Gautami Kapoor Questions Timing of Shreya Kalra's Allegations Against Ram Kapoor; Here's What She Said

Gautami Kapoor has come out strongly in support of her husband, actor Ram Kapoor, amid the controversy surrounding his behaviour on reality show 'Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa'. The actor recently found himself at the centre of a debate after contestant Shreya Kalra accused him of crossing personal boundaries inside the show.

As criticism against Ram intensified online, Gautami addressed the issue through a video message on social media, urging people not to judge him based on edited episodes and isolated clips.

Gautami Kapoor Breaks Her Silence:

Gautami revealed that she initially had no plans to comment on the controversy but felt compelled to speak after witnessing the reactions over the past few days. “I had actually decided not to speak up regarding the show Lock Upp, but I think the last 2-3 days are kind of refraining me from being silent,” she said.

Speaking on behalf of her husband, Gautami dismissed labels being attached to Ram online. “So, I came here to speak today on behalf of my husband. A lot of people are passing judgments and comments, saying that he's a sleaze, he's a tharki, he's an old man who has some vested interests. So let me tell you guys that this is the way Ram is.”

Gautami Defends Ram's Personality:

She described Ram as someone who is genuine and emotional, adding that he entered the reality show without any specific strategy. “I'm not defending him for the way he is, but he's a man who is all heart, and he went into the game show or the reality show without any strategy or any plan. So, I think that is what is coming across.”

She further argued that if Ram had actually behaved inappropriately, fellow contestants would have raised concerns much earlier. “If he was being sleazy, then I'm sure the inmates would have called him out in the initial days of the show.”

What Shreya Kalra Alleged:

The controversy began after Shreya Kalra made remarks about Ram Kapoor during a conversation inside 'Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa'. Recalling an earlier incident, she said, “When Shivangi was doing her task, Ram sir came very close to her. So Harshad said, 'Don't come so close'. As soon as he moved, he said, sorry. What sorry? That man comes and spits (when he speaks). Say it to his face. He literally spit all over the f***ing place.”

Shreya also expressed discomfort over Ram allegedly kissing her cheeks multiple times. “Maintain some boundaries. And this time, if he tries to kiss me, I'm gonna hold his mouth and be like, that my father doesn't kiss me this much, don't kiss me now.”

Gautami Questions The Timing:

Addressing the allegations, Gautami questioned why the issue surfaced only now after contestants had spent several weeks together inside the house.

“Then why is it now that suddenly there's this uproar and people are talking about it? I mean, what is the reason?” She suggested that the tension may have stemmed from game dynamics after Ram did not support Shreya as a gang leader despite her backing him in tasks.

"Episodes Are Edited..."

Gautami also reminded viewers that reality shows present edited footage and not the complete picture. “Also, let's not forget that the episodes are edited. We don't know what the whole story is. We only see the edited version.”

She urged audiences to be mindful of the impact their comments can have on contestants' families and concluded her message by expressing unwavering support for her husband. “Ram, we love you, and we are rooting for you. All the best.”

The controversy continues to generate discussion online as viewers remain divided over Ram Kapoor's conduct and Shreya Kalra's allegations on 'Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa'
