The Hilarious Misunderstanding That Led to Ram Kapoor Washing Dishes!
When filmmaker Farah Khan recently visited actor Ram Kapoor’s opulent South Mumbai residence for a culinary vlog, she likely anticipated lively banter and a new recipe. What she didn’t expect was a hilarious misunderstanding that led to the acclaimed actor rolling up his sleeves for dish duty! As Ram welcomed Farah and her beloved cook, Dilip, he affectionately greeted Dilip first, exclaiming, “Bhai, asli star toh tu hai!” Farah, feigning mock offense, retorted, “Sharam toh nahi aayi na, mujhe baad mein hug kia tune?” – a playful jab at his priorities.
The real drama unfolded when Farah *thought* she overheard Ram playfully call Dilip “dhakkan” (a derogatory term meaning ‘lid’ or ‘idiot’). Visibly bristling, she geared up for a stern lecture. However, Ram quickly clarified, revealing he was affectionately referring to one of his beloved pets, not Dilip. Despite the clarification, Farah, known for her quick wit and mischievous spirit, seized the moment. Remembering Ram’s past role as a brand ambassador for Vim detergent, she gleefully challenged him to wash utensils, a task he sportingly accepted, much to the amusement of the camera and audience.
A Glimpse Inside Ram Kapoor’s Lavish South Mumbai Abode
Before their kitchen escapade, Ram Kapoor, accompanied by his equally charming wife Gautami Kapoor, generously offered Farah a comprehensive tour of their sprawling South Mumbai property. Farah, with her characteristic humor, couldn’t resist teasing him, declaring, “South Bombay ke bhai bade bade log!” Ram, ever modest, highlighted the differences between their extravagant homes, pointing out, “I don’t have a terrace which has a swimming pool, plus you have three floors, I have one.”
The tour unveiled several unique and conversation-starting elements. Their dedicated meeting and movie room showcased Ram’s love for cinema and gatherings. However, the true showstopper, which left Farah visibly surprised, was a gigantic, vibrant lip-shaped couch adorning their bathroom – a playful duplicate of a piece he admired in the Maldives. Ram even showcased a distinctive coffin-shaped table in his bar area, adding a touch of quirky eccentricity to his luxurious dwelling.
Nostalgia and Revelations: Ram and Farah’s Deep-Rooted Friendship
Amidst the home tour and kitchen antics, the air was thick with nostalgia as Farah Khan and Ram Kapoor reminisced about their long-standing friendship, dating back to Ram’s early days when he weighed around 150 kilograms. Ram shared a fascinating anecdote from his college days in Los Angeles, recalling a time when Bollywood’s big names – Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Arbaaz Khan, and Rajesh Sathi – crammed into his modest one-BHK flat for two weeks. Farah playfully interjected, “Yeh mera poora Nehru Nagar ka poora gang, mujhe inn logon ne out kardia tha,” underscoring their shared history and deep camaraderie.
Their candid conversation also delved into Ram’s significant weight loss journey. Farah directly asked if this transformation had opened doors to more diverse roles. Ram’s response was refreshingly humble and self-aware. “Farah you know this, some people reach a level in their career where kaam aataa hai because they have nothing more to prove. I am no star, I never will be a star. My name is not Khan,” he stated, attributing his success to his craft, not his celebrity status. Farah was quick to interject, asserting, “He is a big star!” To which Ram responded, “Character actor bol na, mujhe acha lagta hai. Maine yeh kaam ke liye nahi kia, I did it for my health. Maine socha hua tha that I’ll do it at 50.” This exchange underscored his dedication to his well-being over superficial fame.
The Pablo Escobar Portrait and Ram’s Artistic Homage
Another intriguing revelation during the tour was a massive portrait of Ram Kapoor himself, depicted in an older character from his film, *Neeyat*. Farah, ever the humorist, likened it to a painting of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. Ram explained its significance: “That was gifted to me by one of my producers from Neeyat film. It reminds me who I am, who I was. I was lucky that I was accepted like this.” It served as a powerful visual reminder of his journey and evolution as an actor, embraced in various forms. Farah, with a laugh, playfully reminded him of his versatility, quipping, “You are a good actor that’s why, Humshakals nahi dekhi kya?”
Farah Khan’s Epic Home, as Described by Ram Kapoor
The conversation naturally pivoted from Ram’s dwelling to Farah’s own palatial Mumbai residence. The *Bade Achhe Lagte Hain* actor offered a vivid, almost fantastical, description of Farah Khan’s home, truly painting a picture of its immense scale. “Unka ghar shuru hota hai, building khatam hoti hai, par ghar khatam nahi hota,” he began. “You go till the top in the lift, then there’s another lift, which is her private one, jo aur 3-4 floors upar jaati hai. Then, there’s a private terrace and swimming pool on the third floor. She owns a mini building on top of a massive building.” This description perfectly encapsulates the lavish lives these Bollywood personalities lead, often beyond public imagination.
A Heartwarming Gesture and Daily Routines Revealed
The vlog concluded on a sweet note. Gautami Kapoor, Ram’s wife, presented Dilip, Farah’s cook, with a thoughtful gift: a t-shirt emblazoned with the Hindi word for ‘Best.’ This small, heartwarming gesture highlighted the genuine warmth and respect within their circle. As they wound down, sipping tea, Ram Kapoor casually revealed a surprising detail about his daily routine: he eats only two meals a day, limiting his in-between consumption to just tea and coffee. It was a candid glimpse into the simple habits of a man living an otherwise extraordinary life, capping off a delightful and insightful celebrity home tour.
