Ram Kapoor on his health transformation
Kapoor has been open about his health journey, regularly sharing glimpses of his transformation on social media. Speaking on Bharti Singh’s podcast, the Neeyat actor revealed how his health struggles pushed him to take drastic action.
“When I was shooting Neeyat in Scotland, I was at my worst. I was taking insulin shots thrice a day, before every meal. I was 140 kgs, and my sugar was at ridiculous heights. My doctor told me that I’m working so much and I’m so unhealthy, I could have a diabetic stroke. That’s how unhealthy I was. I had to do a transformation, otherwise I would not have long to live,” he shared.
Addressing speculations around weight loss drugs
Kapoor’s transformation has sparked speculation, with some saying he relied on medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. While the actor has repeatedly denied these claims, he has also spoken candidly about being open to medical guidance.
He revealed that he was prepared to take Mounjaro under his doctor’s advice, but circumstances played out differently. Kapoor has also questioned the stigma surrounding weight loss medications, calling out the negativity around their use.
On the work front, Kapoor was last seen in JioHotstar’s thriller series Mistry, directed by Rishab Seth. The show also stars Mona Singh, Shikha Talsania, Kshitish Date, and Namantar Rajendra.
