Television actor Ram Kapoor is currently locked inside Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh’s reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. In a recent episode, actor Gaurav Khanna entered the house as a guest to support his wife, Akanksha Chamola. However, it was Ram’s remark about not knowing who Gaurav was that caught viewers’ attention, with many accusing him of being “jealous”.
Ram Kapoor says he doesn’t know Gaurav Khanna
As Gaurav was speaking to Akanksha, Ram asked fellow contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar, “What does he do?” Dheeraj replied that Gaurav is an actor, to which Ram said, “Is he well known, though? I have never seen him before, but that’s because I don’t watch any content.” Later, when Gaurav met Ram, the latter warmly hugged him and said, “Good to see you again, man.”
The clip quickly went viral, with social media users reacting strongly to Ram’s remarks. One user commented, “Bro needs to hesitate.” Another wrote, “Jealousy at its peak.” A third said, “That’s clearly jealousy.” Another commented, “Jealousy at its peak, and then he acted so sweet while meeting Gaurav.” One more user wrote, “If Salman Khan knows GK, how come Ram Kapoor doesn’t?” However, several fans defended Ram, with one writing, “He clearly said he doesn’t watch any content,” while another argued, “Ram has done more famous shows than Gaurav.”
Ram is a television veteran and was once among the highest-paid actors on Indian TV. He rose to fame as Jai Walia in Kasamh Se and later became a household name with Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.
