Ram Kapoor ‘Work In Progress' Photo Will Make You Hit The Gym
His toned body and carved jawline are being praised by numerous fans in response to his new appearance. Ram Kapoor, who was once well-known for having a sleeker, fuller body in popular serials like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se, never ceases to surprise viewers with his fitness transformation. The actor once again astounded fans on April 29 when he shared a new batch of images on Instagram that demonstrated that he is ageing backwards. Ram Kapoor shared a photo of his body transformation, this time without a shirt. The actor has drawn attention to the fact that the mission is still ongoing by standing shirtless with his chest out, displaying a sharply defined face and a defined jawline. 'Work in progress… sorry for the partial nudity … still long way to go to reach the goal," he captioned his post. Within a few hours, the post garnered over 6,000 likes and several comments. There was a flood of responses in the comment section. Some admirers were in awe of him, calling him a 'beast" and appreciating the restraint that went into his transformation, while others missed the Ram Kapoor they had grown up seeing. A user wrote, 'Dayummmm," while another commented, 'U looked much better earlier. pehle aap bade ache lagte the!" 'I miss your chubby cheeks," an emotional fan said. 'Looking good, your dedication to fitness and overall appearance shows. It's inspiring," an individual remarked. It is not the first time that Ram Kapoor has drawn attention. The actor made waves when he revealed that he had shed an incredible 55 kg, inspiring thousands of admirers across. Reportedly, Ram Kapoor has been questioned and criticised despite the acclaim, especially on how he endured the change. The controversial weight-loss medication Ozempic is something he has publicly denied using. In addition to this health-focused transformation, Ram Kapoor and TV czarina Ektaa Kapoor were involved in a quiet verbal sparring match. After he claimed that Ektaa had insisted on the now-famous kissing sequence between him and Sakshi Tanwar in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, their tension became public knowledge. Ektaa responded by subtly criticising his attempts to lose weight, which only fuelled the breakdown rumours. Regarding his career, Ram Kapoor most recently appeared in the web series Khalbali Records, which debuted on September 12, 2024. First Published:

Exclusive- Roopal Tyagi on her experience of working in TV shows says, 'It teaches you how to balance priorities and give your best under pressure'
Actress , popularly known for her role as Gunjan in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, talks about working on Television for years. She shared her experience as a TV actor. She said, "What I truly believe is one of the greatest things about working in television is that it teaches you how to perform under intense pressure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Whether it's the pressure of time, receiving scripts at the last minute, or having little to no preparation, television trains you to adapt quickly. You learn to truly embody your character so deeply that even if something is thrown at you unexpectedly, you instinctively know how your character would respond. That's an incredible skill to develop." She continued, "In fact, when you see an actor delivering a strong performance on television, it's important to recognize the level of discipline and talent that is required. If someone is doing well in such a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, you can be sure they'll shine just as brilliantly—if not more—in mediums like OTT or film, where there's more time for rehearsal and character preparation." She explained, "Television actors are constantly working against the clock. We often shoot an episode a day and sustain the same character over months or even years. To keep that character fresh, engaging, and emotionally consistent over such long periods takes a tremendous amount of craft. So if someone can pull that off successfully, it says a lot about their calibre as an actor." She added, "That's the beauty of television—it teaches you how to balance priorities, stay focused, and give your best under pressure. It's a tough space, but it builds you up in ways few other formats cant." Talking ahead about her share of struggle she mentioned, "I've been in the industry for around 17 years now—first as a choreographer and then as a television actor, working across both fiction and non-fiction formats. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now One of the biggest things I've observed over the years is the lack of proper guidance in the industry. When I started out, there was no structure at all. We didn't even know who to approach or how to go about things. " "While things are starting to become a bit more organized now, and I do see some positive changes happening, this gap in mentorship and structure has been a long-standing issue—not just in television, but across the entertainment industry as a whole. The fact that things are slowly evolving is definitely a step in the right direction," she concluded. She was last seen in , and is also known for featuring in shows like Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, Dill Mill Gaye, Hamari Betiyoon Ka Vivaah, Kasamh Se. She also contested reality shows like Dance India Dance Li'l Masters 2, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8, Bigg Boss 9.

Ram Kapoor shares pics of his toned body amid drastic weight loss transformation; writes, 'Sorry for partial nudi*y'
Ram Kapoor, formerly popular for his suave and fuller physique in blockbuster serials such as Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se, continues to amaze audiences with his astonishing fitness makeover. On Tuesday, the actor stunned fans yet again after posting a fresh set of photos on Instagram that prove one thing: he's actually ageing backwards. On his recent post, Ram took a glimpse at how his physique had changed – this time around without a shirt, though. Posed shirtlessly with his chest out showing clearly a sculpted face and cut jawline, the actor has made everyone notice that the mission is really yet to come to an end. Captioning, he put it, "Work in progress… sorry for the partial nudity … still long way to go to reach the goal. The comment section was filled with a deluge of reactions. While some fans were awed, terming him a "beast" and admiring the self-control behind his makeover, others were nostalgic about the Ram Kapoor they had grown up watching. One user posted, "Dayummmm," while another said, "U looked much better earlier. pehle aap bade ache lagte the!" A very emotional fan posted, "I miss your chubby cheeks." This is not the first time Ram Kapoor has made heads turn. The actor grabbed headlines when he announced that he had lost a staggering 55 kgs — a feat that motivated thousands of fans all over the country. However, even amidst praise, Ram has been criticized and speculated upon, particularly about how he underwent the transformation. He has openly denied taking Ozempic, a contentious weight-loss drug. Amidst all this health-centric makeover, Kapoor was also embroiled in a subtle war of words with TV czarina Ektaa Kapoor. Their tension became public after Ram alleged that Ektaa had insisted on the now-famous kissing scene between him and Sakshi Tanwar in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. As a counterattack, Ektaa took a veiled swipe at his weight reduction efforts, which only added to the rumors of a breakdown. In spite of personal and professional soap operas, Ram is steadfast on his path and an example of commitment and self-control. His fans, either pro or con his physical transformation, still look up to the man who once revolutionized the TV hero and now is revolutionizing midlife fitness. On the professional front, Ram was recently seen in the web show Khalbali Records, which went on air on September 12, 2024. With his new look and incessant reinvention, one thing is certain — Ram Kapoor is not yet done.
