Ekta Kapoor Fires Back At Ram Kapoor Over Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Scene Comments

Things got a little heated between producer Ekta Kapoor and actor Ram Kapoor over a kissing scene in their show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Ram recently opened up about the moment in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, and it didn’t sit well with Ekta. The actor said he had reservations about doing the scene and hinted that Ekta insisted it should be included. Soon after, Ekta responded on Instagram with a cryptic yet sharp post.

Ekta Kapoor’s Instagram Post Raises Eyebrows

Ekta didn’t name anyone, but her message was clear. She shared a note on her Instagram Stories saying, “Unprofessional actors giving interviews about my shows should shut up! False information and skewed stories can only last until I talk… but there is dignity in silence.” While she didn’t directly tag Ram, fans quickly connected the dots.

The statement caused a stir online. Fans speculated that her post was a direct response to Ram’s interview, where he discussed his initial hesitation about the intimate scene.

What Ram Kapoor Said

Ram Kapoor revealed that the kiss scene, which aired on Bade Achhe Lagte Hain in 2011, was groundbreaking for Indian television. He explained that it was unusual for TV at the time, given that families across generations often watched together. Ram said he approached Ekta with his concerns and even checked with his wife before agreeing to the scene.

He told Kannan, “I asked Ekta, ‘Are you sure about this? Television mein kabhi hua nahi.’ But Ekta was confident and said we had to do it. She trusted us.” He also talked about the backlash they faced after the episode aired. “Three generations of families were watching, and there was some heat after the scene aired,” Ram said, adding that Ekta handled the criticism.

The Scene That Sparked It All

The kissing scene between Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar’s characters was the first of its kind on Indian television. It was bold for the time and drew mixed reactions from the audience. While some viewers appreciated the realism, others felt it was too much for a family-oriented show. Despite the backlash, the scene became iconic, and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain cemented its place in Indian TV history.

Fans Weigh In

Social media users had a lot to say about the back-and-forth. Some supported Ekta, saying that actors should respect their scripts and not revisit old controversies. Others felt Ram was just sharing his side of the story and didn’t deserve the public call-out. “Ram Kapoor’s honesty is refreshing,” one user wrote, while another commented, “Ekta’s shows are iconic, but maybe she could’ve addressed this privately.”

The Legacy of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain

The show, which premiered in 2011, became a massive hit and is still fondly remembered by fans. Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar’s chemistry as Ram and Priya was a major reason for the show’s success. Years later, the show returned with new seasons featuring different leads, but the original remains a favorite.

For now, the feud between Ram and Ekta seems unresolved. Whether this will escalate further or quietly fizzle out remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, though—when it comes to Indian television, drama isn’t limited to the screen.
