Ektaa Kapoor's popularity reached a new high with the superhit serial Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, which became a household name and cemented her deep professional bond with lead actor Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar. While his co-star, actress Sakshi Tanwar, was also adored, it was Ram Kapoor's unconventional charm as a plus-sized romantic lead that captivated audiences and made the show a phenomenon. However, Ram Kapoor recently stunned fans and made headlines with a jaw-dropping physical transformation, revealing a much slimmer and healthier physique. The actor has opened up about his journey in various interviews and shared that this dramatic weight loss has been possible through sheer discipline. But it seems his former show’s director took a jibe at his weight loss journey.

Earlier this year, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain director Ektaa Kapoor shared a post on her Instagram where she could be seen discussing her concern about weight loss. She asked, "What do I do? I’ve gained a lot of weight. Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Mounjaro? Ozempic? All of the above? Zip my mouth? Ya chhod dun? Hum bade hi acche lagte hain." Her video left fans wondering whether this was an indirect dig at Ram Kapoor.

Ektaa Kapoor recently attended the India Today Conclave Mumbai 2025 and opened up about her previous post. “I am going to take a moment to tell everyone, this was exactly one week before I launched the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain promo, where the promo itself had a line that the girl is trying on an outfit and she’s a large size and wants to fit into a medium. Again, dealing with body-shaming, self-doubt and self-assurance. This was taken in a completely different direction. The very next video I put up immediately after that was about how we, as women, should start accepting ourselves,” she shared.

The director denied making any jibe at the actor and exclaimed, “I have no idea how Ram Kapoor, who is neither a woman, nor on television currently, and not battling any weight issues – he’s lost a lot of weight – came into the picture. I was like, really? It’s like I am talking about my hair and somebody somewhere else says, ‘Oh, you called me bald.’ Why would I do that?”

Ektaa Kapoor also revealed that she is absolutely alright with people choosing Ozempic for their weight loss. In fact, the filmmaker shared that she might consider it herself due to the pain in her joints because of inflammation.
