The cold war between noted producer Ekta Kapoor and actor Ram Kapoor is not ending any time soon. The Naagin producer shared two videos last evening on her Instagram handle about weight loss.
In one of the videos, Ekta asks her fans and followers which diet she should go on now—anti-inflammatory, Mounjaro, or ozempic, taking an indirect dig at Ram Kapoor for his drastic weight loss.
In the video, Ekta says, "Should I take pharmaceutical drugs like Mounjaro and Ozempic, follow an anti-inflammatory diet, or just keep quiet? Ya chhod doon, hum bade hi acche lagte hain (Let it be; I look good the way I am). In fact, the ending remark has caught the attention of the netizens, who think it is an indirect hit at Ram Kapoor (twisting his serial's title, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain).
Ram Kapoor has shut down rumors, saying that he didn't take Ozempic to shed so much weight and that it was all natural.

Earlier, Ram had shared a video and shut down trolls who claimed that he used Ozempic for his weight loss. He posted, "I have no best body. The point is, this kind of transformation requires hard work and long, long hours... no shortcuts, no surgery, no Ozempic. That only does weight loss, not this. Right? Within four to six months, I am going to get a rock-solid six-pack with blocks. That has to be done the hard way. Get it! But anyone who has done Ozempic or surgery, so what? Good for you all."
The ongoing controversy between Ram and Ekta started after the actor spoke about the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain controversy in an interview where he said that he had reservations about an on-screen kiss with Sakshi Tanwar for their show.
"My aim 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," said Ram Kapoor.
Ekta Kapoor had then made a cryptic post as well. "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."
In another video, Ekta said she asked one of her actresses to gain weight and normalise curves too.
Ram Kapoor left his fans in shock after losing 55 kg over a period of many months.
