Gautami: No more kids!
Gautami Kapoor shocked the nation when she replaced Smriti Irani as Tulsi on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. But since then, Gautami has been off the TV and social circuit. She delivered a baby boy in January and is dedicating all her time to him. We caught up with the actress to find out about her new arrival Aks, her comeback plans and her husband Ram Kapoor.
Aks is just 3-months-old, are his timings still erratic?
Now that he's not that small, his routine has become fixed. I know what time he gets up and what time he sleeps. There's no problem as such.
Who helps you take care of the baby?
Since I am at home, I take care of Aks. Ram is also at home these days so we have been really busy taking care of the kids. At the same time, we are enjoying it.
How much time has Ram been able to give to the baby?
Luckily, Kasamh Se has wrapped up and now that he is no longer on Jhalak, Ram can spend a good amount of time with the kids.
When you appeared on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, you looked like you gained a lot of weight. Has it been hard to lose the baby weight?
No, there was no question of gaining weight as I am constantly feeding Aks. In fact, just after my delivery, I was 23kgs overweight and now I am just 7kgs overweight. The problem on Jhalak was with the dress I wore!
What do you think about Ram's journey on Jhalak?
Ram was fabulous. He decided to participate on the show to reveal his real image to his fans and on the show, he was himself and that was great. Now, people know the real Ram.
Do you think his dancing has improved?
Ram always had a great sense of rhythm and excellent body language. The problem was with his weight. Had he not put on so much weight, I am sure he would have won on the show!
What was Sia's reaction to seeing her father dance on the show?
She followed every performance of his. She loved his dancing and the day he got eliminated, she was very upset.
Did you follow Jhalak when Ram was on?
I have always followed Jhalak, even the last two seasons. This time, because Ram was on, it was more special.
Who do you think will win?
That's a very tough question but I feel that Karan has very strong chances of winning.
When are you planning to resume work?
I want to resume work as soon as possible but now that Aks is just 3-months-old, I need some more time. And on the other hand, nothing really interesting has come my way.
What type of offers are you looking forward to?
I am very choosy when it comes to work. Ram made it very clear even when Sia was a baby that I should take up good work. Hence, I am waiting for something really different and good in terms of character.
Would you consider movie offers too?
I have done many fun movies and if an offer like one of those came my way, I would not give a second thought to doing it.
Are you planning to go on a holiday now that Sia has her summer vacations?
We wanted to go out but since Ram is working on projects we can't really. Aks is also too small now. We may plan something for June.
Are you planning to have more kids?
What? (Laughs) Well… I already have 4 children: Sia and Aks, my first child and our dog Joyee. So with all of them, my hands are full. So no more kids!
