| | | Jaam par lagaam: Ram Kapoor's look before and after weight loss | Kasamh Se's Jai Walia is undergoing a makeover of sorts. Those watching the Zee show, may have noticed a change in Ram Kapoor's look on the show.
The actor, who admits putting on loads of weight, is on a strict diet plan to get rid of that extra flab. The puffy cheeks, and the heavy broad shoulders have given way for a leaner look.
Sources claim that Ram's chaotic shooting hours made his eating hours go for a toss, resulting him in looking much older. "It was quite obvious that he had put on more weight than his character should have had. He started looking older than Bani and it wasn't looking too good on screen", says a source.
Looking fit and fine
However, the current Walia looks exactly the age bracket the show requires. "His look on the show now goes hand in hand with the track. He's looking better and fitter."
So how did Ram manage to lose weight despite shooting round the clock? "I have given up alcohol," reveals the actor. Known to have a liking for a peg or two after a long day's work, Ram has become a certified teetotaller.
"I know I had put on a lot of weight in the past few months. The main reason for this was my haywire meal timings. Initially, our shoots were chaotic and we would stay awake all night and then eat at weird hours. But now the show has settled down and it's doing well, so life is going back on track."
Gautami: Catalyst
Is it true that his wife Gautami, too, had a hand in pushing him towards a disciplined diet plan? "Of course, she is my biggest critic. She tells me when I look good and at times, when I look bad. It was evident to her that my weight had started showing on screen, so she talked me into getting serious about my eating habits."
Dus kilo aur
A workout addict, Ram hasn't been able to get back to his gym for weeks, due to the shoot. "Another reason for my heavy physique was because I gave up on my workout. That, added with the food I was eating, turned out to be a disaster for me."
Kapoor is adamant on losing 10 more kilos. "I have started eating less quantity of food in small intervals. I think it's more important to eat the correct amount at the right time. Also, I want to get back to my work out and make myself fitter."
Doesn't he ever get the itch to have a glass of whiskey at night? "No, once I have set my mind on something, I make sure I follow it." |
