Ram Kapoor made headlines with his remarkable weight loss, dropping from 140 kg to 85 kg within a year. In a recent interview, his wife Gautami Kapoor opened up about the sacrifices their family made during his transformation journey.

In the latest interview with Hautterfly, Gautami said, “We have been in the midst of some crazy controversies this year. But let me tell you, it’s been really, really hard. It’s been a journey not just for Ram, but for all of us as a family. We stopped socialising, stopped going out, and stopped ordering food from outside — something we used to love."

Gautami shared that their daughter Sia had lost 38 kilos even before Ram Kapoor began his rigorous weight loss journey, which involved extreme methods such as 24-hour and 48-hour fasts. She said that Ram was greatly inspired by Sia's commitment and early start.

“My daughter warned me not to say anything. But they were almost starving themselves — Sia, Ram… they were determined," she added. She also stated that their son also shed 10 kilos in the same time frame.

Popular for his part in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Ram Kapoor has astounded fans with his striking physical makeover. The actor, who was once criticised for having a larger frame, has gained widespread recognition for his commitment and perseverance both on and off screen as a result of his remarkable fitness journey.
