Hey guys...This is it! It starts from bottom to top...Happy reading...😛

Ram Kapoor says, Hi All, I guess it's time for me to leave. I wish I could stay and answer a lot more of your questions, but time is always of the essense for me. God bless to all of you. Take care of yourselves and keep smiling
bhargu asked, hello ram....you are originally from which place?
Ram Kapoor answers, hi Bhargu, I was born in Delhi, but we moved to Bombay when i was one year old. and I have lived in Bombay ever since. However I have done all my schooling outside BOmbay in place like Nainital and Kodaikanal and then America for college. SO I like to think that I am pretty much from everywhere
bristi asked, Do you think the way JW loves Bani can happen in real lives? I mean JW gave up everything for his love to Bani...is this possible now?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Bristi, even though we live in a cynical world, I definitely think that this kind of love very much exists in the real world and I believe fiction that we see in these kind of TV shows, always get their inspiration from real life.
arpit asked, why did u do such measly roles in flicks like hazaroon and monsoon wedding
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Arpit, Two reasons...firstly even though I am a big name in television, I am Nobody when it comes to films, so I dont really have a choice. However I did accept these roles because both these films were very very good and I feel an actor has to keep experimenting in order to keep growing.
amreen asked, ram how do u rate urself as an actor from the scale of 1 t 10?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Amreen, God, this is quite a philosiphical question. Actually I think an actor should not dwell on these kind of things, as they are not important in the larger scheme of things. However since you have asked me, on a scale of one to ten, I think I am 5. I say that because, I definitely know my job, but I still have a long way to go
MJ asked, Hello, Usually cinema is a powerful tool to create awareness or to increase awareness in ppl. Do you think that TV media is also equally strong? Is there a particular issue you would like to address using you star status( the issues are like major social issues in india that you would liek to see changed)
Ram Kapoor answers, HI MJ, I think Television is a even stronger medium than cinema, as it enters into every single persons house. HOwever I dont think it's being used as it should be as yet, because our programs are too repetitive and we have a long way to go.
Victoria asked, Ram, my question affects any family that has talented and ambitious people. Both you and Gautami have very successful careers. How & when do you find time for each other and the baby? Your answer may inspire people who are havign troubles working this out. Please answer.
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Victoria, THis is an extemely good question and by no means am I an expert on this issue. Gautami and me also struggle at times, but we both have put our foot down and we both take one day out in a week, which is completely the family day. And we dont even answer phone calls on that day. It's not much but atleast it's a start.
shafaq asked, Hey Ram .. Would like to ask .. which scene did u enjoy the most shooting for .. throughtout... all ur episodes..? any particualr reason...?? ... and once again .. when will u be coming to London again ... coz wen u came for Zee Carnival .. i couldnt come coz i had my exam the next dy .. nad i literaly spent 2 hours crying.. coz i couldnt comee... do you have any plans for coming next time...
Ram Kapoor answers, Hey Shafaq, I think one of my most favourite scenes that I have done in Kasamh Se, was the one where I speak to my unborn child, while the child is still in Bani's womb. That scene really touched me, because even in my personal life, Gautami was pregnant. Am sorry you missed me at the Zee Carnival. I hope you did well in your exams. Well, Zee is taking me for the Singapore carnival as well. So maybe if you get lucky, I might come for the Zee Carnival in London next year.
prapti asked, Mr. Ram you shell know my grandmother, my mother and my younger sister pracheta who is also present here right now chatting with you are extremely big fans of yours
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi to all of you. THank you so much and I hope to continue working hard to keep all of you happy
zeel asked, hi ram. u look more handsome in KSBKBT. but ur character is weird in it. can u explain it. how do u feel to work opposite ur wife? kasam se is getting boring due to no jai-bani reunion. so what's going to happen into kasam se. can u please give little hint. how's ur offscreen chemistry with prachi desai?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Zeel, Thanks for the compliment. And yes, I do agree, my character in Kyunki is extremely weird. but that's what appealed to me the most, as I wanted to do something very different from Jai Walia. Working with my wife is a lot of fun, as we know each other very well, of course. I have no clue what's gonna happen in KS. I get along very very well with Prachi Desai
*Taz* asked, How does it feel to have Ashwini Kalsekar back in KS? I am over the moon she is back! All of us in have IF really missed her
Ram Kapoor answers, hi Taz, I am also over the moon that Ashwini is back. SHe is a fantastic actor and Kasamh Se really missed her as she is an asset to the show.
Gentle asked, WAS UR PHOTO WITH NAMAN SHAW IN A CITY TABLOID JUST A PUBLICITY STUNT??
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Gentle, No my photo with Naman was definitely not a publicity stunt. There is too much written about me anyways, so I hardly need to do anything for publicity. Naman and me were getting irritated by those journalists and their personal questios, so we decided to have some fun. That's it.
scifichick asked, Hello Ram, I just wanted to say I think you are a fantastic actor. What are your thoughts on the use of body doubles especially during pivotal scenes that should move the storyline along? Do you think that body doubles lead to a loss of the essence of chemistry and emotions that the main actors would portray in person?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi scifichick, well first of all I completely agree with you. Body doubles should ideally never be used because of things like chemistry. But the lead actors in a TV show, have lots and lots of work and because we are always under telecast pressures, the producers have no choice but to use body doubles sometimes.
