Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor
Veteran television actor Ram Kapoor has candidly reflected on a deeply personal phase of his life, admitting that he was largely an absent father for nearly 10 years while focusing intensely on his career. In a heartfelt conversation alongside his wife Gautami Kapoor, Ram spoke about the sacrifices and imbalances that marked their early years of parenthood.
The couple first met on the sets of the television show Ghar Ek Mandir and tied the knot in 2003. They welcomed their daughter Sia in 2006 and later their son. However, as Ram’s career began soaring with back to back projects, his professional commitments left him with little time at home.
