He is perhaps one of the most popular and loved TV actors of current times and today he celebrates his birthday. Ram Kapoor plays a character of the same name on Sony TV's 'Bade Ache Lagte Hain'. The show remains hugely successful with the masses and has survived a leap in the plot. Also starring Sakshi Tanwar in a lead role, 'BALH' is a special role for all Kapoor fans. BizAsia takes a look at five reasons why Kapoor is so loved as a TV personality.
His Smile
The first reason has got to be that smile of his which is heart-melting to say the least. In 'BALH', Kapoor's character learnt to smile a lot when Tanwar's Priya was around. The smile has a cheekiness, a sense of familiarity and it's uplifting. Not many smiles have this effect but Kapoor's very much does! Be it the lop-sided grin or the full on laugh, you see Kapoor smile and all you want to do is smile too.
His Exclusivity
It has to be said that what makes Kapoor unique to TV is that he doesn't dedicate his time to more than one project and this makes him a little more bankable than most. He said in an awards ceremony that the producer of 'BALH', Ekta Kapoor, had waited for him and handed the role to him on a plate. He was before seen as host on 'Rakhi Ka Swayamvar' and also in the serial 'Kasamh Se' with Prachi Desai. It can be said that 'BALH' is a show he is currently exclusive too and this makes the show special for the viewers too. His aura would very much be different should he have been seen in many projects at any one time and therefore on our screens a little in overdrive.
His Sense Of Humour
It's virtually impossible to think of Kapoor and not be a deewana of his sense of humour. It's evident, especially in interviews or reality shows that he has been a part of, that he is a man who loves to enjoy laugh and make people happy. This is a quality that seems to shine through and it's difficult not to surrender to it.
The Way He Looks
In a day and age where physical image is everything, he is someone who – to put it as politely as possible - is a little on the large side but is comfortable in being so. On paper, it's probably hard to think of an actor who is middle-aged with a commendable waistline who still manages to ooze s**iness but Kapoor ticks all those boxes.
His Honesty
This is perhaps the one thing on the list which should not have been left until last but it will give a great end to what is something to be proud of. Many people in the world go about their lives and their professions with much honesty and integrity but the ones who are lucky and those who don't need to shout it from the rooftops but still manage to portray this in all they do. There is no other way to describe this priceless part of Kapoor which comes through in all he does; his honesty.
BizAsia are sure there are many more things that could be added to this very short list but on such a special day all one can wish for is that Kapoor has a birthday that he will always remember. Here's hoping he is on our screens as Ram Kapoor for a long time to come.yayyy TRUE TRUE! actually there are many many many many more reasons