Deepti asked, Gautami and my brother studied in Ruia together they were good friends.... by the way i love your show, im in dallas and i can never miss watching kasam se. So are you going to do movies soon???
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Deepti, I have done four movies, but write now I am very happy in television. Dont' know what will happen in the future.
Piku asked, Which actor do you admirer on Tellywood and on Big Screen?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Piku THe actor I admire the most is Robert De Niro. In Bollywood I guess I would say Aamir Khan.
Ram Kapoor says,
romykhanna@rediffmail.com asked, Hello Sir, Do you have your own website where fans can read about you. If not, are you plannig to?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Romy, No I dont have my own website and I am not planning to have one, as I dont consider myself that big. I think you have to be SRK level to have your own website. However, if you want to read up on me, everything is pretty much available on the internet. On Yahoo fan clubs, our fan have made a site called the Ram and Gauami Boulevard where there is so much about me that it shocks me also
harry asked, y there is white patch in your hairs...is it natural???
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Harry, no obviously that white patch is not natural, which is why it is not there in Kyunki. and also if you see a lot of Ram Kapoor's photographs in th papers, there is no white patch either
texan asked, how did u feel when Ekta praised u in KWK inspite her fav was Ronit roy before u became the hot property of Indian Television?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Texan,when Ekta praised me in Koffee with Karan, I obviously felt great as I had not expected it. However at the end of the day, we are all actors doing our job, so it's better not to dwell on these things too much
arti asked, Mr.Ram I am gr8 fan of ur acting any chances of u acting in serials other than the balajis?and now since ur acting in 2 serials how do u mangae to spend time at home is it not to stressful?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Arti, as of now I'm very happy with Balaji and have no plans of working outside, atleast at present. Don't know about the future. Yes, doing 2 shows can be very stressful, but I do love my job and hard work never killed anyone. But yes, I dont get enough time with my family and I do miss that sometimes.
nina sahota asked, Hi ram nina here i wanted to know few things things firstly how well you get on with ronit? whats it like working for ekta and lastly what storyline would you personally like to put into kasamh se if you had choice would your wife come into the show ever
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Nina, I get along very well with Ronit as we have similar interests and we respect each other as actors. Working with Ekta is great, as she is very passionate about her work and she really knows what she is doing. The storyline of a daily soap is very very confusing for a guy like me. I would go brain dead if I had to put my inputs in it, so I just prefer to keep following the screenplay quietly. And NO, I would probably not want my wife to come Kasamh Se, as the Jai Bani chemistry is really loved by the fans and Gautami coming in would probably affect that.
Ram Kapoor says,
Mamta asked, When are you going to visit the states like the sunny California, New York, Texas or Chicago?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Mamta, I love Sunny California. I lived in LA for 4 years. However it's just too far and I just don't have the time. However I will be in NY, next month for the Independence Day Parade
Rajni asked, Hi Ram, I would like to tell you that you are mind-blowing as Jai Walia. You and Prachi Desai infuse life into the characters when together and your chemistry (chemistry doesn't suffice, I would say connection) is unbelievable (touchwood and mashalla) and is the only reason why I started watching KS and is the only reason why I'm still watching KS. If you don't mind me asking, what do you attribute to this connection (ya chemistry) that translates so well onscreen?
Ram Kapoor answers, Hello Rajni, that's a good question. I don't really know why our chemistry is so good. This is something that one never really knows. Maybe it's because on a personal level, we get along very very well and I am extremely fond of her.
Sam asked, Ram why did you stop coming on India Forums...we wud love to have you back...some of us are your biggest fans...even during the low Phase of JW we hav stuck faithfully, always will.we fight for you lol and for us you should come back
Ram Kapoor answers, Hi Sam, I've not intentionally stopped coming to India Forums. It's just that I'm working twice as many hours as I did before. I will try and come and visit soon.
rush asked, HI Ram...love u as JW...can we hav you back pls...pls...i dont like the Wimpy JW...we want the Khadoos JW who was adorable...
Ram Kapoor answers, HI Rush, this is a question that you should ask Ekta and her creative team. I like to be very professional in my work ethic, so I never mess with the screenplay. I just come and do my job.
Sam asked, Hi Ram...so glad to have you here. your role in KS n KSKBT but would love to see you more on KS and as THE JAI WALIA. When Can We have our beloved Jai Walia back?
Ram Kapoor answers, Thanks Sam for the compliment. I dont know what you mean by Jay Valia back...cos he hasnt gone any where. Just because I'm doing Kyunki, it doesnt change anything. Kasamh Se is very close to my heart and will always be my priority.
Ram Kapoor says, Hi All, am noticing that lot of you are asking questions about my weight loss. so letting you all know, that I definitely plan to continue. I have lost 7kgs so far and plan to lose another 7 atleast.
Rummo1 asked, HEy ram!!!!! i think ur an awesomee actorrrr!!!!!!!! i rreallly love ur work in kasam see! keep up the good work! so what are ur future plans?
Ram Kapoor answers, Thanks Rummo. I have my hands full right now, with Kasam Se and Kyunki. So concentrating on that. Not thinking too much into the future
Ram Kapoor says, Hi Everybody, Ram Kapoor here. Good evening
