Producer Ekta Kapoor shared a cryptic post on her Instagram stories slamming “unprofessional actors” who were spreading “skewed” stories about her shows.
Ekta Kapoor wrote, “Unprofessional actors giving interviews about my shows should shut up! False information and skewed stories. Can only last till. I talk’…… but there is dignity in silence.”
Interestingly, Ekta’s words came after Ram Kapoor’s comments about the show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain went viral.
Bade Achhe Lagte Hain premiered in 2011. The show featured Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar as Ram and Priya respectively. Ram Kapoor shared about his on-screen kiss with Sakhsi Tanwar which received backlash back in the day. Ram Kapoor claimed he had reservations about the scene while Ekta Kapoor gave a go ahead during his conversation with Siddharth Kannan.
“Mera kaam as an actor is to do my job. I don’t owe an explanation to anybody… Mera kaam hai script ko follow karo… Main kaise bol sakta hu ki ye main nahi kar sakta, tab main actor nahi hu…so I did nothing wrong (As an actor, I had to follow the script. I couldn’t say “No” to something. So, I didn’t do anything wrong)”, Ram Kapoor said in his defence.
“Ekta’s the one who wrote the scene, wanted us to do the scene… I told Ekta, ‘Are you sure? Ye television mein pehle kabhi hua nahi hai, it was the first kiss of television, which is a big thing.
And three generations watch (the show) together… but Ekta was very confident ki wo karna hai…. I said, okay, I’ll first get a go-ahead from my wife… Fir maine Sakshi ko bola ki look, I will handle Ekta, if you have a problem, tell me,” he added.
Bade Achhe Lagte Hain was one of the popular shows on Indian television. The show was enlivened by Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar’s chemistry. In the second season, the senior actors were replaced by Nakuul Mehta and Disha Parmar.
