Ram Kapoor has been dominating headlines due to his remarkable weight loss transformation. The actor’s dramatic physical makeover over the past year and a half has certainly inspired many of his fans. In a recent interview, Ram Kapoor shared insights into his journey and revealed how some of his closest industry friends reached out to him after his new look was unveiled. Among those who contacted him were actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar.
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Ram Kapoor shared that Smriti Irani was one of the first to reach out and praise his incredible physical transformation. He said, “Smriti is one of my closest friends and she was one of the first to call and she said ‘What have you done to yourself?’ She was one of the first people to call me after she saw this transformation. She is such a big name today. She is one of the most influential women of our country today.” Smriti Irani and Ram Kapoor have worked together in Ektaa Kapoor’s show Kavita. The show also starred Jayati Bhatia, Maya Alagh, Swati Chitnis, Harsh Khurrana and Gufi Paintal in key roles.
During the same interview, Ram Kapoor also shared that Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was one of the first to reach out after his physical transformation was revealed. “Sabse pehle Akshay Kumar ka phone aaya fir Smriti ka aaya,” he mentioned.
In December 2024, Ram Kapoor shared a striking photo on Instagram, showcasing his incredible weight loss journey. The actor shed an astonishing 55 kilograms in just one year, dropping from 140 kg to 85 kg. In a podcast with Devna Gandhi, Ram opened up about the challenges and strategies that fueled his remarkable transformation. The actor stated that his journey started five years back when he lost 30 kgs but gained it back. He said, “It taught me what not to do. I realized there are two types of people—those who prioritize health and fitness, and those who don’t. I decided to fully commit to becoming the best version of myself.”
Ram Kapoor has been a part of several popular shows including Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Kasamh Se, Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat, and Dhadkan, among others. His latest venture was a web show titled Khalbali Records, which premiered in September 2024.
