Ram Kapoor Opens Up About Childhood Trauma

During the secret-reveal task, Ram Kapoor spoke about an incident that took place when he was 13 years old and studying in Class 8 at a boarding school. He recalled that while students were chatting in their dormitory, a senior unexpectedly touched him under a blanket. "I didn’t know whether I should do something, stay quiet, keep tolerating it, or scream. After quite some time, I told him I wasn’t comfortable. He stopped immediately and left. After that, I changed a lot. I became very quiet and was deeply traumatised," Ram shared.

He also revealed that the same person later apologised and tried to make amends. Reflecting on the experience, Ram said, "It’s strange, but the person who caused my trauma also helped me heal. We eventually became good friends. A few weeks later, he apologised, and whenever he got the chance, he made sure I knew he was genuinely sorry. This is a secret that even my children and my parents don’t know. Only Gautami knows about it."

Ram added that the incident changed his outlook on life and taught him not to judge people too quickly, even though speaking about it still brings back painful memories.
