Ram Kapoor Fails To Recognize Gaurav Khanna On Live TV! Social Media Outraged As Fans Label It 'Pure Jealousy'
A major showdown has taken over the digital space, sparking intense debates among Indian television enthusiasts. Popular TV veteran Ram Kapoor has found himself at the center of a raging social media storm following his controversial remarks regarding fellow actor Gaurav Khanna. The drama unfolded on the sets of the highly popular reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, which is currently being hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. During a recent high-voltage episode, Gaurav Khanna made a special guest appearance on the show to extend his emotional support to his wife and current contestant, Akanksha Chamola. However, what was meant to be a heartwarming family reunion quickly turned into a major talking point due to Ram Kapoor’s unexpected reaction.
"Is He Famous?" Ram Kapoor's Casual Query To Dheeraj Dhoopar Triggers Mass Backlash
While Gaurav Khanna was busy interacting with Akanksha, Ram Kapoor was caught on camera questioning fellow contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar about the guest’s identity. Ram bluntly asked, "What does he do?" to which Dheeraj responded that Gaurav is a well-established actor. Ram then added, "Is he famous? I've never seen him before, but that's because I don't watch any content." Interestingly, when Gaurav later walked up to meet Ram, the veteran actor changed his demeanor entirely, giving him a quick hug and casually stating, "It's nice to see you again, friend." The video clip of this particular transition went instantly viral on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), igniting a wave of criticism from the audience.
Netizens Blast Veteran Actor For Falsely Playing Innocent: "Height Of Jealousy!"
The internet did not take Ram Kapoor’s apparent ignorance lightly, with thousands of fans flooding comment sections to express their sheer displeasure. Furious netizens pointed out the contradiction in his behavior—questioning Gaurav's fame behind his back but acting overly friendly to his face. Angry comments like "This is the absolute height of jealousy" and "Brother should definitely think before speaking" began trending under the viral clip. One passionate fan even questioned the veteran's claim by stating, "If a megastar like Salman Khan knows Gaurav Khanna, how can Ram Kapoor pretend he has absolutely no clue?"
Loyal Fans Jump To Ram Kapoor’s Defense Citing His Iconic Television Legacy
Despite the heavy trolling, a massive section of the internet actively rushed to defend the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain star. Supporters argued that Ram had explicitly stated on camera that he does not consume local television content, making his ignorance completely genuine rather than malicious. Fans also reminded critics of Ram Kapoor’s unmatched legacy in the Indian soap opera industry, where he reigned as one of the highest-paid actors during his iconic stint as Jai Walia in Kasamh Se. On the other hand, Gaurav Khanna holds his own massive fandom, having won hearts in Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam alongside high-profile reality show victories in Celebrity Master Chef and Bigg Boss 19.
