Earlier this year, Ekta Kapoor appeared to take a subtle jibe at Ram Kapoor’s weight loss transformation.
Ektaa Kapoor clarifies her viral video was not aimed at Ram Kapoor.
Ektaa Kapoor has finally clarified that her viral video, in which she was talking about Ozempic, was not a dig at Ram Kapoor. Ektaa recently attended the India Today Conclave Mumbai 2025, where she revealed that her post was personal and was not intended as a comment on any particular individual.
“This was exactly one week before I launched the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain promo, where the main character tries to fit into a medium. The promo was about body shaming, self-doubt, and self-assurance. Somehow, people took my post and spun it into something completely unrelated,” Ektaa said.
The producer of several hit shows on television further stated that even she was shocked when people linked her video to Ram Kapoor. “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?” she added.
What Did Ektaa Kapoor Say In Her Video?
Earlier this year, Ekta Kapoor appeared to take a subtle jibe at Ram Kapoor’s weight loss transformation. She shared a video on social media in which she said, “What do I do? I’ve gained a lot of weight. Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Mounjaro? Ozempic? All of the above? Zip my mouth? Ya chhod dun? Hum bade hi acche lagte hain (Or shall I leave it? Because I look good just the way I am)!” In the caption, she also wrote: “Ozempic ho jaye.”
The ‘bade hi acche lagte hain’ line made many believe that she was talking about Ram Kapoor.
Ram Kapoor’s Wife Gautami Slams Ektaa Kapoor
Soon after, Ram Kapoor’s wife, Gautami Kapoor, gave a sarcastic twist to Ekta’s indirect dig at her husband. “Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Should I take Mounjaro? Should I take Ozempic (pharmaceutical drugs), or all of the above? Or should I just zip my mouth? But I think mere liye gym hi kaafi hai (For me, the gym is enough),” she said in a video on Instagram.
Gautami concluded by taking a dig at Ekta’s show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and said, “Kyunki humein bade nahi, chhote hi achhe lagte hain.”
Sharing the video, Gautami wrote in the caption, “Jisse jo pasand ho… use woh karne do (Let people do what they like) … live and let live… at the end, what matters is health, happiness, and peace (sic).”
