Ekta Kapoor has constantly worked on taboo topics and portrayed them with grace in the Television world. If on one hand she made TV shows like Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, she would also break the mould with shows like Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Thus, when Bade Acche Lagte Hai, a show about sweet romance buildup between Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar's character made a wild turn one night, the male actor automatically assumed it were Ekta's idea. Unfortunately, that was just the starting point of what were to become controversial. Ram Kapoor, who was promoting his JioHotstar show Mistry, spoke about the controversy. Here's everything he said...
Ram Kapoor assumed Bade Acche Lagte Hai kiss between him and Sakshi Tanwar was Ekta Kapoor's idea
During his recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ram Kapoor said that the kiss on Bade Acche Lagte Hai was Ekta Kapoor's idea. The actor recalled asking her about how it was the first-of-a-kind on-screen kiss for Indian TV. On hearing the claims, Ekta got furious and called Ram an unprofessional actor while warning that she could also talk but chose dignified silence instead.
On the kiss scene controversy, Ram told various media portals that he assumed it was Ekta Kapoor's idea, only to realize that was not the case. "I presumed that whole kiss thing was her idea. She’s the one who informed us. Maybe it was the writers, maybe not. Since she got upset, maybe it wasn’t hers," the actor shared.

Ram Kapoor's wife Gautami Kapoor was seen mimicking Ekta Kapoor in her Instagram stories while talking about Ram Kapoor's weight loss journey. "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. Kyunki humein bade nahi, chhote hi achhe lagte hain," the actress said in her video. Defending his wife, Ram said Gautami was having fun on social media. He believed the news would die down but unfortunately, it did not.
Ram Kapoor's response to Ekta Kapoor lashing out
"How can I disregard all she has done for me? She gave me a platform. I became a household name because of her. So, anything she wants to say about me—even if it's names for the next 10 years—please do so. Nobody in the industry has done what she did for me," Ram had said in a media statement. The remarks come days after he was ousted from Mistry promotions owing to insensitive jokes.
