‘TV ek kutte ki zindagi hai…’; Meet actor who was dependent on his wife’s income, expressed his pain, and once worked for Rs 1,500 a day, he is…
There are many great artists in the TV industry. Many artists achieve popularity and recognition after a long struggle, while many get lost. One of the most talented actors has recalled his struggle. He told that when he was not getting work, his wife was running the house. Be it television, OTT platform or film industry, this actor has gradually made his mark. But his journey to popularity was not easy. There was a time when he faced a huge financial crisis and had to completely depend on the earnings of his wife Gautami. The name of this actor is Ram Kapoor.
How Ram Kapoor’s controversial statement made headlines
In an interview to ‘Humans of Bombay’, Ram Kapoor said that if TV actors invest wisely, they will have enough money for all the needs of life. He said, “When you reach the top and are wise like Ronit Roy, Sakshi Tanwar, and me, you have earned enough for your 3 or 4 generations.” Ram Kapoor said, “I know Ronit and Sakshi have done it, and they are set for 4 generations. For 15-20 years, I have charged a very hefty amount as fees. TV is a dog’s life; if you make it, it’s fine.”
When Ram Kapoor earned Rs 1,500 per day
Ram Kapoor said, “After a year of my marriage, I had to live on Gautami’s earnings because I had no work. Nobody remembers this. Gautami was doing ‘Lipstick’ at that time. I was doing nothing. When I started, I started with Rs 1,500 per day on Doordarshan. Yes, that was my beginning. You have to be ready to start again.”
Ram Kapoor also spoke about Ronit Roy and Sakshi Tanwar’s success and their journey in the industry. Calling Ronit his ‘senior’, the actor said, “He started out in films, but he didn’t succeed. He didn’t have money to eat until Ekta took him on television, after which he never looked back.”
What Ram Kapoor said about Ronit Roy
Ram Kapoor further added, “But he (Ronit) has seen failure, so when he got success, he respected it from day one. So I looked up to Ronit, and I learnt a little bit from Ronit. His investments have always been right.” Citing the example of Sakshi Tanwar, Ram Kapoor said, “Sakshi is a very sensible girl. She is not fond of fancy cars like me. She has enough money for 6 generations because she spends very wisely.”
