Mumbai, July 15: Popular television actor Ram Kapoor is currently a contestant on the reality show ‘Lock Up: Sach Ya Saza’. In a recent episode, he opened up about his love story and the challenging phase Gautami Kapoor faced during her first marriage. He shared how their friendship gradually blossomed into love and how he supported Gautami during her difficult times.
In a conversation with Akanksha Chamola and Pamela Serena on the show, Ram Kapoor stated, “Gautami and I are a very strong couple. Generally, when someone likes another person, they only share their good qualities. However, I did the opposite. I revealed all my flaws and bad habits to Gautami right from the start. I thought she might distance herself from me after that, but it didn’t happen. Despite knowing my shortcomings, she started liking me.”
Ram recounted that they first met on the set of the TV serial ‘Ghar Ek Mandir’ in 2000. As they worked together, their friendship deepened, leading to more personal conversations about their lives.
He noted, “Gradually, I learned that Gautami was not happy in her first marriage. It lasted about two and a half years, but they spent most of that time apart. Our friendship had grown so deep that I would ask her questions about her life, and she trusted me enough to share everything.”
Ram revealed that during this time, he discovered Gautami wanted to end her first marriage, but she lacked full support from her family. “When I learned she wanted a divorce, it became clear that her family was against her decision. She wasn’t receiving the support she needed at that time,” he said.
He added, “When Gautami decided to separate from her first husband, Madhur Shroff, I stood by her as a friend. I told her that I would always be there if she needed any help. During that time, I became her closest friend, wanting to provide her with emotional support.”
Ram realized his feelings for Gautami while shooting for the film ‘Monsoon Wedding’ in Delhi. He mentioned, “After a long phone conversation one night, I suddenly felt that I missed her a lot. This realization was new for me, and it made me a bit anxious. Gautami was such a wonderful person. I tried to distance myself from her for a while, but I couldn’t last long. She sensed my distance and eventually asked me what was wrong.”
He later found out that Gautami had similar feelings for him but was hesitant to express them. Eventually, they decided to give their relationship a chance.
Ram emphasized that Gautami holds no regrets about her past. “Her first husband is a good person. He did nothing wrong. Sometimes relationships end simply because two people are not right for each other. No one can be blamed for that.”
After dating for about two years, Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor tied the knot in 2003. Today, they are proud parents of two children and are considered one of the most successful and strong couples in the television industry.
