Ektaa R Kapoor Clarifies Viral Video Had Nothing to Do with Ram Kapoor

In late September 2025, producer Ektaa R Kapoor addressed the chatter surrounding her recent viral video on body image and diets. The video had sparked a wave of speculation online, with many linking it to actor Ram Kapoor after his wife Gautami Kapoor shared a lighthearted video of her own.

Ektaa Kapoor, the head honcho of Balaji Telefilms, clarified that the video had been posted in connection with the fourth season of her hit TV series Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. She explained that the video was never intended for anyone else and was about broader themes of self-image and acceptance.

Dismissing the links to Ram Kapoor, Ektaa stated, "I don't know where Ram Kapoor came into this. He's not a woman, not on TV right now, and he's actually lost a lot of weight. It's like I'm talking about my hair, and someone says, 'Oh, you called me bald.' Why would I do that?"

Ektaa's original video featured her speaking about body weight and possible solutions, with a humorous undertone. This prompted Gautami Kapoor to share a similar video, which many assumed was a response. However, Ektaa's latest clarification firmly puts the rumors to rest, emphasizing that her post was about broader themes of self-image and acceptance, not aimed at any individual.
