TALKING POINT with Ram Kapoor

Sulakshana Gupta

Mumbai, April 9: Has it been difficult working with three newcomers on Kasamh Se?
It's brought a lot of energy to the production and the credit for that goes to the kids. I haven't really tried to teach them anything but occasionally when they do ask for my advice, I'm happy to help out.

You've worked hard at looking the part of an older man. Aren't you afraid of being typecast?
I want to play all kinds of characters—young, old, funny, serious. Even when I was offered the part, it was Ekta's idea to improvise with the look for Jai Walia. I have noticed that many of my colleagues are afraid to look older. But it doesn't bother me at all.

Has it been difficult working with Balaji?
It is difficult but only because the hours are crazy. Otherwise they really take care of you and payments are always on time.

Gautami and you are expecting your first child. How are you preparing for it?
She's the one doing all the work—painting rooms, moving in furniture. My shooting schedule is just too hectic. The two of you had great chemistry in Ghar Ek Mandir and Dhadkan. Will you work together again?
She will definitely work again. There has been talk of us working together on a Balaji show. You've always done peripheral roles in films. Any major projects coming up?
I've never actually looked out for roles. Right now, with this show, my plate is full. There are a couple of film projects that will start in the next few months.

You've left quite a few shows midway. Has that ever worked against you?
Not really. I don't foresee any problems with the current show, so I think I'm in for the long haul. There has also been talk of another show for Balaji itself. Right now they're trying to adjust my dates.
