Ram Kapoor, who is known for his hit TV shows like Kasamh Se, Bade Acche Lagte Hain and his work in films, celebrates his 51st birthday today (September 1). On his special day, the seasoned actor shared a shirtless mirror selfie on his Instagram account, flashing his washboard abs.
Sharing the photos he mentioned in his post about leading a healthier life, "52 years old today! I’m feeling healthier and younger than I have felt in more than 25 YEARS! Age is just a number…"
The post quickly grabbed attention across social media. Admirers praised his fitness transformation, calling it “motivating,” while his wife, actress
Gautami Kapoor, added a warm and encouraging comment. She wrote, "�� super year ahead! Happy bday."
A fan mentioned in the comment how it was “the best birthday gift one can give himself," while another praised his “stunning, impressive and inspiring" journey.
The struggle and journey to lose weight has not been easy for the seasoned actor. Ram recently appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast, where he shared that doctors had seriously warned him about his health. They told him that if he didn’t start taking care of himself, he could face life-threatening issues, including the risk of a diabetic stroke.
In the interview, Ram spoke about the health issues he dealt with two years ago. He also admitted that there was a time when he would finish an entire KFC bucket on his own.
Ram said, "When I was shooting Neeyat in Scotland, I was at my worst. I was taking insulin shots thrice a day, before every meal. I was 140 kg, and my sugar was at ridiculous heights. My doctor told me that I’m working so much and I’m so unhealthy, I could have a diabetic stroke. That’s how unhealthy I was. I had to do a transformation, otherwise I would not have long to live.”
On the work front, Ram was seen playing a central role in a web show, 'Mistry'.
