. However, she's often been put into "uncomfortable" situations.
