Popular actor Ram Kapoor, who was recently in the spotlight for personal reasons, walked down memory lane as he candidly recalled the financial struggles he faced early in his acting career. Speaking to Moneycontrol, Ram opened up about how his wife, actress Gautami Kapoor, supported him during those challenging times. “When I married Gautami, I lived off her income for the first year. She used to film for a show called Lipstick, and I had no employment. I would get up, make her coffee, and she would leave for work while I stayed at home for a complete year,” he revealed.
Ram, who began his journey with Doordarshan earning just Rs 1,000 per day, described the uncertainty that marked his initial years in the industry. “There were good years when I was earning well, and then there were years when there was no work at all. I started at Rs 1,500 per day. It was challenging. But Gautami stood by me. And look where we are now,” he shared with gratitude.
His fortunes changed with the success of the iconic TV show Kasamh Se. He recalled, “Just when the show started, my daughter was born and I never looked back. The minute she came, everything changed.”
On the personal front, Ram and Gautami’s relationship is often seen as one of the strongest bonds in the television world. The couple, who met on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir, tied the knot in 2003 and have a daughter together. Despite professional ups and downs, their partnership has remained steady and inspiring.
Professionally, Ram Kapoor has established himself as one of Indian television’s most versatile actors, with shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se cementing his place in viewers’ hearts. His journey from financial instability to stardom is a testament to perseverance and the power of unwavering support.
