'Anupamaa' fame 'Vanraj' calls it mental instability; 'Mystery' actor was removed from all promotional event
'Anupamaa' fame Sudhanshu Pandey has reacted to Ram Kapoor's objectionable comment. Additionally, Sudhanshu apologised on behalf of the entire TV industry for Ram's statement.
In an interview with 'Filmy Beat', Sudhanshu Pandey said, "I feel that firstly if Ram has done this, he is tarnishing Ram's name, that's the first thing. Secondly, I feel that only if you are mentally unstable would you make such statements."
Sudhanshu Pandey further said, "About any girl's clothes or about her, and especially if she is in such close proximity to you, if someone is taking an interview or something, and you speak about her like that, I think this is a strong symptom of mental instability."
Sudhanshu also said, "I feel this way because generally men, we people remain so respectful towards everyone, so when it comes to girls it's an even bigger deal. If you are using disrespectful words or gestures for any woman, then I feel we are in a very wrong space and if I don't know, if you told me that Ram said something like this then definitely this is a very wrong space and if this has happened, I apologise and regret that someone from my fraternity has done something like this."
TV actor Ram Kapoor is in the news these days. He was accused of misbehaving with marketing and PR team members during the promotion of his new show 'Mystery'.
After the controversy, Ram Kapoor said in a conversation with E-Times, "The allegations made against me, I have said all of that. So yes, I am guilty, but in my defense I want to say - when I am among people with whom I feel comfortable, I become carefree. People who know me and have worked with me know that this is how I am and my intention is never to hurt anyone."
Ram said if it was wrong, he wouldn't have said it in the media Ram Kapoor said that at that time the whole team was in a joking mood. If he felt that people around were uncomfortable, he would have apologised immediately. He explained that he had commented on a girl's clothes and called it a 'distraction'. Clarifying this, he said, "If I felt this was wrong, I wouldn't have said it in a hall full of media. For the first time in 25 years, my character has been questioned, so I want to present my side."
Actor Ram Kapoor was removed from promoting his comeback series "Mystery" on Jio Hotstar following inappropriate comments at a promotional event. During interviews at JW Marriott Mumbai, he made controversial remarks, comparing work to gang rape and commenting inappropriately about a PR team member's dress. After complaints, Jio Hotstar's HR decided to exclude him from all promotional activities.
Ram later acknowledged his mistake, stating he wasn't aware of certain sensitivities and needs to change his old habits. He respected the platform's decision and expressed willingness to apologise to team members who were hurt. The series, also starring Mona Singh, started streaming on June 27.
