Another day, another controversy from Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa — and this time, it involves Ram Kapoor and Gaurav Khanna. It all happened during a recent episode when Gaurav entered the house as a guest to support his wife, Akanksha Chamola. But instead of the reunion becoming the talking point, it was one comment from Ram Kapoor that sent social media into overdrive.
Here’s what happened.
Ram Kapoor’s Remark For Gaurav Khanna
While Gaurav Khanna was interacting with Akanksha Chamola inside the house, Ram Kapoor was seen chatting with fellow contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar. Pointing towards Gaurav, Ram asked, “What does he do?”
Dheeraj replied that Gaurav is an actor. Ram then followed it up by asking whether Gaurav was well known in the television industry. He then added, “Is he well known, though? I have never seen him before, but that’s because I don’t watch any content.”
The conversation quickly found its way to social media, where many viewers questioned how Ram Kapoor could be unfamiliar with one of television’s most talked-about actors.
Then Came The Twist
Interestingly, the situation took an unexpected turn later in the episode. When Gaurav and Ram came face-to-face, Ram greeted him warmly with a hug and said, “Good to see you again, man.”
Several social media users pointed out that if Ram genuinely didn’t know who Gaurav was moments earlier, how did he suddenly greet him so warmly? That contradiction became one of the biggest talking points online.
Why Are People Calling Ram Kapoor ‘Jealous’?
Soon after the clip surfaced, social media was flooded with reactions. Many viewers felt Ram’s earlier comments came across as dismissive, especially considering Gaurav Khanna’s recent success on television.
One user wrote, “Aray funny to tha jab wo milne aaye, and he was like ‘look meri jaaan so good to see you again.'” Another commented, “Jealousy at its peak.” Someone else wrote, “That’s clearly jealousy.”
One viewer added, “Jealousy at its peak, and then he acted so sweet while meeting Gaurav.” Another questioned, “If Salman Khan knows GK, how come Ram Kapoor doesn’t?” An individual even joked, “Doopar was like, isko nhi janta to mujhe to bilkul nhi janta hoga.”
Not Everyone Agreed
While many criticised Ram Kapoor, others came to his defence. Some viewers pointed out that Ram had clearly explained he doesn’t follow current television content. One fan wrote, “He clearly said he doesn’t watch any content.” Others argued that Ram Kapoor has been one of Indian television’s biggest stars for years and doesn’t necessarily have to know every contemporary actor.
Gaurav Khanna’s Recent Television Success
Gaurav Khanna became a household name after playing Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa. He later won Celebrity MasterChef before lifting the Bigg Boss 19 trophy, making him one of the most successful television personalities in recent times. He is now gearing up for another reality show as a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.
Ram Kapoor, meanwhile, remains one of television’s most respected veterans. He shot to fame with Kasamh Se before becoming a household name through Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Over the years, he has also starred in Ghar Ek Mandir, Manshaa, Dil Ki Baatein Dil Hi Jaane and Karle Tu Bhi Mohabbat.
